As a new student to oiling, I found this book to the perfect accompaniment to my new interest. I love how the book focuses on 25 essential oils and does a very detailed overview of each one. The different recipes, various uses, cautionary recommendations, and resources are so valuable to anyone "getting into" essential oils. The author's knowledge and experience is expressed throughout this book. I cannot wait to try some of the recipes. Highly recommended for all levels of oilers! |
I do not pretend to know a lot about aromatherapy but I have used certain oils before and was keen to learn more so when this book popped up on NetGalley I took the opportunity to further my knowledge. It is one of three books related to health I have read in the last few weeks. As people i'm close to know, I live with a number of incurable illnesses that are often the bain of my life so I am always on the lookout for any information on treatments that may make my time more bearable. I am taking enough medication so I have been looking into yoga, pilates, meditation etc and I thought this book complimented those 'alternative therapies' well. This is an ideal beginner's guide - the descriptions of the oils themselves are clear and concise and include their uses and safety considerations as well as recipes for creating various remedies. I look forward to trying some of these. I recently tried a muscle rub that really worked and in that was some of these oils so I am cautiously optimistic that I may benefit in some way from purchasing some of these and using them to concoct some magic potion! A big thank you to Storey Publishing for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. |

Can't wait to try some of these out! |
