The bulk of the book is a directory of 100 oils, each complemented by a full-colour photograph of the plant from which the oil is made. Each information-packed entry takes a holistic approach, offering specific examples of how you can use the oil to benefit both mind and body, whether massaging sore muscles with rosemary oil or adding ylang ylang oil to a bath to calm your mind.

the proper storage of EOs and getting the best use of the guide book
I borrowed this book from the library and found it very helpful so, I put it on my wish list. It was given to me for Christmas and will soon be full of post-it flags. The book is divided into two sections.Part One: The Power of Essential Oils – This is a mini course that really explains what EOs do, how our bodies get the most out of them through absorption or aromatherapy, the proper storage of EOs and getting the best use of the guide book.Part Two: A Guide to Oils – This section starts out with an overview of the best carrier oils. Next it goes into a wonderful full color guide of 100 Essential Oils. All oils are divided into color coded sections depending on their use. These include- Muscle Treats; Skin Enhancers; Easy Breathers; Warming Stimulants; Immune Boasters; Hormone Harmonizers; Nerve Relievers; Digestive Soothers; and Uplifting Aromas. The book concludes with a reference section that includes a glossary, Bibliography, and aromatherapy organizations.As you can tell, I’m very happy with this book. I hope this review helps you in choosing an EO book that works for you.

must have for essential oil enthusiasts!
this is a fantastic book, sorted by the benefits of each oil. for example-subheading: immune boosters, nerve relievers, etc. detailed descriptions of the oils, the cautions for each one, how they work in the body physically AND emotionally ( I love that part) and there are a couple of recipes for each oil. photos of the plant are also included, Latin names, where they grow, how they are processed. It’s small in size, but not in content! I take it with me all over the place.

Good book with lots of great info for people learning about essential oils.
I purchased this book because it has a lot of various oils from the more popular and easy to find to ones that I had never heard of. It has good info on them such as colors, odors and popular uses for them. I purchased my own copy because I am learning more about using essential oils around the house and in my beauty/health routines. I had originally checked the book out from my local library, but I kept renewing it and rechecking it out so frequently that I figured I should get a copy of my own. I have referenced back to it multiple times and recommend it for anyone learning about essential oils.

I highly recommend this book!
This book is small in size but the text is easy to read. The images are beautiful and the book is of fantastic quality. I love how in-depth the information is including safety awareness which I feel many books on essential oils leave out. This one has it all. As a beginner I am just learning all the benefits of essential oils and this book will provide me a wealth of information. I highly recommend this book.

Very useful little book.
I am new to the world of essential oils and wanted to know more about the various properties and uses of them. I looked at many books and in the end I settled on this one I’m glad I did.The information is organized in a rational fashion and it is very detailed. It’s small enough to store in my oils container so I can refer to it while using the oils. I am very happy with this purchase.

Mind body and spirit covered in this delightful book.
I bought this on the advice of my sister. She knew what she was talking about. I love the fact that it addresses mind, body, and spirit is great. This is just what I didnât know I was looking for.

I don’t find this book very practical, especially for a beginner – off it went back to Amazon. Not much practical use as to how to blend.

Well organised and complete – a useful compact reference book. I also bought a copy of the Spanish version for a friend who was equally delighted with the book.
