Great book
I love this book. I read about it on one of my essential oils facebook groups. The lady was absolutely right. It is chocked full of information. It is written very clear and concise. There does not seem to be a lot of “fluff’ added in the pages. It promotes essential oil safety and gives lot s of tables for reference to dilution rates etc. It has a brief summary of a lot of everyday common oils. I did not think initially that I would find much useful information since I have so many books written by many experts on essential oil. However, I have to say I was wrong. I found lots of useful information and it is all easy to find and refer to. I highly recommend adding this to your library. It is not a cheap book, but then it is not an overly expensive book. It depends on your perspective and what knowledge is worth to you.

very happy I purchased this
Very helpful book… very happy I purchased this… it covers everything from describing the oils, benefits, therapeutic uses, how to make a custom blend (most books don’t talk about this), blending by chemistry makeup of the oils (very technical for those of who want this info), blending by notes, Ex. whether the oil is a top, middle or base note and even blending by plant family. It talks about how the oils affect mood, which oils help specific conditions or ailments. Overall, it’s a great book to have!!

Great Reference on Blending Essential Oils
In this book, Rebecca shares a wide range of information related to blending essential oils for healing, beginning with the parts of plants from which the essential oils are extracted, to different methods of extraction, how to determine the quality of essential oils, how to store them, the methods of use, and dilution rates.She shares profiles of 40 carrier oils and 122 essential oils, noting both their healing properties and whether they belong to top, middle or bottom note. In the blending section of the book, she also has blending charts according where the oils are divided according to their healing properties and the notes.She discusses four techniques for blending: blending by notes, blending by botany, blending by chemistry and blending by effect. Suggested ratio of blending is 3:2:1 for top : middle : bottom note, or 3 – 15 drops of top note, 2 – 10 drops of middle note, 1 – 5 drops of bottom note for 30 ml of carrier oil.You’ll find here suggestions for blending oils to improve your moods giving a boost both to your mental and emotional state (e.g. oil blends to help you cope with anxiety or to boost your confidence), as well as those can help with physical challenges (acne, itching, aches and pains). You’ll find information how to blend oils for children (to help the child to sleep peacefully, or to help with upset tummy), as well as for elderly (e.g. joint pain, circulatory problems).While typical aromatherapy books share recipes with specific herbs that don’t leave you much leeway to maneuver, this books gives you a lot of creative space to choose the oils that you already may have, or enjoy and all kinds of ways that you can blend them to meet your specific needs. It’s perfect.

A great beginner book!
This book is great. It is written in layman terms. I love the colored print in the book. It just makes it more interesting in my opinion. The diagrams, charts, and drawings are very informational. Overall, I recommend this book to all aromatherapists and essential oil lovers. I will definitely buy more books by Rebecca Park Totilo!

Therapeutic Blending With Essential Oils–EXCELLENT!
I LOVE this book! It is not proprietary, just great info on learning to blend your own oils. This book covers four methods for blending: by Notes, by Botany, by Chemistry, and by Effect. Also includes blending for children, elderly, and pregnancy. This book as SO MUCH…look at the table of contents.

Wow! Beats Valerie Worwood by a mile!
Wish I’d been introduced to Ms Totilo long ago. This feels like an actual textbook as opposed to a reference guide or a blog writers’ recipe book. And, it’s not ‘dummed-down’ like Top Selling books written by celebrity TV doctors that speak more about their home-style/ life-style. Very impressive! Hopefully, her companion book is this informative.

I’ve used one or two Essential Oils for a while, but wanted more information & detailed, on how to blend oils for specific uses. This book is very well detailed, providing good information about individual oils, which oils blend well with other oils, oils for specific uses such as ailments. Informative Charts are spread throughout the book & I’ve found it easy to understand.
Gardsuener –
What a gem of a book. Easy to read, and the terms I didn’t understand are explained in the back. So much info, just what I’ve been searching for. It explains all about the different oils and their uses, how to blend according to chrmical/therapeutic/botany/and effect. Tells you about the history of essential oils, gives recipes to make bath salts etc.can’t recommend this book highly enough.

This a great book I will use over and over again. I have respiratory and sinus issues – anything you name it I have had them all. They wouldn’t kill me but definitely made my life miserable until I, by chance, discovered the benefits of essential oils. I even invested in a few top notch ultrasonic essential oil diffusers.The hardest thing for me was the find a book or two that would tell me how to use essential oils for what their benefits. Most of the books I came cross on Amazon.ca are about lotion, shampoo and other beauty products – not that there is anything wrong with those book, they are just not what I am looking. I need simply and easy to use yet informative books that I can follow as well as create my own blends.This book provides exactly what I have been looking for. I am so happy that after months of search I finally found my aromatherapy bible. Along with another book I purchase, The Aromatherapy Handbook: Essential Oil Uses and Applications, I am all set to turn my home into a health home for the entire family.
