The Essential Oils Handbook: All the Oils You Will Ever Need for Health, Vitality and Well-being Paperback – 15 April 2008

Great little book and that was the first surprise. Somehow I expected a book about 10"x8" and it was literally a handbook the size of my palm!Don't be put off...the contents far outweigh the physical dimensions of this book.Written in easy flowing language (rather than some jargon or techno-speak)it covers everything from a comprehensive yet concise listing of each of the essential oils - their derivation, uses, benefits and suggested blends for various medical or psychological conditions as well as covering what is aromatherapy?, what aromatherapy can do, how essential oils are produced, how to use essential oils and the difference in the different carrier oils. Furthermore, the layout is enhanced by the use of lots of colour photographs which break up the text effectively.There is even a short section on massage with photos to help guide you and Jennie Harding does not forget to put in a chapter on safe usage since certain oils can produce undesirable effects.A very informative book for the layman,equipping you with enough knowledge to make the use of essential oils part of your daily life.Enjoy!

Great handy little book

Totally recommend this book. So good I bought another for my daughter who is also studying Aromatherapy. Lots of useful information. And excellent blend suggestions. Pleasantly surprised by this book. Highly recommend.

This book was recommendedn to me, it may be a small sized book but its easy to carry around with you, very cheap considering the amount of useful information in there, it's like a mini encyclopedia, and lots of extra useful tips on how to use the oils, which are listed in groups of what they are used for.

Good little book not always easy to find the oils I want to look up

Not as new looking as described, but very good book. thankyou.

Great book

Replacing my last one of the same book as was over used. Still one of the best.
