This was a wonderful title for the beginner to help you sort through all of the different oils and their uses. I wished I would have had something like this ages ago. My favorite parts were where the author goes into depth about labels which is great. Since those can be very confusing. I would recommend this book to beginners as well as those who are looking for more.

What an amazing book. Full of great information. The first chapter goes into the Essential oils and their uses. A great go-to guide. The second chapter has organic remedies for everyday living. So if you have allergies, earache, eczema, sore muscles you can find the oils to use in this chapter. There are recipes for emotional and well being, cosmetics and personal care, There is also a chapter for the home and outdoors, air fresheners, car smells, bug bites, and mold. A definitive book that will be a wonder for the person who loves to use essential oils. I got into this a few years ago and I want to get back into it again. I highly recommend it.

I’ve always been intrigued by essential oils but everytime I go to the store I’m completely overwhelmed. This is a great book to explain the basics and offer remedies for a multitude of ailments or even cleaning supplies. It was very helpful to have many of the popular oils individually explained regarding their beneficial properties. I liked how the author offers clarity to the labeling aspect. “100 percent therapeutic grade” & “100 percent pure” on a label are just marketing terms with no real certification value. Robinson gives helpful hints for finding organic or wildcrafted oils. She puts a focus on the safety needed in order to prevent irritation or harm and gave special warning for which oils shouldn’t be used around children. I found this to be a great resource for future concoctions and very informative. Thanks to NetGalley & Callisto Media for the opportunity to read this and offer my honest opinion.

I have tried essential oils but the ones I bought off the shelves made my sinuses swell and bleed. I have looked for a comprehensive book on the oils but could never find it. Voila'! Finally! Thisnbook has over 150 recipes and remedies. It has extensive profiles of the oils and the safest practices to use them. It lets you know where to get the ingredients and gives you guidance on getting them. There is really a lot to be said for essential oils in natural healing and health.
