If you are interested in using Essential Oils for therapeutic purposes, then you need to add Essential Oils To Boost The Brain & Heal The Body by Jodi Cohen to your natural healing library. Jodi's book is full of self-diagnostic quizzes to help you ascertain what types of medical issues you are dealing with and detailed information on how essential oils work with your body to help you naturally heal. Her book is also full of helpful physiological charts and recipes to get you started. I own numerous books on Essential Oils and have found information in Jodi's book that I have not found elsewhere. I found the book so helpful that I ended up purchasing the hardcopy and have it filled with post-it notes for pages that I reference often. I have also used a few of her blends and found them helpful.

This was a very information filled book for anyone who is new to essential oils and looking to gain knowledge about how to use them for healing. Easy to read and lots of great information.

Excellent resource for using essential oils. It has very interesting information. I intend to try putting this information to use for my own issues regarding sleep.

I received an advance copy from the publisher via NetGalley for my voluntary,honest review.

I want to thank Netgalley and the author for gifting me the ebook. Wonderful book! I have been wanting to get into essential oils. I am really into holistic healing instead of using drugs and harmful chemicals. Will read again.

Essential oils are a great addition to your everyday medical tool kit. This book shows you how they can boost your brain and help the body and keeps you interested through the whole book.

Lovely book and well written. You may find my full review on my website.

Essential Oils to Boost the Brain and Heal the Body by Jodi Cohen was a very interesting read and different from other essential oil books I have read.

I think Cohen was great about giving lots of information and knowledge in a very small amount of space. She explained points well with clear and easy to process examples. I appreciated all the different diagrams as well.

I found this book much more informative than other similar books.

I received an eARC from Ten Speed Press through NetGalley. All opinions are 100% my own.

In Jodi Cohen’s five-step protocol, the body's natural systems are jump-started with essential oil recipe blends that can:
• Alleviate stress, anxiety, and depression
• Improve sleep
• Calm pain and inflammation
• Increase energy, sharpen focus, and improve memory
• Improve digestion and promote weight loss
• Strengthen your immune system
With these five steps, you’ll be able to start your own essential oils regimen immediately and be on your way to a healthier body and brain..

I have been interested in essential oils and their healing properties, so I was intrigued by this book. I have multiple health issues so if this could help in any way, I was willing to give it a try. I was impressed with how everything was explained and then studies backing the findings were cited as well. At the end of the book is a treasure trove of recipes for things like a Circadian Rhythm Blend, Detox Bath, a Craving-Buster Blend, and an Anti-Inflammatory Blend, just to name a few. This book is definitely one that I will be referring to over and over again..

Wow!! What a wonderful resource to add to your nonfiction shelves!! Until reading this book, I had yet to find the information on how essential oils can heal. I personally have several chronic illnesses, and I will be using the methods in this book. I truly believe in the power of essential oils as I have been using them in my health arsenal for a while. I enjoyed the layout of this book and the format in which it was written. This is not only informative, but enjoyable to read. Thank you so much for writing such a great reference book!

Definitely a reference book to have. More insight to conditions that various essential oils can help with although I quite like the smells of most of them mentioned. I still have alot of oils missing from my collection.

What an amazing selection of health issues these oils can help with both known and unknown.

Get those postit notes ready to Mark' these pages! I know I've taken useful notes.

This Self-Help Resource Book is Truly Worth its Weight in Gold!

In June after attending the online workshop, “Vagus Nerve Stimulation with Essential Oils” presented by Jodi Cohen, I preordered Ms. Cohen’s text, Essential Oils to Boost the Brain and Heal the Body: 5 Steps to Calm Anxiety, Sleep Better, and Reduce Inflammation to Regain Control of Your Health.

Whether you are someone like me who is at the cusp of 62 years of age, or if you a young woman in your 30s dealing with uterine fibroids, or perhaps you’re someone who is trying to heal the lingering effects in your body months after contracting COVID19, I think you will welcome the opportunity to read this volume. This new self-help guide has arrived on the scene, just at the right moment.

Living with the unpredictability of a worldwide pandemic, many of us have devoted countless hours trying to improve our health and/or finding ways to assist our friends and loved ones. This has resulted in our investing a disproportionate amount of time attempting to navigate the myriad of ways to heal our immune systems, while at the same time, seeking ways to calm our nervous systems, especially given the intensity of this anxiety we have collectively been experiencing. This is precisely why this text could not have been published at a more opportune time, thankfully presenting its material in a well-researched and concise manner, addressing these two critically important interconnected health concerns.

I have personally benefited from the use of essential oils blends in balancing/supporting my own health. At the same time, I have sought effective ways to help family members and friends seeking to improve their health utilizing aromatherapy. This book presents ways to incorporate the use of targeted essential oil blends, attacking specific health needs, while at the same time it presents information on implementing and/or improving diet and lifestyle practices to strengthen the components of the body’s immune system.

The research presented in this guide helps to illuminate the qualities of the oils individually, how these oils perform individually, how they interact when combined with other essential oils forming synergistic essential oil blends, and how and when to apply the blends in the most effective manner. Benefits, as well as important safety precautions of essential oils and blends, are also presented in a user-friendly format. This information is presented in the context of strengthening components of the immune system such as the parasympathetic nervous system, the endocrine system, and the hypothalamus, among others, shedding on light on ways to balance and support these key components leading to good health.

The text concludes with a 5-step regimen that can help most people recover and restore their health. The information that Jodi Cohen has packed into this must read text is amazing. It’s truly worth its weight in gold!

I am so grateful to have found this book. It has reawakened my fascination with an interest in and believe in the power of healing one’s body, mind, and spirit through essential oils. Before reading this, I only had a very basic understanding of how essential oil’s work. The author goes into much greater detail here, which has only increased my understanding. Some of the information was a little too scientific for me, and over my head, but most of it was written in a way that I could completely understand. I already have my order in for a paperback copy of this book so I can highlight underline and have it on my healing shelf.

Thanks to NetGalley, the author and publisher for an advanced reading copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

--Must Have for Your Essential Oil Library--

I received an advanced review copy from the publisher of this book through NetGalley and here are my thoughts.

I own several excellent books on essential oils, which I have enjoyed using for years, and it would take a special book to get me to purchase another book on essentials oils. This is THAT SPECIAL BOOK.

Jodi Cohen and Ten-Speed Press have put together an incredibly useful, beautiful, and well organized book that presents scientific information and "actual usage" cases that I have yet to read in my other sources. In addition, the book addresses in detail the top health concerns for many in modern industrialized societies...brain function, blood sugar levels, and the parasympathetic system. As a side note, I learned about Jodi through her amazing online summit that brought together many experts on the Parasympathetic System. This woman is dedicated to educating people about how to regain their mental and physical health through activating the parasympathetic system and take us out of our "fight or flight" sympathetic system.

So, this book is not an "Complete Guide to 1001 Essential Oils". Instead, it deep dives into how essential oils affect our body (brain, vagus nerve, etc.) and how they can be used to detox specific organs (lungs, intestines, skin, kidneys, uterus, etc.), and systems (digestive, lymphatic and more). Topics such as insulin resistance, weight loss, stress and mood, brain function enhancement, and ADHD are just some of the topics covered.

In addition, I am very appreciative of the inclusion of the many illustrations of the body and systems that accompany the text.

In short, if you have ANY interest in health and essential oils, this book is ESSENTIAL, no pun intended!

This book gives a detailed description of how the nervous system works and how essential oils can be used to help modulate it. The author is a nutritionist and the founder of Deep Blue essential oils company. The book also has recipes to make the essential oil blends she recommends.
I am a nutritionist and the overview of the nervous system, the brain, the endocrine system and inflammation were very detailed. It might be almost too detailed for most lay people. The recipes were quite helpful, however.
I would have liked footnoted references for the text, instead there is just a detailed bibliography. This could be useful for a more advanced user of essential oils.
I received a complementary copy via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

This book was something else that I first expected. But in a good way. It is an in-depth read, scientifically explains effects that essential oils have on our body and nervous system.

There are many books about essential oils on the market, but this one offers us something new, and more than other books. I read quite a few books about essential oils, but here I learned something new. This book is not so much for beginner readers. I would recommend it to those who know a few things about the subject.

Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for the opportunity to read this! All opinions are my own.

*I received an eARC from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.*

As I was reading this, my husband glanced over, gave me <i>the look</i> and asked, "Are you highlighting whole pages again?" Why yes, yes I am. I gleaned so much from this book and left it riddled with highlights to return to later. I've been using essential oils since I was 18 and they've helped me through some pretty tough times in my life with my emotions and my body. I'm fascinated by the increasing evidence and knowledge we have on how they work and how we can use them more effectively. Even though I've read several oily books and researched quite a bit on PubMed & the like, this book had more to teach me! As this book centers on the brain, much of it relates to that, but there was also information on using oils to support various organs/systems of the body and even what oils could be helpful in breaking down biofilms or supporting proper glucose levels.

My only complaint would be that the information seemed quite scattered to me; it could have been better organized.

This book offers great info on using essential oils to heal the body. Detailed graphics, for instance, of where to apply the oils to feet or the ears to assist in different body parts. There are quizzes, steps to healing certain areas (such as digestion and even sleep!). The book is very eye-catching and well organized, with great information on essential oils and how they affect certain parts of our body, i.e. lavender and its relaxation properties. Highly recommended for any essential oil enthusiast or newbie.

I received an advance reader copy of this book to read in exchange for an honest review via netgalley and the publishers.

Essential oils to boost the brain and heal the body is a book jam packed with information on essential oils and how use of them can help with your mind and bodily functions.
There is so much information in this book and great detail is given for each area of the body e.g. weight loss, stress relief, brain function etc.
Some of the information went over my head because there was so much of it but this book would make a fantastic addition to anyones bookshelf who loves or has a keen interest in aromatherapy and natural remedies.

This book is chockful of information on essential oils and how they work on a biological level to affect your mood and health. I thought it was a very informative read and really enjoyed it! While I loved how comprehensive it was, I think that it would be a little bit dense for the average reader. This could be evaded, to some extant, by reading it in smaller bits at a time. What I disliked most was how redundant the writing was. I'm not sure if the author was so repetitive in an attempt to try and simplify information for the reader by repeating it or hoping that would help the reader remember better, but I found it really disorienting. I kept skimming back to see if I had actually just read that a few pages ago or if I ended up a few pages back somehow since some points were almost totally verbatim in a slightly different order. Thus, the book could have been condensed considerably. However, I still really enjoyed the content and the essential oil blends that were included. Additionally, unlike most books, you don't just get a list of oils with their uses, but the oils are woven into the content on how the brain and specific conditions are affected by them. It is not an exhaustive book on all essential oils, rather it covers oils that boost the brain and heal the body, as the title states, so I would use it as a companion to a more complete book that does include a list of oils and safety precautions, as this book does not contain them.
