Customer Reviews

Just so you know
As someone who has only recently gotten interested in Aromatherapy, I found this book to be most educational. But just so you know, this book is the same book as Valerie Gennari Cooksley's Aromatherapy: A Lifetime Guide to Healing With Essential Oils. It just has a new cover, a slightly different name and an updated sources list. Ms. Cooksley is a registered nurse and writes with quite a bit of knowledge about her subject. Where essential oils come from, how they affect the different systems of the body, various and assorted formulas for making healing blends, several case studies, and a brief description of several of the more essential of essential oils. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and found it to be a title that will be quite useful for years to come.

This book is great for beginners
This was the first book I puchased on aromatherapy, and I must say that it is the best book I have read!!! Not only does she include recipes, she also includes the essential oil reference guide, which is my favorite part, because she gives you a breakdown of not only the origin name, but what the physical and the psycho-emotional benefits are to the essential oils. She also gives you a headstart on how to make your own formulas, by including a blending chart. Please pick up this book, if not any other book.

Oil on the pages, herbs stuck in the binding...
...this book has been abused, beaten and much loved. As someone who loves working with oils, essences, herbs and the like, I have to say this book is among my top two! Whenver a healing blend is needed, I find myself reaching for this book first. The easy language makes it accessible even to my partner, who barely dabbles in these things. The herbal tea blends included are phenomenal. The blends translate well to massage oils, room scenting oils, soaps and candles, you name it!

If you a a magical person looking to get into blending, put this volume next to your Cunningham!
