It contains a history of eseential oils, methods of extraction, use of essential oils to assist various conditions, and a section at the back that acts as a reference to essential oils.
The books is well laid out, very easy to read, and can be used as either a text book, or a book to read for pure enjoyment.
If you are a professional therapist then you need to get this along with the Essential Oil Encyclopaedia.
BUT...this book is just perfect. It's got all the information you could possibly want for home use and it is beautifully illustrated with everything from pictures of the plants and oils to how to give yourself and others a massage. There are facinating chapters on the history of Aromatherapy, home remedies, massage, the plants and oils, and loads more. The book covers 65 of the most popular and widely available oils. All nicely illustrated and described with added information such as safety data, aromatherapy use, extraction etc. I purchased this book along with it's accompanying guide "The Illustrated Encyclopedia Of Essential Oils", also by Julia Lawless, which is equally as good as this one. But, if you only wanted to buy one book for general home use then I recommend this one. You can't go wrong with this book. It's a great read and it's very well laid out for quick reference use. Definately a very valued addition to my book shelf.
