Product Description
Product Description
Whether through massage, a hot aromatherapy bath or a cooling compress, essential oils can bring life-enhancing benefits to everyone. In this stunning addition to the "Essential Handbook" series we learn how to incorporate them into our lives. The first section of "The Essential Oils Handbook" describes how the oils are extracted from plants, evocatively explains how they have been used traditionally in different cultures, and guides the reader in the best ways to integrate them safely and effectively into their daily routine. This is followed by an invaluable directory of 100 oils, each complemented by a full-colour photograph of the plant from which the oil is made.Every information-packed entry offers examples of how you can use the oil to benefit both mind and body, whether massaging sore muscles with rosemary oil or adding ylang ylang oil to a bath to calm your mind. For each oil, key points are highlighted to provide essential information and fascinating facts at a glance. Authoritative yet accessible, this book will delight anyone who wants to use oils to enhance their well-being, or who simply takes great pleasure in these complex, alluring fragrances.

There are a lot of oils covered in this book but many of them are rare and unusual. Some common oils are missing as well so this is by no means a definitive guide. The information about each oil is quite generalised; you are better off looking on the internet if you want information. I was quite disappointed with this, however, it is useful if you want to look oils up by category, e.g 'easy breathers' are the oils that help with the respiratory system. I don't think I will use this one that often.

Handy little book for a beginner like me although there are some oils which are not included.

I think it's a great handbook, it's colourful and delightful to the eye. The only think I don't like is the organization by use of each essential oil because in fact most of them are useful for different things.
