5.0 out of 5 stars Very informative, straight forward and easy to understand., 20 May 2001
By Ms. A. J. Hayward "Amanda-Jane" (ENGLAND) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is the first book of Aromatherapy I bought. Since then I have purchased many more books on the subject but I keep referring back to this one as it is consistant, informative and easy to understand.

It covers everything from childbirth to old age, listing aromatherapy solutions to countless conditions (even hiatus hernia). It also covers beauty treatments for all ages and cooking.

A must for the beginner to the advanced.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent reference, though a bit dated, 13 April 2005
An excellent resource, with formulas for everything from headaches to insomnia, gardening to laundry. This book provides solutions to almost anything you could think of.

The only problem is that the book was published some 15 years ago, and as a result, a lot of safety information is out of date. For instance, she recommends using high doses of nutmeg oil continuously for weeks on end as a cure to poor circulation, whereas more recently published books say that using nutmeg oil over long periods of time causes mental and nervous disturbances. She also recommends the use of some oils (such as sage) that have now been discovered to be toxic and consequently are not recommended for use anymore. Her dilutions are also usually higher than the recommended 3%.

Having said that though, the book is very useful, provided the lay reader (that's most of us) doesn't use it as a stand-alone, i.e. buy a book which has been revised within this decade and look up each oil she recommends and check safety precautions before deciding whether it would be safe for you to use that oil at home.
