Complete Book of Essential Oils and Aromatherapy : Over 600 Natural, Non-Toxic and Fragrant Recipes to Create Health, Beauty, a Safe Home Environment by Valerie Ann Worwood (1993, Trade Paperback)

this really is theraputic

I got this book for a specific project, but after reading into it I became hooked on essential oils. These aromas are really powerful for mood elevation and the oils are not only for the scents, but can be healing (theraputic). Essential oils have a great history and many of the old uses are still viable today. How interesting to research these remedies and try the concoctions now!Read full review

It Is Ok

It has a lot of great information, but it is not what I expected. I was hoping to be able to look up, for example, strep throat, and it would have the oils to use, how to use, where to apply and reason why each of these oils was good for this specific illness.

With 4 children, I bought this book to help me with their specific common illnesses that children get. As it happens, a few days after I got this book, one of my children got sick. I looked up several things in this book to help heal my child, either, it wasnt in there or gave very little info or was too general.

This is not for a mother looking to help her children.Read full review

Great Book

Have several essential oil books and this is by far the best. Good content and helps you understand the different ways each oil can be used. This book is great for the uninformed as well as the person that thoroughly understands the many uses of essential oils. Really have enjoyed reading it.Read full review

A big disappointment

When I bought this I was very excited but after reading through it and looking at some of the antiquated information, I found it wasn't at all what I needed or expected. Then I looked at the publishing date and saw it was back in 1991. The PC computer wasn't even invented yet and the cell phone was about as big as a radio hand set in the car console. The medical terms used are: Chilblains for cold feer and Lumbago for chronic back pain. These are words that describe what Michael Angelo suffered while painting the Cystine Chapel. I rolled my eyes and chucked the book. There are a few pages out of nearly 400 that have some good oil info but I could have found that on the internet for free. I don't recommend it to anyone who is serious about Essential Oils unless you want a to have a computer and a dictionary close at hand for the really old terminology and some useful EO information. It was a waste of $8.00.Read full review
