PERFECT FOR THE BEGINNER

| This is the first book I bought when starting to use essential oils. It's perfect for a beginner! It has more than enough recipes for everyday uses for a person to start out with. Once I started using my oils and the recipes in this book, I began developing a better sense of what I liked and what oils went together better. The only thing it needed is a better list of substitution oils for more expensive ones. GREAT TO OWN if you are just starting out in the wonderful world of aromatherapy! |
Very Easy to Understand

| I purchased this book through another company which sold bottles for my new aromatherapy business. I refer to it with each and every customer who seeks information on my essential oils. I previously only sold perfume oils, but now I'm finding a boom in sales of the "real deal". I simply use the reference section to 'cure what ails you' and let the customer blend their own concoction. So Simple, Its Fantastic! I plan to buy more copies to replace my oil stained, and dog eared one. If you are new to the world of fragrance, Cedarvale has excellent products to use with this book. Peace |
finally!!!!!!! a plain and simple oil recipe book!!!!!!

there are heaps of books about aromatherapy, history, explanations.....etc. and if you are reading this then like me, you have at least one already. but sometimes you just want a quick and sinple blend without reading through 100 pages first for a relaxing bath, to help you fall asleep,to make your house smell nice or keep your guests from snoring even.....this book is it!!!! all recipes,every page, no frills. straightforward, quick and simple. the best!!! |
Excellent Book for those who are new to aromatherapy.

| This book is excellent for those of us who are new to the concept of aromatherapy. It explains the essential oils, how to blend them, what to blend them with, and what the cautions are of the oils. Many formulas are also given for bath oils, massage oil blends, and even household helpers. |
What I Was Looking For!!!

| I for one do my homework before I buy a book. What I wanted was a book of recipes for beginners in aromatherapy and that's what I got. For those who rate this a 3 or lower you probably didn't do your homework. There are a lot of books which can be more helpful for what you need/want but this particular book was one that a lot of us needed. My criticism is not for the book but for some of the reviewers who think every book they buy will automatically fill their needs. DO YOUR HOMEWORK!!! |
