The Encyclopedia of Aromatherapy

"The Encyclopedia of Aromatherapy" is a great resource. The author is very thorough. Book is categorized by system. Ie., Nervous system, digestion system, etc. There is much more to this book than most aromatherapy books, which focus solely on the aspect of essential oils. The book is very holistic in fact. Covers ailments, cause, and recommendations (Not only essential oils, but herbs and diet as well). Massage chapter is one of the best I've seen. This book is great for beginner and advanced user alike. Great reference. Definitely worth buying 'New'!

I gave five stars here because I am an absolute beginner to this stuff and so any information would be useful to me. Getting a more refined review from someone who knows the 'ins and outs' of the subject would be well worth the research. For me, this book has way more information past a beginner's needs; I welcome the extra information though. So I am good to go!

Very good book and definitely worthwile to purchase. It has many topics for uses of aromatherapy and herbal remedies. She packs lots of useful information and it is well organized. She shows how to make perfumes, massage oils, herbal remedies for people and animals, some beauty formulas for hair and skin, also a whole section on essential oils with uses and cautions. You won't regret buying this book.

When I got this book and started looking through it, I was so happy. It has so much information and recipes in it that will help not only yourself but also everyone that you know. A must have and I keep it super close to me whenever I need to look someting up.

Great book with tons of information for those who are venturing into the world of essential oils. I highly reccomend getting this book if you are trying to mix your own oils for at home use.

Still reading is a lot to read that has a lot of information in it very good book. Very informative. And thorough. Got this book to help with pain management. Hopefully it will work

This is a great resource for aromatherapy. First found the book at my library and decided I wanted my own copy.

This book has it all....in good detail. My favorite sections are part 2,3,&4. I will be referencing quite often. I highly recommend it for the people who are serious about Aromatherapy.

I have dipped into this book time and time again. It holds so much interesting & useful information. In particular, I use the 'guide to the aromatic profiles' chapter. It tells you everything you need to know about each oil, and what oils to blend together. Without it I would never have discovered the wonder of sweet fennel and geranium. Thank you Chrissie - a true goddess of aromatherapy.

Everything about aromatherapy in detail is written....only thing i expected and is not there in the book is pictures of the essential flowers used .otherwise good

Yes I have used it before

you will never need another aromatherapy book if you have this one!!!! ten times the info. that was in my certification course. this book is like taking a master's degree in aromatherapy.

We have a very old copy of this book and bought this as a gift. The paper is better quality than our copy and the pages are a larger size, making it a slimmer volume than it used to be. A good all round guide to aromatherapy.
