I just received this book. I have been a "Therapeutic Grade Essential Oil Distributor" for years. I ordered this book because what I liked about it is that not only does it tell you about each oil, it tells you how to use it, where to use it, and the biggie... it tells you which other oils the oil you are reading about can be mixed with. I hate to say it, but there are not a lot of books out there on essential oils that make it so easy for the beginner to get the total picture in one book. This book has it all. I ordered this book so that I can hand it out to customers who tell me that they know little about essential oils. This is a cute little book that will appeal to anyone interested in getting into essential oils. It is a very easy read and very informative. Very pleased with this purchase.

I was looking for a book on essential oils and how to blend them properly. This book talks about all the healing properties of each oil and talks about how to use them together. It's easy to use and is well worth the money if you are into aromatherapy.
