4.0 out of 5 stars
easy to read; comprehensive; a little difficult to follow,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Aromatherapy Workbook (Paperback)
Marcel Lavabre uses lay-person's language to explain and educate the reader about the basic and the chemical world of essental oils. I have a heightened appreciation for these chemicals as well as a greater understanding of how they work, and how to make use of them in my business. I do find it a little difficult to locate the specific application of an oil in the many tables that are offered, but the information seems to be fairly comprehensive.

This review is from: Aromatherapy Workbook (Paperback)
This book is full of helpful information. I look at it frequently to mix my essential oil blends. Essential oil information can differ depending on the author but this book seems to be spot on for cause and effect.

This review is from: Aromatherapy Workbook (Paperback)
I can't seem to put this book down for long. It contains a wealth of information. I really like the way the book is laid out. It is full of valuable information and (thankfully) lacking the fluffy fillers.
