Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review
This brisk tour of essential oils (or concentrated plant essences) and explores their many applications and uses. Author Susan Worwood begins with a brief history of oils and aromatherapy, which describes how the practice of aromatherapy shifted from having New Age connotations to being accepted in popular culture. The reader then learns how essential oils work--from their antibiotic, antiviral, and antifungal properties to their mind/body/spiritual connection. The guide provides tips on buying and storing oils and includes useful one-page profiles of the plants that produce the oils, from basil to yuzu. The book's exhaustive "how to use" list describes how to make face masks, foot baths, gargles, diffusers, and more. The list also teaches us that there are inexpensive, natural treatments for many common maladies.This book offers a great crash course in essential oils and aromatherapy is a useful reference handbook. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent resource for aromatherapy beginners., February 4, 1998
By A Customer
This book clearly outlines many essential oils, their sources and recommended uses. There is also an invaluable section listing common ailments and which essential oils are best used to treat them. This was the first aromatherapy book I ever purchased, and I still refer to it often.

5.0 out of 5 stars If you get only one book on aromatherapy, get this one!, June 24, 1999
By A Customer
I have a number of aromatherapy books, but this one is my favorite. It's a small book but it contains all the practical knowledge you need to know to practice good aromatherapy. I have found it invaluable and highly recommend it.

4.0 out of 5 stars good for reference, but you may already have this info, March 30, 2007
This book is a small reference book. If you already own other books by Susan Worwood, you probably have this information already. If you want something portable, buy this book. If not, save your money and read what you already own.
