This book on aromatherapy and its effects is very informative as well as enjoyable. You'll learn so much about what different oils can be helpful for a variety of conditions. It also gives advice on massaging and health. WELL WORTH IT-especially for aromatherapy lovers who aren't sure how to get started with creating scents and mixing essential oils.

This is the best book I've read on aromatherapy. Colorful, refreshing and very informative. An easy read, has good recipes. I bought another one for a friend so I didn't have to give up mine!

Beautifully presented and written. Highly recommende

Written in a contemporary style for ease of reading, this book immediately appeals through its intimately pocketed text, colourful fonts and superb graphics. Black and white photography add to the feeling of intimacy and mood. Title pages or those containing statements, quotes and key points are coloured for impact without "shouting". Visual analysis aside, the text is concise, accurate and well researched without being too technical. It's almost like the author is chatting to you about the whole concept of Aromatherapy over several large cups of coffee. Each chapter discusses its subject in detail without being too "heavy", successfully keeping the lay-reader interested. Chapter 3 examines 30 individual essential oils, has accompanying pictures of each plant/seed so the reader can make a visual connection with the origin. The descriptive text creatively flows in various shapes rather than just plain left to right over the whole page. Also discussed are the merits of various carrier oils with accompanying graphics, enabling the reader to make a reasonably informed choice when purchasing for themselves. A great coffee table/guest-room book, and also a wonderful addition to the dedicated user's library.

I feel that this book is a perfect treat for the ( i must say attention deficit, as I am a member).

The visual pictures keep the reader interested, as well as the wonderful history of perfumery! The visual text is modern, creative, colorful, and definitely has interest for every kind of reader, not to mention those who love or are interested in Aromatherapy!! I love the use of the shapes, photography, print, texture of the pages, as well as cover, and the content. It is very informative, gives Recipes and More!~Recipes for everything from bathing, to skin brushing. If you love Aromatherapy, color, and appreciate design elements, you will love this book-It is a piece of ART.

Finally a well written and superbly illustrated book. The perfect reference manual for anybody interested in natural health

This is not the standard boring looking aromatheraphy book you've come to expect on this subject matter. Not only is it visually exciting, but the text reads like a magazine, and informs like a text book. The oil recipes are the best I've seen.

This book has great content and beautiful picture, but no one has come out and mentioned that it does have nude photos in it. They are tastefully done, but since I purchased this for my office, and I have a very conservative clientel, this book would not be appropriate. So, I am dissappointed. I wouldn't have purchased it had I know. So beware. It really depends on what you want it for.

It is the best book on Aromatherapy I have seen. I could not put it down. Fantastic information and pictures. Thank you Nikki Goldstein.....

This book has everything! Great pictures, great recipies, wonderful words. I would give it to all my friends.
