Finally there is a book on Aromatherapy that is easy to read and easy to follow. With one page references on cautions, properties and blending for example, you will always feel confident to use essential oils in your daily life no matter what the reason. You almost feel as though the authors are speaking to you in your own lounge. There are heaps of tips and ideas from lovers and romance through to pregnancy, your mental and physical wellbeing, the workplace, skin and hair care and heaps more. 40 essential oils are discussed at length giving you all the information you need to understand the ancient healing art of aromatherapy. Even if you are the most avid aromatherapy user you will find this book helpful! Whilst essential oils are the tool the authors focus on, this is more than an aromatherapy book as there are so many other interesting and important points on health and self care for women.
The photography throughout this book also makes it rather special. With over 50 images of 'real' women (friends and family of the authors - they insisted no models were used!) the effect is evocative and beautiful. They break up the text, again making it very easy to read. This is an excellent gift for women of all ages.
Having met the authors and attended one of their workshops I can vouch for their sincerity, their humour and their incredible ability to hold audience attention. They are so passionate and absolutely fantastic speakers. I highly recommend this book and believe every woman in the world should have a copy!

This is definitely one of my fav books on aromatherapy. Lots of information about essential oils, exercise, nutrition and self care are covered here. The authors present 40 different essential oils including the all popular lavender, chamomile and orange oils. I find this a very calming book for me reminding me that I need to slow down and relax. A bunch of aromatherapy tips and recipes are given making it a good book for the beginner starting aromatherapy and the expert. Very easy and enjoyable to read without getting technical. I will be referring to this one often.
