Very informative little book. It is small (height) but it makes up for it in the mass of information it has within it's pages. The Little Giant Encyclopedia of Aromatherapy is a wonderful little book to have, and so easy to toss in your purse for extended reading while waiting at the Doctors office or at the kids baseball games.. :) We found it to be really well written, very informative, and easy to read. It contains so much on aromatherapy that you almost don't need to buy any other books.

The recipes in this book are careless at best. The amounts of essential oils recommended in comparison to base oils are extremely excessive. And the pet formulas are even more horrifying, especially when you take into consideration the sensitivity of an animal's skin. I have been studying herbs and oils for 8 years now, and I know that a true essential oil is a concentrated form of a plants essence. That means it takes VERY LITTLE essential oil to accomplish a lot. The waste encouraged by these recipes is only one thing to be worried about. I'd be afraid to recommend any recipe in this book as is. I'd personally say PLEASE, FOR YOUR OWN GOOD- just avoid this book. It's safer for everyone that way.

I would like to mention one other thing. I only paid $1.50 (+ $4 for s&h)and just recently got this book from this very website so some of the recent prices I've seen listed must be some kind of sick joke.

I refer to this book when I am looking for a recipe quickly. It is small, well laid out,and some great recipes, I have studyed aromatherapy for 3 years, yet sometimes don't have time to make my own blend so I will use this book, and a few others. Great book,information is mostly recipes which is great.

ok well apparantly the first feedback i left was a neutral feedback. my mistake. This book may be small but its very informative, some of the E.O's are hard to come by or even hard to find, but i found the recipes to be very useful, there are a few that i am going to try out. I recieved the book well within the date it was supposed to arrive very fast delivery.
