5.0 out of 5 stars This is a wonderful book!, January 25, 2003

This review is from: Releasing Emotional Patterns with Essential Oils (Paperback)

I have used this book for self-healing and was amazed at how insightful the material is, how accurate the correlations are between our individual temperaments and ailments we have, and the detailed charts that show how to release pain and heal emotional wounds. I know others who have used this material successfully as well. Using essential oils on a few trigger points is an excellent way to heal deep trauma and old patterns in only a few weeks, rather than months or even years of other therapies. The only caution I would suggest is to make sure the essential oils used are of the very highest quality, organically grown, carefully processed with no additives or adulteration. As far as the issue of using oils neat, this is not a book of full body massage but putting them on acupuncture points. Some oils like Oregano or Clove might be 'hot' to use neat but I have used numerous oils neat for years with no problem at all. We all have to pay attention to our biochemistry. This book also has one of the best descriptions of kinesiology (muscle testing) I have ever seen. Everyone can always test to find out which oils work for them and how much or how often to apply them.

5.0 out of 5 stars safety with essential oils, April 29, 2002

This review is from: Releasing Emotional Patterns with Essential Oils (Paperback)

I have read Dr. Carolyn Mein's book. In her book on page 47, she clearly states that the essential oils can be diluted with vegetable oil, and to use caution. She has also written that the oils can be used effectively with no application by smell only. This book is an excelent achievement on the emotional application of essential oils. Please don't let someones lack of competence, and understanding deter from this book, or the use of essential oils.

5.0 out of 5 stars REBUTTAL to both reviews [...], January 3, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Releasing Emotional Patterns with Essential Oils (Paperback)

The oil sensitivity and photosensitivity issues are both addressed on page 47 of this book. Directions for dilution of oils or just smelling the oil instead of applying it are also discussed on the same page.
I found this book very valuable and helpful both on procedure and specific emotional healings as well as on progressions of healing other emotions related to emotional core issues and suggestions for writing and other clearing methods.
The author is very clear about her high regard for both Gary Young and the oils his Young Living company produces and sells.
