Aromatherapy, as an alternative healing method, has always been of interest to me. In the past, most of the books I have read on the subject have been too technical, boring or the author did not write about this subject in a way that was easily understood by his readers. That all changed once I picked up Deborah Eidson's new book titled Vibrational Healing: Revealing The Essence Of Nature Through Aromatherapy's Use Of Essential Oils. Her book arrived in the mail a few days ago and I didn't have a chance to read it until today. This morning, after I woke up, I noticed I was feeling mentally congested and my breathing was labored for no apparent reason. I decided to see what essential oils I had available in my collection that would relieve my congestion. I was intuitively drawn to my peppermint oil although I did not know why. After I had the opportunity to use the oil for a few minutes, I decided to read Ms. Eidson's book and find out what she had to say about it. Everything she wrote about peppermint oil rang true for me. It validated what I was experiencing and explained why the oil gave me instantaneously relief. Ms. Eidson's writing style is concise and compelling. Her book is very well organized and passionately written. Deborah's background and knowledge in the field of aromatherapy, in my opinion, is second to none. The wisdom she shares in her book about "essentials oils" is a must read for anyone who is into alternative methods of healing. The information she shares with her readers is safe, sound and practical. In her book, Ms. Eidson explains the use of each "essential oil" in great detail. She also provides a glossary, for some of the words she uses in her book, so her readers will clearly understand the message she is conveying to them. Most importantly, what she shares with her readers about essential oils and spiritual principles, works! I can not recommend her book highly enough.

Deborah's book has been a mainstay in my healing practice for quite a few years; for myself and others. I am very grateful to her for bringing this book to life so that we may all benefit from the information and wisdom it contains, not only on essential oils but also on energy systems of the body, dowsing, intuition, healing, and other tidbits paramount to health. Thank you Deborah!

For years I have been hearing about aromatherapy but very little how-to or what works and why. I am delighted to finally find a book that includes answers to questions I had in a format that is easy to access. I have begun using some of the techniques Ms. Eidson relates in her book and have seen some amazing transformations in my life and in my family's. These changes range from direct health benefits to healing parts of my past I thought were forever to haunt me. My gratitude to Ms Eidson for getting into print such valuable information.

This book has been an incredible tool for me to use as a reference. I have intuitively picked an essence or a combination of essences in the past, however, now I have a great set of information that provides a description of the oils and directions for releasing blocked energies. This validates my intuition and provides clarification on the mental level of these choices. I have also discerned that this book has many layers of information which provides guidance for the professional healer as well as the beginner.

This book is more than I expected and it simply fantastic! What I was hoping for and expecting was a book that would outline the vibrational healing qualities of various plants and herbs and so forth. However it also contains beautifully drawn diagrams that illustrate meridian points and chakras, and she goes into energy healing theory and applicable healing practices such as reflexology and essential oil baths and so forth. This book is a treasure! I love it!

In spite of her substantial bibliography I can't understand where Eidson got some her information. Her vibrational conclusions have nothing to do really, with the functions of many of the oil themselves or their history. It has been my experience, so far, that any oil supports it's healing function from the most basic physical levels to the deeper and more subtle purposes. Edison entirely skips the history and physical uses of each oil, missing the chance to dove tail all the information into a more comprehensive bundle. I don't know if she thought that the conventional stuff had already been done or that none of it was germane. Now later, I may be proven wrong as I learn more, but then there's the matter of the price. This is way too expensive given that the information may be personal to just Eidson. I was really disappointed. A much better value though he only covers 37 oils is Gabriel Mojay's "Healing the Spirit."

In an earlier review, Astat wondered about Deborah's vibrational conclusions. This struck a cord for me as well. As presented, the conclusions seemed somewhat arbitrary.

Even though the subject is vibrational healing perhaps there is still a need for presenting some mundane information to create a sense of connection or continuity?

I did not strongly identify with all the interpretations, wanted a little more wooing down the path that Deborah trod.

this is an exceptional valuable book,it tells one about the spirituell part of different plants and how to use its essential oils for its deep healing powers in the human body,be it emotional,spiritual or physical nature.You will love this book!
