5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent and complete, April 7, 2000

By	"soufy" (Rock Island) - See all my reviews

This book is astoundingly thorough and complete. I cannot say enough good things about it. It covers just about every childhood ailment you can think of, and ways to treat it with aromatherapy. And not just the typical massage oils and room scents. This book goes into hydrasols, essential oil waters, and the best carrier oils to use on kids. It covers every single thing you need to know to start using essential oils on your child. Not only that, it has dietary recommendations, mental health blends for the kids, and just good advice in general. It has a wonderful A to Z section of ailments that includes detailed explanation of the symptoms, cause, and treatment. This book is just great. It even has a small section on kids who have special needs. Everything is detailed perfectly. The layout is easy to follow and conditions or informaton can be swiftly looked up. If you have kids, you really should get this book. It is so informative and easy to read. I just can't say enough good things about this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Healing Power of Nature, November 6, 2000

By	Christina M. Silveira (Guttenberg, IA) - See all my reviews

This book is an indispensable guide for every parent who thinks pro-actively about their children's long-term physical and mental health. Powerful, yet safe, aromatherapy is a sound way to treat everything from influenza to sunburn in children. Many complaints such as aches and coughs that might otherwise have to wait for a visit to the doctor can be addressed immediately at home, using the healing power of nature.

By A Customer

If you buy this book you will for sure get your monies worth. It is a great book for those of us who are a littel worried about making suggestion to parents for using aromatherapy on their children. If you are new to aromatherapy be sure to include this book in your library. It won't stay on the shelf long; you will read it many times over. Great book. Buy it you won't be sorry.
