Customer Reviews

Very good but misses some stuff.

This is indeed a very complete book of essential oils and aromatherapy! I've referenced it multiple times, and my only real complaint is that I wish it had a section on pet safety when it comes to essential oils. Such as, which oils are toxic to cats and dogs. I think that is important information and should have been included.

Hands down great book

A lot of useful essential oils I can help you on your journey recommend this book to anyone it was thinking about making her own colognes or oils

Absolutely essential reference for beginners and experienced practitioners!

I bought this book many years ago and it has stood the test of time. I still use it on an almost daily basis, and it is usually the first reference I will go to over the plethora of other books in my collection. It truly is worth more than a five star rating! Newbies and professionals alike should absolutely have this at hand - you just can't go wrong with this gem.

Awesome

This book is very helpful. It answered many questions for me & my friends. It is worth the money.

The First and The Best!

The first edition of this book came out in England in 1990 under the title The Fragrant Pharmacy. You only have to look at the contents and index to see it covers just about every aspect of aromatherapy, health and home. As a full-time professional aromatherapist it is my primary source of information, indeed, it is known "in the business" generally as "the bible of aromatherapy". I doubt there is an aromatherapist in the world who doesn't use this as their reference book, because it is profoundly practical - giving answers to questions you didn't think had any answers. Looking at the many books written after this, its clear where their ideas came from. If you want practical advice, with detailed recipies and instructions, whether just for home use or professionally, this is the book you need. Every recipie that I have used from this book proved safe, and works, and I wouldn't say that about any other book on the market. I also know for a fact of several vets who routinely use the information in the animal chapter to beneficial effect. Check out her other titles, and you'll see this woman writes in depth - Fragrant Mind, Fragrant Heavens, Aromatherapy for the Healthy Child, Aromatherapy for the Beauty Therapist,and Aromantics (also known as Scents and Scentsuality). Worwood has done research on aromatherapy, and was once Chair of the Research Committee of the International Federation of Aromatherapists. She knows what she is talking about, having been a working clinical aromatherapist for years. In the aromatherapy world she has the highest respect because without her, well, what would there be ...?

indispensable!

This is the most practical aromatherapy book ever! I've finally found a book that gives actual formulas for all kinds of everyday health problems, plus others for serious health conditions I didn't expect to find in it. Every formula we (my friends and family) have tried works! It's like having your very own health care specialist on hand, and its become indispensable. And it's written like a friend talking to you. As well as all that, there are whole chapters on pets, gardening, cooking, children, babies, elderly, the home, work-related problems etc etc etc. This book has totally changed my life!!- and I feel FANTASTIC about it. What this book is not - a boring catalogue of details about essential oils, with no practical advice. This is the book for everybody. You'll wonder how you lived without it. It's given me control of my life. Feel stressed? Just look it up, put the oils in the bath and - hey presto - no more stress! A WONDERFUL LIFE-CHANGER!!
