Describes the history, characteristics and uses of more than seventy essential oils, discusses how plant essences can beautify, cleanse and heal the body, and looks at the olfactory system.
I’m really liking this so far. It was awful to find out that taking essential oils internally was very dangerous, especially since I’ve been doing that ever since I got into oils. So let’s just say this has helped me out quite a bit.

This book is full of helpful information. I look at it frequently to mix my essential oil blends. Essential oil information can differ depending on the author but this book seems to be spot on for cause and effect.

Useful, good intro to aromatherapy chamistry. Get another more "poetic" book to go with this one, for a balanced introduction.
easy to read; comprehensive; a little difficult to follow

Marcel Lavabre uses lay-person's language to explain and educate the reader about the basic and the chemical world of essental oils. I have a heightened appreciation for these chemicals as well as a greater understanding of how they work, and how to make use of them in my business. I do find it a little difficult to locate the specific application of an oil in the many tables that are offered, but the information seems to be fairly comprehensive.
