Very, very informative by Debbie (Alpena, AR United States)  5 Stars
November 21, 2009
In my opinion, anyone who wants to mix their own essential oils (rather than buy pre-mixed oils or follow proven recipes) needs to read "Advanced Aromatherapy" in order to safely do so. The book explains the science behind why the essential oils work the way they do and provides the results of scientific studies that show which oils are most effective at doing certain actions.
This book helps the reader to understand: why various essential oils act on the human body the way they do. Why some essential oils, when combined, are more powerful than when used alone and how to select oils to create this effect. Why different chemotypes of the same essential oil can have different effects. Which oils are safe to use daily and long term and which should be limited in amount used, duration used, or how they are administered. Which oils are safe to take orally or to use on sensitive skin like mucus membranes. Which medical conditions essential oils are very successful at treating and which conditions are less so or which require long-term use to create improvement. And much more.
The book also contains a section covering various medical conditions (from the 'flu to bruises and scrapes) and gives recipes for which oils to use to treat these conditions and how to most effectively administer the oils.
I found the book easy to read and understand, and I refer back to it frequently. Readers with little science education might be a little overwhelmed at times, though. Overall, I'd highly recommend this book to those interested in aromatherapy, especially those interested in the medical uses of essential oils.

Great Information for the Novice Oiler by E. S. Blauer (Central MN) 5 Stars
October 21, 2009
I love this book. It is full of the information I was missing as an essential oil user. It gives the scientific background without being too technical, in an easy-to-read manner. If you want to go beyond "wow, essential oils are cool and they work" into WHY and HOW, this is a good choice.

Facinating Book by R. Pettit (Virginia) 5 Stars
October 18, 2009
This book is so interesting. The author breaks essential oils down to the molecular level. Absolutely fascinating!! A lot of people that I have spoken with don't believe in the benefits of e.o.'s. I now have a great reference to help others understand eo's a bit better.

Great book by a well known teacher by JK (Santa Cruz, CA USA) 5 Stars
January 19, 2009
Even the person who taught the essential oil class I took spoke very highly of Dr. Schnaubelt and, after purchasing this book, I know why. This book touches on most aspects of essental oils in a manner that even a beginner can understand. It is well written and gives you a great understanding of how essential oils work. As a result of reading this book, I hope to take some of Dr. Schnaulbelt's correspondence classes in the very near future.
