Great book for humans, can be deadly for pets. by Prometheus Lass (Lost in a remote cornfield somewhere in the midwest)  3 Stars
November 06, 2009
Warning: Before I start this review, everyone who reads this book must know that her advice on pets and essential oils is wrong. Dogs and cats cannot process the chemicals in essential oils and so it is such a strong poison to them, that it can kill them. I would have given this book four stars if she hadn't included that section.
With that said, this book is a good book for essential oil beginners, of which I am one. There is a lot of preamble based on how to use them, how to recognize quality essential oils, and their uses. Users who are very familiar with essential oil usage and are looking for something without a lot of background information that contains mostly blends and suggestions might not be as happy with this book.
What I particularly like about this book, is that she lays out 10 basic oils from which many blends can be made. This is very good for those of us who don't have hundreds of dollars to spend on creating a huge kit of essential oils. As you go, you can start adding oils that you particularly like or need to the basic ten, but the basic ten are pretty affordable.
The book contains a handy quick reference near the beginning for common ailments, has chapters with blends for many health issues, children's health, women's health, men's health, perfumery, beauty, cleaning, and creating pleasant aromas for your house.
I think that most people (especially beginners) will have the best experience with this book and their blends if they are very circumspect about making sure that they are truly using therapeutic grade essential oil, and since essential oils aren't regulated, this can be difficult because there are many companies on the market that claim they sell therapeutic grade oil, but actually dilute it in a carrier base, or use a combination of ingredients that smell the same, but aren't really the true product. Thankfully, Worwood provides not only a detailed explanation of how to test for purity of product, but also provides a list of essential oil companies that she as a practitioner has found to be trustworthy.
The main drawback of this book is its section on pets. As I stated in the warning, it is critically important that you not use essential oils on pets. However, with this caveat I can recommend this is a great book for essential oil beginners.

The best aromatherapy and essentials reference I have ever purchased- has a specific section for blends and properties as they relate to pets. Would recommend this book for anyone who practices.

I Love this book by Ana (Los Angeles, CA United States) 5 Stars
September 23, 2009
I'm new to essential/oils aromatherapy and after a bit of online reading I decided I needed to order a book with more details and recipes. As a self teaching kinda girl, I've learned to be very selective in looking for books so that I don't end up spending a fortune on many books when I could have looked a bit further and just found one.
This book has a ton of information, is logically laid out and I think it is a good choice for a beginner because the author seems to touch on all aspects of the subject giving you a good idea of the full scope of the craft.
I'm pleased with my purchase and would recommend this title to any newbie, or someone who just wants to study for themselves and family. Two remedies that I'm using from the book have helped me immensely and well worth the price of it to me. One for dry eyes (a great relief for my computer worn eyes) and a humidifier blend for my lungs (have congestion issues)
Hope this helps!
