Aromatherapy, Blends and Remedies

Of the many superb books that I have and use on Essential oils, this is the one I reach for the most. It's thorough, consise and accurate accounts of each oil give me a qick and profound reminder of the information I need for professional use or at home. I adore this book and always recommend it to my students and customers for beginners or advanced levels. Whether it's the first or last book you'll buy on Aromatherapy I know it will be a valuable manuscript for you.

I've been reading a lot about using aromatherapy and essential oils. I've also read about herbs and their benifits. Out of all the books I've aquired, this one is always in arms length. I use this book all the time and refer to it at least once a day. I like how she explains various tecniques on how to use the oils, along with a instruction of how to give good massages. She has easy to use recipies that are not only easy to make, but fun. There are sections just for men and sections for women, including a section primarily on pregnancy. She breaks down each oil, telling what uses it has and how it affects certain areas of the body. This is all around a great book.

Beginners rush order this book. I just received my 5th books on this subject and found this book by far the best of all of them. Franzesca writes for the beginner and for those who have years in the field. I especially like the way she explains mixing oils. For example other books use per cents and ml but Franzesca goes further and gives drop amounts. This is very helpful for the novice. This is a book you will continually refer back to. Thank Franzesca.

After studying aromatherapy for about a year, I decided to expand my library on the subject. On receiving this book and several other similar titles, it soon became clear to me that this was the one to have. Franzesca writes in a way that even a novice like myself can understand. I now find myself referring to this book almost daily.

If you are a beginner you will learn how to use essential oils safley, this is a must for any responsible Aromatherapy publication. It also has a great section on the body systems eg: Digestive systems and relevant oils. You can cross refrence this with the Directory of 60 Essential oils. My favourite part is part three, here you can find over 800 recipes for anything from Footcramp to Procrastination. This isn't just invaluable to the beginner, sometimes it can be hard to decide which oils to choose when any of maybe ten or more will do, and what the ratio should be for a blend. I keep going back to this book to take the guess work out of all of my aromatherapy blending.
