This is an excellent book especially for beginners. I say that because the book addresses the use of essential oils for the ailments that bother us on a day-to-day basis. I own a shop dealing with aromatherapy, and the most common questions we get are related to specific ailments and essential oils that might be of benefit. This is the book we most often recommend.

this is an excellent book for the begining aromatherapist. the book covers the uses of the most common essetial oils and gives detailed profiles on them.The pictures are awesome. Simple blends are given for everyday ailments such as , headaches, stomach problems, menstrual discomfort, and basic first aid. The text is clear and concise.

This book is a great quick reference if you enjoy aromatherapy and wish to use it as an alternative medice to aid the aleviation of physical (and mental) ailments. It provides great overviews of the plants and their uses.

I have been practicing, teaching and selling aromatherapy for ten years. As such, I have many books on aromatherapy. This one is unique. I purchased AROMATHERAPY FOR COMMON AILMENTS for the full page, breath taking photographs of 13 essential oil plants. But - it is much more. Illnesses and ways to heal these illnesses with essential oils are discussed. Massage techniques are illustrated and explained. Safety guidelines are outlined. Recipes for blends are given. This is a good book for the beginning aromatherapist. It can also be useful to the more advanced person. Shirley Price is a professional, practicing aromatherapist. Her love and respect for the profession shines through-out this text. Highly recommend!
