Even though I like biochemistry, it's been a while and this book was a little too technical in some chapters. This author agrees with taking essential oils internally. I don't think I plan to use oils that way, but he gives a lot of good information not found in other books. The author approaches essential oils from a more scientific standpoint than a touchy-feely happiness standpoint. The scientist in me appreciates that balance (though I don't mind the other approach).

I highly recommend this book for any serious student of aromatherapy. Kurt Schnaubelt has a very scientific approach to aromatherapy.
Quite the useful reference--one I'm sure I'll use often. Very readable and informative. I'm not sure I believe all the theories, but the practical well-researched information is awesome.
Interesting...I do wish that I had just checked this book out at the library instead of buying it. It did have some interesting parts about the science behind essential oils.
