The Encyclopedia of Essential Oils: The Complete Guide to the Use of Aromatics in Aromatherapy, Herbalism, Health and Well-Being (Health Workbooks) by Julia Lawless (1992)
The images are outstanding! If you're looking for a guide to the use of oils in aromatherapy and herbalism, highly, recommend this one.
A fantastic book with a wealth of information on Essential Oils.
This is a reference book. Great illustrations and information on basic essential oils.
Fascinating resource.

I love this book!
Beautiful book, pleasure to view, but contains erroneous information. Author often draws conclusions about therapeutic properties of essential oils based on data from herbalism, not aromatherapy. Essential oils can have radically different therapeutic properties than their parent plant matter. Enjoyable as an introductory book but not accurate enough to serve as an aromatherapy reference.

good to have on the shelf as a general reference. i would have preferred greater standardization of the formatting within the EO profiles--keep the same colored boxes for the same tidbits. it's layout is similar to most DK Eyewitness books. the EO profiles are not in alphabetical order per common names which is another sticking point for me.
Heard so many good things about this book just browsin' through the internet. Bought it because I need an encyclopedia about aromatherapy and herbalism (I'm hoping it can help soothe me during these kidney stone days).
Still waiting on it... I think I'm gonna have to bug the seller. :/

a thorough history of aromatics along with description of each oil by name. Latin names, method of extraction, uses, home use, etc. The only book you need to get you started with aromatics.
good reference.
there's some things i personally would have formatted differently. overall, similar set-up to DK eyewitness books.

Just had an aromatherapy class. Much more interesting than I thought it would be!
