This groundbreaking manual bridges the gap between the physical and emotional aspects of essential oils and creates a user-friendly guide for taking charge of your emotional health. Each oil is written about with profound insight and understanding of its innate properties and gifts, and the result is as poetic as it is practical.

For long-time oil enthusiasts and beginners alike, Emotional Healing with Essential Oils will inspire you with the genius and beauty of Mother Nature’s finest of gifts. This book is universal in nature and is therefore applicable to any and all quality lines of essential oils. In this book you will find descriptions for 54 singe oils and 20 common blends. Please While the names of single oils are the same from one essential oil company to the next, the names of blends are generally not the same.

In this lecture Daniel Macdonald goes deeper into the concepts of emotional healing with the assistance of essential oils. The result is experiential as well as highly informational.

This is the Second Edition. The oils are not limited by brand, but the author does say that the oils should be high quality.

Very clearly written oil descriptions that highlight how each one can affect one's emotional health. Most of what I read here is new information that I haven;t seen in other books.
Interesting read. One thing I particularly liked was the idea of chosing 3 oils that you favor and using them every day for a month so determine the change that I can make in your emotional health because of thre idea that we are sometimes drawn to oils we need. Also to chose one oil that is your very least favorite and to use that every day for 3 months.

This book brings a whole new light to how one can use essential oils and how they can benefit us emotionally. I was so intrigued with all the emotional and healing benefits this book explains, especially since I suffer from depression. I loved reading the amazing descriptions for each oil. They are each given an emotional "name." For instance, Basil is "The Oil of Renewal." Each oil and blend from doTERRA is covered. The author captures the personality and soul of each oil, shares suggested uses, and explains several emotions addressed for each. I found this so helpful for emotional healing. I utterly enjoyed reading through the descriptions and deciding which oils I was drawn to to help with my own emotional healing. I am so glad I was introduced to this book and I look forward to using it often.

I read part of this as part of my doTERRA success training program but I honestly could not get over the language. One of the reasons it took me a long time to get involved with essential oils was the "hokiness" factor and the author's word choices were not ones I can relate to. I continue to be constantly amazed by my doTERRA oils and I love them so much but I still have a hard time thinking they can do all that this author claims. Perhaps my perspective will change later on and I will come to agree with this author more. But, at this place in my life, it was just too hokey for me to get into...maybe one day but I am sure there are other books that are similar but without the "hokiness" factor?

I love this book and refer to it regularly. I found out about it through a DoTerra representative, but the oils are not exclusive to DoTerra. I refer to it on an almost daily basis and it has converted me into a true believer in aromatherapy. How McDonald amassed this esoteric knowledge of oils, I have no idea (and he offers no explanation) but I have found the associations between oils and emotional states to be spot-on. This book is thorough, well presented, well organized and well written. I absolutely love it.

This little book is unique - there is nothing out there like it right now (that I can find). It's so helpful in teaching which oils and which blends of oils will be most helpful to you and the ones you love. The version I bought is not doTERRA specific, which I liked because there are other oils out there (like Myrtle, for instance) that I need and doTERRA doesn't manufacture. I will keep this book and refer to it often.

So helpful. Great resource to keep ready to go.

Excellent resource to have with you at all times to pull up when talking to others or needing to find something quickly for yourself.
