This will be my essential oil go-to from now on! There is a plethora of information in this book, all of it extremely helpful and informative. It breaks down how to use essential oils, the top used oils and their benefits/uses, plus TONS of recipes. If you are new to essential oils or looking to learn more, this should be in your toolbox! My thanks to the publisher for the gifted copy in exchange for my honest review.

Shelves: non-fiction

This book begins with information about aromatherapy and common essential oils and how to use them safely. The remedies and recipes are divided into sections for Emotional Healing, Physical Healing, and Beauty and Wellness.

I like how it goes in-depth about how essential oils work and how they can promote healing in various areas if used properly. There is also a lot of good advice about how to choose a reliable brand of essential oils, and what different terminology means, and how to properly d ...more

“You will learn everything you need to get the most out of each essential oil you work with and become more confident with working with oils,” Amber Robinson writes in the first part of her book, Aromatherapy and Essential Oils for Healing: 120 Remedies to Restore Mind, Body, and Spirit.

~ What ~
This two-hundred-and-eighteen-page paperback targets those who are interested in or want to learn about aromatherapy and making recipes with essential oils. After a dedication, table of contents, and intr “You will learn everything you need to get the most out of each essential oil you work with and become more confident with working with oils,” Amber Robinson writes in the first part of her book, Aromatherapy and Essential Oils for Healing: 120 Remedies to Restore Mind, Body, and Spirit.

~ What ~
This two-hundred-and-eighteen-page paperback targets those who are interested in or want to learn about aromatherapy and making recipes with essential oils. After a dedication, table of contents, and introduction, the book is divided into two parts that contain eight chapters with one-hundred-and-twenty remedies, followed by resources, references, an index, acknowledgments, and the author’s biography.

The first part contains five chapters involving the definition of aromatherapy, emotional and physical healing, essential safety, healing, and descriptions of twenty key essential oils. The second section has three chapters of recipes and remedies for emotional and physical healing, beauty, and wellness,

While each essential oil covers one page and includes healing properties, treatment, precautions, substitutes, and uses, each recipe is on one to two pages each and begins with a title followed by scent, quantity, user age, and a description. A list down the left side of the page has ingredients and equipment needed in used order. The numbered instructions are easy to follow in paragraph form. Storage, safety, and swap tips are at the bottom.

~ Why ~
This is an informative book that not only has thorough descriptions of many herbs such as bergamot, cedarwood, clary sage, Roman chamomile, and vetiver, but it also has a plethora of healing blends, bath soaks, treatments, sprays, compresses, masks, massage oils, soaps, serums, and scrubs. There are plenty of options to make lovely aromatic homemade gifts.

Some of the interesting recipes are Frazzle Nerves Bath Soak, Uplift Diffusion Blend, Escape from Exhaustion Spray, Delousing Mask Treatment, Muscle Miracle Massage Blend, Boo-Boo Spray, Armpit Detox Mask, Luxurious Lips Sugar Scrub, Whipped Shaving Cream, and Varicose Vein Minimizing Treatment.

~ Why Not ~
Those who do not like scents or do not know the benefits of essential oils may have no interest in this read. Others may not want to buy the many needed ingredients and equipment to make some of the recipes.

~ Wish ~
Being a visual person, I wish there were more photographs and illustrations of the herbs, equipment used, and completed remedies.

~ Want ~
If you want to know more about aromatherapy and essential oils, this is an excellent source because it is concise, full of information and recipes, and easy to use. No doubt some remedies will make great gifts to give to friends and family.

Thanks to Callisto Publisher’s Club and the author for this complimentary book that I am under no obligation to review. ...more

When life for the entire universe and planet turns on its end and like everyone else you "have nothing to do" while your place of work is closed, superspeed readers like me can read 250+ pages/hour, so yes, I have read the book … and many more today.

Callisto Media/Rockridge Press was kind enough to send me a copy of this book to read in exchange for an honest review.

From the publisher, as I do not repeat the contents or story of books in reviews, I let them do it as they do it better than I do 😸 ...more

I try to stay natural as much as I can and I appreciate a good aromatherapy and Essential Oils book that is concise and comprehensive.

The book starts out giving you some history about aromatherapy and essential oils. There is a good amount of information on the science of it from extraction, how they work, grade, purity, today’s oils, reading labels and what it all means. If your new at this there is information on the terminology and techniques.

There is a whole chapter on safety and improper ...more

Shelves: 2020, arc, netgalley

I have always been interested in essential oils and holistic healing. I saw this book offered on Netgalley and had to give it a try. I enjoyed the information provided on many essential oils, their uses, the three means of deploying them and the history behind them. This book does not just skim, it provides useful information. I learned so much more than the cursory knowledge I have picked up from other books.

I liked the arrangement of the book, the recipes provided, substitutions incase an oil ...more

May 06, 2020 Cover Lover Book Review rated it really liked it

The three main reasons I love this book:

Firstly, I love the smell of (most) essential oils. Lavender smells heavenly and is so relaxing. Lemon and grapefruit carries fresh aromas that are cleansing and bright.

Secondly, I love history. And this book explains the history of aromatherapy and the science behind it. Fascinating stuff.

And thirdly, learning the holistic healing approaches of aromatherapy is icing on the cake. It isn't just for treating specific problems, but also works as preventatives ...more

*** I received an ARC of this book via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review ***

What an awesome essential oil reference! I am "relatively new" to essential oils, having started actively using them over the last 8 months. I found this book so helpful and learned a ton! The bath soak, rollerball, and diffuser recipes will also come in handy for me. I liked how the 15 oils highlighted in this book were detailed and their properties explained. I would highly recommend this book for essential oi ...more

I really like this book for beginners. I find essential oils very overwhelming. Robinson breaks out 15 oils to focus on for wellness. I have found other books that make the idea of getting started inaccessible just because of the volume of oils suggested. The book also includes mixtures for various ailments and overall health.
