Essential Oils Natural Remedies: The Complete A-Z Reference of Essential Oils for Health and Healing

I have been interested in essential oils for a while now, but I never really did any research or reading on them. I even have a couple bottles that were given to me sitting on my dresser, but really I had no idea how to use them, and that I would need a carrier oil for most of them. Essential oils seem to be on trend right now in the U.S. But I never really was sure if they were for more than aromatherapy. This book gives you all the information you need to learn and start using essential oils for your health. I love how the author starts with the simple essentials, explaining what essential oils are, and ways they are used. The author goes on to explain how the oils are collected and why they are so powerful. Essential oils are natural oils in the plants that are removed and purified for use. Many health issues can improve or even heal completely by using essential oils instead of turning to modern chemicals in drugs. The book goes into detail listing the essential oils, what they can provide and how they are used. It also includes how to choose your essential oils and how to choose a carrier oil. With recipes for massage oils, and great ideas for mixing your own shampoo, soap, and massage oils, this book becomes a perfect reference for anyone interested in essential oils. Later in the book there are lists of medical issues and how to treat them with essential oils. I am hoping to try some of these soon. The last thing this book goes into are references. It talks about the most popular and the best places to get your essential oils. I have yet to pick a company I desire to get my first essential oils from, but using this book I have a much greater understanding of what essential oils are, how to use them, and how to store them and mix my own oils for my tastes. Truly this book is just a perfect reference. It teaches the basics, as well as what to watch for when buying oils. It really is the best reference for using essential oils for natural remedies.

Truly a great book and price for all the book has to offer. The book is over 400 pages! This is my first physical book of oils and I can tell you that it is going to be a great resource for when I need to look up something that is bothering us and needing addressed. Great guide to help me understand how to use them and the history of them too. The first part of the book has the aliments to look up and gives you recipes and or oils and how to use them for that specific problem. Gives suggestions on recipes and normally has more than one suggestion for the aliment. The second half of the book shows you the oil and then what you can use the specific oil for and what you can also blend them with too! I am in love with this book. I have had it for several weeks and honestly I have used it almost DAILY!! Yes seriously. Again I am a newbie to essential oils so every time one of the kids or hubby and I have an issue I hurry and look it up and see what I can help to clear up our problems. I have used the recipes for soreness/pain, hemorrhoids, asthma, kidneys and man oh man they have WORKED. I love this book and actually am going to buy another for a friend's Christmas gift. Lots of information and a great tool that any oil user should use and have for the emergency aliment.

I recently began using essential oils to promote health and wellness in my home and personal care routine. I am a complete beginner, and received most of my information from blogs and other websites before purchasing this book. I thought that having a physical guide to flip through would be helpful, and boy was I right! This book is a wonderful tool for answering my questions and providing insights on essential oils, what they do, and how I can use them to my benefit. The book is divided into five main sections: Let Plants Be Thy Medicine - provides a brief history and overview of essential oils Getting Started with Essential Oils - explains how to select oils, products that you might need, and important safety instructions Essential Oil Application Methods - provides information on the different ways of using oils and the benefits of each Natural Remedies for Common Ailments - am alphabetized list of medical conditions and oil blends to treat them Nature's Pharmacy of Essential Oils - an alphabetized list of oils and their application methods, medicinal uses, precautions, and other oils to blend with My favorite sections by far are the ailments and oils lists. I would recommend this book to anyone new to the world of essential oils or those looking to improve their knowledge. It is great for quick consultation and provides a wealth of information.
