Ratings and reviews

Many of us have heard of aromatherapy but like me weren’t sure how to begin. What scents do what, are they really safe, etc.The title states for beginners but it’s really a complete guidebook for beginners and anyone even for those who have been using essential oils. I found this is the only guidebook you will ever need. Not only do we learn the history and science but also the benefits, buying and storing as well as application and that is all before we get into the oils themselves! The A to Z guide is amazing giving us a comprehensive look into to each type of essential oil but also the characteristics, uses, blends and precautions. This is more thorough and in-depth than any book I’ve read on the subject. But Grady doesn’t stop there. We also have recipe blends covering everything from ailments to cleaners-even essential oils for your pets. At the end of the book is another index on symptoms and the essential oils to use. Personally I highly recommend this book as I don’t believe there is a better one out there on aromatherapy and essential oils that can do what this one does. This is one book you may need both versions to refer to again and again.

Very straight forward,and easy to use references Great book for reference.I truly will be using this for easy beginner reference

As a newbie to essential oils, I especially appreciated the cautionary tone of the intro and the information regarding blending oils.
