It is stock full of information. It contains the basics, how when and why to use essential oils, oil decriptions, some oil mixtures, oils to avoid etc. I wish it did have pictures however. Also as a reference book it may take you a minute to find the information because there is so much of it, where as other books are more compact and straight to the point.

This is the place to do a quick perusal to determine whether you want to know more. Kathi Kaville, Director of the American Herb Association, has prepared a book for the beginner or the merely curious. <br/><br/>Ever wonder about the ingredients in your favorite perfume? For years, I've worn Channel No.5 and come close to adoring the scent on me and others. What's not to like- it consists of essential oils from sandalwood, vanilla, rose, ylang-ylang, neroli and bergamot and other fine oils. Of course, having worn this perfume for so long, as did my mother, I also know the perfumers use a very special rose (and plenty of it) and that the way the perfume is mixed affects the scent. I also know that the version sold in many department stores in the States is an inferior grade. You have to buy the blend that has not been overly diluted with alcohol. <br/><br/>One of the aspects of this book I truly appreciate is the overview of all the different uses of essential oils. Essential oils can be used medicinally for sure or as health and beauty aids. You can also use them as household cleaning products. For example, you don't have to use moth balls to protect your woolens, you can use a blend of essential oils (including cedar oil) and they will smell better in the spring. Also, you can use oils in the dishwasher, the clothes dryer and other places around the house. They will impart a clean fresh smell that makes the visitor think you've been cleaning like mad. <br/> Thinking about learning more about essential oils and aromatherapy?
