For example it mentions essential oil evaporation rates and odor intensities which is rather useful to know when creating your own blends, but it only offers this information for 12 essential oils. So if you'd like to know more, you'll have to look elsewhere for such information. <br/><br/>On the other hand, there are tons of recipes for adults, for babies and for elderly people; for skin care, for alleviating different mental, emotional and physical health problems, etc. There are suggestions for different ways of applying essential oils - from inhaling, to adding drops in a bath water, using in in massage. <br/><br/>The book goes even beyond discussing merely the properties and applications of different essential oils and offers helpful tips and techniques for meditation, stress relief, how to perform different kinds of massage, etc. <br/><br/>At the end of the book is a Directory of Essential Oils, where the properties of about 40 - 50 essential oils are described.

When I got this book I read it cover to cover without ever once getting bored and when I was done I was ready to try everything in it. The author not only covers how the oils effect the body, but the intensity levels with wich oils are stonger in smell, wich will last longer on the skin and warnings as to wich ones should not be used and why. The book is 400 pages long, illustrated on glossy paper with great photos. It includes recipes for making massage oils, fragrances for the skin, oils to use durring meditation, how to meditate, how to give a massage, wich oils to use in baths, lotions, in daily skin care and its all very easy to follow. I suggest this book to anyone who has even the slightest interest in essential oils. You wont be dissapointed.

Pages & pages devoted to massage & meditation techniques, emotional issues, yet only 2 pages to discuss the concept of top, middle & base notes. What about how to actually use those little bottles, some with special techniques to actually get the oil to flow or others that are open necked & will spill everywhere. And if you want to look up a specific oil - no such luck. Details on each oil are grouped by their type: citrus, root, flower. If you don't know the type then you must page thru the entire section cause there is not an index listing for the various oils. Bad editing choice. I would not recommend this book - find something else. Yes, there is much information here but it covers too many areas that are not aromatherapy.
