This is an excellent guide to the world of aromatherapy whether you're a beginner or someone who has much more than a passing interest in the subject. While today we're often tempted to skim or completely pass over introductions or other writings to get to the meat, in this case recipes, if you do so with this book you'll miss out on an enlightening and engaging discussion on the history of aromatherapy. Well written and full of interesting information.I really appreciated seeing the various cautions sprinkled here and there for specific ingredients for those who have allergies. Even more the warning for diabetics in their use of aromatherapy. The author is definitely presenting a useful look at how and why aromatherapy is a useful application that we can all use to our advantage.I remember my grandmother giving me chamomile tea and my mom using lavender. Recently we used tea oil quite a bit to help my mom with some issues. This is a great book to have and a useful reference. Well worth the money.
