The author describes the use of essential oils as bringing "a small part of the spa with us in our everyday life." She makes the point that it's not some exotic remedy for unusual times and circumstances; it's for everyday. It's simple and relatively inexpensive, and it's healthier than some of the other methods used in today's world.She has to-the-point explanations of the differences between essential oils and fragrant oils. Also, how essential oils are extracted for maximum benefit. But just the bare facts so you can get to using these oils rather than in-depth reading about them! I like that.What are essential oils good for? The author zeroes in personal and home hygiene, first aid and home remedies, babies and children--how about an oil to help our children sleep better? But she also shows that great care needs to be taken with babies. That's important.And our well-being--reduce that stress. Ah, lavender, chamomile, rose, vanilla, frankincense! I smell better just reading about them! And getting too relaxed to keep writing. But there's also an excellent and short section renewing your energy--rosemary, peppermint, basil, and more. Finally, short tips on how to use essential oils, what to avoid, how to correct any mistakes.Enough. I'm going to sprinkle a few drops of lavender in my study right now! This book fully deserves the 5 Stars.
