Alicia Watters has written a very intriguing little book on aromatherapy that includes wonderful recipes that you will want to try out right away. This book explains a little of the history of aromatherapy and teaches you how to make bath oil, bath salts, massage oil, shampoo and toner.I do a lot of the things the author recommends like keeping a notebook to record essential oil blends I like. Some safety precautions are also given. This book does contain a recipe for weight loss capsules. All I can say about that is most books say not to ingest essential oils. I'd be very cautious about doing so even though the oils seem natural. Please only do so if your doctor recommends it.So what did I like most about this book? Well there is a recipe for a blend of oils to promote sleep. You mix together Ylang Ylang, Chamomile, Sandalwood and Lavender in specific quantities. I put some on a tissue and placed it on top of my nose. The scent was wonderful and as I lay in bed I could feel myself relaxing more and more. I definitely think it helped me sleep better. I blended the recipe with some Argan oil so it was diluted a bit.This book also contains recipes for stress relief, anger dissolution and happiness. Some of the oils you will need to make the recipes include Bergamot, Geranium, Frankincense, Orange and Patchouli. I have about 30 essential oils at the moment so could make some of the recipes.So I feel this book will be a good introduction to blending oils together. I look forward to trying more recipes as I expand my collection of essential oils.~The Rebecca Review
