Essential Oils: Ancient Medicine for a Modern World

It’s a good book if you are into all things natural and essential oils for healing

Since my wife gave me this book I have expanded my essential oil collection greatly because the book offers tons of practical uses that are easy to understand and make use of.The book’s explanations of wintergreen and cypress have been immensely helpful. I have cubital tunnel, tendinosis of my extensor carpi ulnaris, and rotator cuff tendinitis all in my right arm. My favorite remedy is to rub Tiger Balm on my arm, followed by wintergreen and cypress oils. My arm feels cool and relaxed, and the pain stays at bay for hours!

This book is the most informative book I have ever read or picked up about essential oils and it teaches how to mix the oils together to help with all kinds of different ailments and it has recipes that you can use the oils with it is a wonderful book if you're looking for a book on essential oils this is the book to buy

This Book is a “must have” for anyone and everyone !! Valuable and practical guide to health using the Creator’s natural medicine in the form of Essential Oils. Also, I love the recipes for natural products using easily attainable ingredients.

Update: One more note I want to point out since I have reviewed the book more thoroughly is that some key suggestions are missing in the "conditions section". So I do not feel that it is comprehensive, just has some highlights listed for each condition. There are many other herbs and oils that could be used for the conditions listed, so if someone is looking to truly study essential oils and herbs they would need to use other references as well.This is a pretty book. It has a lot of beautiful illustrations and is clearly laid out. He has a lot of good thoughts, although I have seen the same information in other books. I am knocking it one star because he is an advocate of ingesting essential oils, and I am not. I firmly believe they work well applied to the skin and there is no need to potentially harm yourself by digesting them. Essential oils are extremely concentrated and someone could easily take too much.

This book is absolutely great! The hardcover edition is very nice quality! This book is organized so well and it doesn't contain a bunch of fluff and filler. It has a great layout. A very detailed table of contents so you can quickly and easily find what you're looking for! It even includes an index in the back!In this book, you will find some history on Essential Oils, you will learn to spot quality products, it will teach you how to safely use the oils, it will teach you the different uses for oils... many of which have multiple uses. It will tell you things like which oils are not safe to use while pregnant and which oils are not safe to use around your beloved pets. Some oils are toxic to dogs and cats! It tells you which oils are not safe for children and it tells you how to safely apply the ones that are.One of the things I love the most are the recipes! There are recipes for snacks like Apple Cinnamon Bread... Recipes for dinners like Orange Teriyaki Salmon... Recipes for side dishes and soups, desserts... And then there are recipes for things like cough syrup, burn salve, bug spray, household cleaner, laundry soap, shampoo, sunscreen, mouthwash, toothpaste and so much more!There is a vast amount of information all wrapped up in this one simple to use, easy to understand book!

I'm about a quarter of my way through and am thrilled that I purchased this book - and I'm very impressed with the quality of it. It's going to be my go-to reference book for years to come.

I learned about Dr Axe in Youtube, and now I bought many of his books. His recommendations have worked on me. From foods to essential oils.

Uma experiência única de leitura ,um conhecimento prático dos óleos essenciais apesar de pouco técnico dentro das entidades clínicas possíveis de tratamento.Muito satisfeita pela compra,dado a raridade de livros sobre o assunto,adorei a leitura!

Simplemente me encantó este libro. No solamente te da un contexto histórico de los aceites esenciales, sino también, usos, datos importantes, recetas. Vaya, te inspira no solamente a su uso, sino hacia un cambio más holístico de estilo de vida

This is my first book on essential oils and I chose well. This book won't disappoint. It explains how to purchase essential oils and their uses and there are some recipes. I would recommend purchasing this book. The only thing I wished it had was good sources for purchasing organic essential oils but I did find one source through a google search.

Interesting and copmrehensive book about essential oils. It covers many oils and gives a lot of information. It is a good purchase!

One of my favorite books on the uses and applications of essential oils that doesn’t try to push any brands on you. Wonderful reference!
