One of the most extensive and complete guide about essential oils. The book starts historical facts about essential oils from ancient time to modern day. Also, Marlene includes an extended dictionary with the description, uses, aroma and other characteristic keys about each essential oil mentioned. Then, the author adds recipes, suggested blends with the benefits. My favorite chapters are: how to integrate the essential oils into the daily routine, how choice a diffuser and the guide of essential oils depending on the season of the year.

SInce I'm someone quite new to the essential oils trend, this was a great tool for me. Some I knew, but even more I did not. The history of aromatherapy I could particularly intriguing. Then it went through a bunch of the most popular oils and part of the plant that was used, the keyword, aroma, description, uses, and safety. This was beyond helpful and really opened up my eyes a lot to what could possibly work for me and what oils I should be focusing on and what I shouldn't be. It talks about blending, carrier oils, different ways to use them. Just, everything. this is a 5 out of 5 star book for me. A wonderful, educational read.

I really loved the artwork and the easy to read nature of this book.

It's a great reference book to have for all things about essential oils, how to use them, where they come from, and their histories.

I enjoyed the little historical facts and stories to do with the descriptions of the essential oils.

Really looking forward to implementing some of the things I've learned into my life.
