Althea Press The Beginner's Guide to Essential Oils: Everything You Need to Know to Get Started

I've been wanting to get a book about essential oils for a while as I love to use them but wanted to know more about their uses.This book is perfect. Its concise and has loads of information.As well as describing all the various uses there are also easy recipes for blending oils and making body and home products.For anyone starting out using essential oils this book is perfect and I highly recommend.

A very well written book. Packed full of information and very clear instructions yet it doesn't leave you feeling overwhelmed by information overload. Loads of recipes to use for many different uses and very well compiled which makes it an excellent book to dip in and out of. The perfect book for anyone like me who is just beginning their journey into the world of essential oils.

This book was little a disappointing for me. Although it does contain some genuinely useful recipes such as vapor rubs, lotions, facial toner/mask and a good description of essential oils, I do find that a lot of the recipes are repetitive and just a bit unnecessary (see image above..).Also, she uses borax in a lot of her cleaning products which is actually banned in the UK due to its toxic properties.😬 This really knocked my confidence in the book which seems to be lacking a thorough research and done with a DIY approach (the latter is self-admitted).

Purchased this as just starting to look into essential oils and would like to make my own blends. Seems a good book and easy read. Lists some oils and gives good description of its benefits and uses. Would recommend for those looking to take an interest in essential oils

Fantastic book for a complete beginner like me. Explains the most popular 30 oils clearly and has plenty of recipes to follow. Cannot wait to get started.
