Valerie Ann Worwood's book on aromatherapy is a practical classic. This one is no less. If you are interested in remedies using essential oils and herbs, you will not be disappointed. The author has a great way of giving information without being too elementary; the recipes are not complicated but more sophisticated than "put some lavendar oil on your cuts and bruises" - which is the approach that a lot of "natural" remedy books seem to take and the limit of their level of sophistication. Ms. Worwood formulates synergic recipes. and if you have read any of her other books, you will know she is great on using each ingredient to complement or enhance the effectiveness of other recipe components. To do this, you must truly know the properties, strengths and weaknesses of the ingredients -- and the author does indeed. I used Ms. Worwood's aromatherapy recipes to such success, that I felt I needed to have this out-of-print book of hers too.

The advice and knowledge she shares is priceless. It has changed my life and saved my life. It is something you won't even get to learn at University. The mother of essential oils and her blends and recommendations are next level phenomenal

So happy to have a copy of this again. I lost my copy whilst moving house years ago and have no found a local copy since. My rekindling of interest into essential oils particularly those sourced well and no bought via the MLM machine, lead me back here to where it started for me... such an amazing tool and really helpful and easy to find what you need.

Excellent book to keep handy....FULL of recipes for almost every ailment you can think of and multiple suggestions on how to use essential oils, from beauty products to gardening, cooking, even making your own perfumes. It's nicely organized, explains the medicinal qualities of each essential oil, and gives dosages, as well as cautions. It's functional and straightforward....no pictures though - only text. I love this little book and use it all the time for my family's health and well-being.

Good condition.

This is a fabulous resource for essential oil use in the home for body and household. It is the same as "The Complete Book of Essential Oils and Aromatherapy" by the same author. I have compared many parts of the book and the wording is identical, so you don't need both. I read online that this is the UK publication and "The Complete Book of..." is the US publication.

I have several of this authors books and they are my go to when I need to find information about a condition or a receipt for a blend. I have studied with several e/o teachers and Valerie is always referred to as an authority for her knowledge and blend ideas.

I was seeking a natural "solution" which I had seen referenced in another publication. It was declared that the solution was extremely helpful and upon getting the book, the solution was clearly outlined and contributed to my intelligence/information regarding the needed items and method of delivery for maximum results. Thanks, Valerie
