The Fragrant Pharmacy

One of my best purchase online this book should be the part of every house hold thank you amazon

If you want to know about essential oils and natural fragrances this is the best book.

the quality of the print and the paper is not really up to the mark

This was duplicate print like the cheap kinds you get on traffic lights for 50 bucks, the printing was slanting on many pages. I had an original earlier that my friend took so I was looking for a new one. Highly disappointed that Amazon seller will do this. I got fragrant mind from Amazon as well and that one is original.

Really enjoy reading this book, so much good information and useful tips for everyday life. The book includes for head to toe home care with essential oils, and some recipes for different occasions, love it! I also bought another 3 books from the same author.

I bought this book because I have recently discovered aromatherapy. At first I had thought that aromatherapy was sort of a silly thing that didn't really work, but as I began to play about with oils I realised that there was a lot of potential for using them to enhance my life. For instance, as a student I have to spend a lot of time in libraries reading, which does tend to make me a little sleepy! I realised that keeping basil oil in my pocket keeps me awake and focused. When I realised they worked this well I was keen to find out more and sought a book a bit like a dictionary but with a directory of uses for each oil, including inspiration for recipes. Well this book certainly delivers. There are hundreds of pages listing various ailments and the different combinations of oils that can be used to help. The author gives advice on how to use specific blends of oils (massage, diffuse etc.) and she also provides alternative oils. This is especially useful if you don't have all the oils. I've got about 20 of the main ones, and find that I can do most things the book suggests. I also like that she has a big list of the main oils at the start of the book, so when purchasing useful oils for my collection, I populated my Amazon basket with these first. Worwood also includes recipes for the kitchen (I never knew you could cook with essential oils!), though of course, check the purity of your oils before ingesting!! At the back of the book are a number of tables setting out oils that are good for various general jobs, like killing bacteria, improving skin etc., and this is great if you want to have a bash at mixing your own recipes. I used the 'bacteria Busters' table to make an essential oils antibacterial spray, which I spray on my desk, phone, linen, door handles frequently. (A cheeky inhale of the mist also helps with clearing a blocked nose!) This book has loads of useful tips and if you are a student like me (or indeed anyone prone to stress, worry, anxiety), there are loads of recipes for helping you to get life back under control. And they WORK. I used a sleeplessness recipe last night and I had a very good sleep! I use the ME concentration recipe when I study (I don't have ME, but I find that the recipe is fantastic for staying alert and focused when put in an ultrasonic diffuser). All in all, this book does everything that you would need. There is even a list of dangerous oils at the back (like nightshade, which was used in the medieval/early modern period--ladies used to drip it in their eyes to make their pupils bigger, but it actually led to blindness!!!). The index can point you to more or less anything you can think of, making this book something to peruse at leisure or flick through like Harry Potter did with the Half Blood Prince's 'Advanced Potion Making'!!

This book it’s really good if you are new in aromatherapy.I use it a lot when I want to mix essential oils.

Kitabi asiri uygun bir fiyata almistim. Saman kagida basilmis, icinde bolca bilgi ve karisim tarifleri barindiriyor. Bahsettigi bitkileri hic tanimiyorsaniz renkli ve resimli baska bir kitap bag kurmak icin etkili olabilir.

O conteúdo é ótimo mas a impressão é muito ruim. Acredito que pela qualidade do papel. Não é muito nítido...
