Summary: great stuff
Review: i borrowed this book from the library (before i bought it!) and it was a good read. It is thorough, well presented, and has enough recipes to get you started. You are steered on the right path in terms of oils that you should be cautious with ( which is a far cry from the recipes that you get on the 'net that just throws out any oil/herb combination without telling you the risks). For a starter aromatherapist, i can truly say that i do feel confident with the products that i make for myself and my family. It is really worth the price and more. You will find yourself reaching for it over and over again.
The reason why i gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is that the illustrations could have been more oraganized, and more attractively done. It may sound like splitting hairs, but if you tried to use the illustrations as a guide for plants for infused oils, you may be disappointed.

Summary: A wonderful reference book!
Review: This is one of the first Aromatherapy books I bought and use it constantly. This is a great book when you want more than just a few lines about a certain oil. The formulas/recipes in the back of the book are wonderful too. I recommend this book to anyone interested in aromatherapy...beginners and pro's!
