Summary: Complete Aromatherapy Handbook: Susanne Rischer-Rizzi et al
Review: Having read tombs and tombs of data, publications and books on the subject aromatherapy, including authors Schnaubelt, Price, Mojay, Catty, Tisserand and Battaglia (all of which are great books), Fischer-Rizzi is one of a few books, including Salvatore Battaglia, that I refer to constantly. Fischer-Rizzi's writing and presentation style is authoritative and page-turning, and given the complexity of the subject matter, she presents all that is aromatherpy with ease and marvellous readability. The book does provide recipes for all kinds of ailments and cosmetology, but what I most like about this lady's book is the 'straight to the heart of the matter' reading. The book is far more literary than many books on this subject. That is not to say it is airy fairy or wordy - far from it - it simply states each oil's components in plain English and does not bore and labour through overuse of chemistry and jargonised language. Fischer-Rizzi also advises each oil's affinity with other oils, which will help you blend and create synergies. The book also details base oil use and therapeutic benefits.

Review: Informative! This book is chocked full of information on essential oils. Written and organized in easy to follow format. The blending recipes are a real treat for any beginner. Although this is a paper back (large edition)the graphics and color are eyecatching. THIS BOOK IS A WELCOME ADDITION TO MY REFERENCE LIBRARY ON AROMATHERAPY.

Summary: a favorite
Review: Many years ago I received this book as a present from my then near 90 years old mother, and it resulted my first "serious" book an Aromatherapy. Now, after nearly ten years, and after connecting with Jean Valnet, the Tisserands, with Kurt Schnaubelt, Shirley Price, Patricia Davis, Valerie Wormwood, etc etc., it remains still one of my favorites on this thematica.Susanne Fischer offers a, in my opinion, unique combination between innocence and determination, spirit for curiosity and deep knowledge, precise and palpable information and connecting poetry, and all this together makes this book for me so valuable, no matter if I am looking just for precise information on this or that oil, or if I am "only" in need to read some enhancing words.
