Summary: An *essential* reference for Essential Oils...
Comment: The Illustrated Encyclopedia of Essential Oils by Julia Lawless, is just that- an encyclopedia! In addition to nearly 70 pages of the backgound and various uses of essential oils, Lawless dedicates a full page to each of 165 essential oils, alphebetized by the latin names of the plants from which they are derived. Each page is presented very professionally, and gives a brief history and description of the oil, including the plant it is derived from and a sketch. It also gives the method of extraction, oil characteristics and actions, and principal constituents. Ms. Lawless also lists a variety of ailments, across several categories, in which each particular oil is beneficial.
If you are looking for recipes and such for making your own body products or specific uses of the oils, this book does not contain them. However, if you are just getting into aromatherapy, already have a "recipe" book or two, and want to learn more about the oils, this book is *essential* to your collection.
Rating: 4
Summary: Loaded with information
Comment: This is a great book loaded with information on allergic reactions, medicinal uses and aromatic uses. Along with historical information about the herb and which parts of the plant to use. Great book for soapmakers like me or herbology students alike.
