Lovely and knowledgeable book to have in your library if you are interested in Essential oils and natural healing.
The book contains so much information - history of oils and treatments and uses. An A-Z listing of all oils and what they can do, this is really soooo very informative.
There is also a lot of information on using blenders and carrier oils. How and when to use essential oils.
I think the greatest knowledge in this book is How oil affect the body. An extremely informative section that should be read through firstly, before undergoing any use of oils as everyone can react so differently.

Definitely a great, thorough book to have in my Library.

In Focus Essential Oils is a fantastic all in one book for anyone who is interested in, or already an essential oil user. It includes definitive guides to the oils, carrier oils, how to use oils for particular ailments, which oils to blend for what purpose and more!

One of the most extensive and complete guide about essential oils. The book starts historical facts about essential oils from ancient time to modern day. Also, Marlene includes an extended dictionary with the description, uses, aroma and other characteristic keys about each essential oil mentioned. Then, the author adds recipes, suggested blends with the benefits. My favorite chapters are: how to integrate the essential oils into the daily routine, how choice a diffuser and the guide of essential oils depending on the season of the year.

SInce I'm someone quite new to the essential oils trend, this was a great tool for me. Some I knew, but even more I did not. The history of aromatherapy I could particularly intriguing. Then it went through a bunch of the most popular oils and part of the plant that was used, the keyword, aroma, description, uses, and safety. This was beyond helpful and really opened up my eyes a lot to what could possibly work for me and what oils I should be focusing on and what I shouldn't be. It talks about blending, carrier oils, different ways to use them. Just, everything. this is a 5 out of 5 star book for me. A wonderful, educational read.
