Very informative and interesting book. I highly write recommend it. Very educational. Very enjoyable

This is an interesting book full of essential oil tips and information. I’ve been using oils for more than thirty years and still managed to find a few valuable things within these pages. Thanks #NetGalley for ARC.

A beautiful book for those wishing to go more natural in their daily care. Wonderful pictures and recipes for most every situation.

For many years, I’ve been a huge fan of using essential oils as a supplement to my daily life – for use around the home, and also for the body. I’ve shared several essential oil recipes and tips right here, from simple facial scrubs and toners to household cleaners. And don’t forget my guide to using essential oils for headaches and colds.

So, when I was offered a review copy of Stephanie Ariel’s Essential Oil Recipes book, I was keen to find even more to add to my repertoire.

Stephanie discusses the benefits of essential oils and their uses – as well as the easiest oils to get started with. The recipes include a comprehensive list of ingredients and tools (all of which she discusses in detail). The main thing I love about this book is that all of the ingredients used are entirely plant based and vegan.

Beautiful Blends

By far my favourite chapter of this book is the very simple range of blends for all kinds of healing purposes. Blends to help you sleep and grieve. Blends to lift your mood. Some designed to raise your optimism and contentment. Others to ground and reduce pain.

I’m so impressed with this range of recipes and I’ve been using several of them myself. They’re really simple too – even a complete newbie to aromatherapy can blend these mixtures and start feeling the benefits.

Face & Body

With a variety of recipes for facial soaps, cleansers and washes, this section of Essential Oil Recipes has something for everyone. You will need a little more in the way of ingredients than required for the blends, yet most are still very simple. If you want to make creams and balms you’ll need access to a double boiler or microwave.

I absolutely adore the combinations of scents used throughout this section. You’ll smell absolutely divine using any one of these. There’s even a recipe for a tattoo butter – which I’ll definitely be trying myself when my current store bought one runs out.

Essential Oil Recipes for Home

This is an area of aromatherapy you don’t see mentioned as often as body care, but it’s an absolute treasure. I used to enjoy seeing participants get excited in my workshops when I showed them how easy it was to make an all-purpose cleaner for kitchen/bathroom.

As well as providing recipes for cleaning sprays, the author offers us tea tree toilet scrubs, wood shine wax and dishwashing powder. To name just a few. You can also learn how to make your own plant-based candles (get ready to become obsessed).

This book is absolutely packed full of wonderful recipes for healing and cleaning. A perfect addition to any bookshelf.

Many thanks to NetGalley for sending a review copy. All opinions are my own.

Really cool book on how to get started making your own essential oil blends. The book not only gives recipes if you will, there’s also sections on the equipment you will need & step by step instructions.

Do you like natural healing? If so you may want to purchase this book, I have been trying to go 100% holistic care for myself and my family because of the amount of ailments we have I decided to start using Essential Oils as pure as I can purchase but boy can it be expansive!

I want to get all the supplies and start making my own , but my home is so small it will have to wait for about a year or so ( wait for a child to move out and make a lab lol )

This book is so full of information, how to make essential oils, how to use them, what oils are good for what and so much more. Like I said I have a lot of health issues, so does my daughters so I did try these two Oils and wanted to share ONLY these 2 oils because personally you need to buy this book. First oil we used for a week to see if it worked and it did! BREATHE EASY SINUS CLEAR
The second one I used ( still using ) has been helping me A LOT HORMONE BALANCER , I am in menopause and my hormones are insane so will be using this for a while and this will be the first oils I will make on my own when I can. I am going to purchase a few copies as gifts for Christmas this year for a few friends and family members that I think would love this book . Please enjoy the images I am about to post , I am a HUGE Image person , I like to see what I am making / using .
This last image I cropped out the rest of the page because I want you to purchase this book and then you can learn how to make your own oils lol , I just thought this was a VERY good image .
( attaching ling to my review so you can see the images as well)

This is a great guide to using essential oils. There are tons of recipes along with detailed instructions about what oils work best for each application. If you utilize essential oils this is the book for you.

This is a great guide for beginners delving into the world of essential oils. I've been using oils for 6 years but I still found this informative.

The images are beautiful and it's very detailed in explaining what you need, what it's for, and how to create a specific oil blend. There's recipes for personal care, wellness, and home care.

I found this book to be fantastic. Very informative and the recipes in it are well worth a try. My skin which has been quite raw and sensitive has never felt better. This is also a great gift for anyone that’s interested in natural skincare.

This was super informational! I’ve been trying to incorporate essential oils more into my everyday life to cut down on some of the toxic stuff that’s out there. This book really went over everything! The information on how essential oils are made was really cool and all the information about the other all natural ingredients that can be used was great too. There’s also so many recipes and combinations to try, I’ve gotten so much out of this book. I could easily see myself getting this book for others interested in learning about essential oils. Would easily recommend!

I voluntarily reviewed this after receiving a copy.

"Essential Oil Recipes for Home and Body Care" is a comprehensive guide that offers a wealth of valuable information and a plethora of useful recipes. The book delves into the world of essential oils, providing readers with a diverse range of applications for both household and personal care. The recipes themselves are well-detailed and thoughtfully curated, making it easy for readers to create their own blends and products.

However, while the content shines, the book's design falls short of expectations. The mismatched and seemingly random assortment of pictures is a notable drawback. A more cohesive and visually appealing design could have significantly enhanced the reading experience, helping to better connect the text with the visuals. Despite this shortcoming, the book remains a valuable resource for those seeking to explore the benefits of essential oils in their daily lives.

I received a complimentary copy from the publisher and all opinions expressed are entirely my own.

The book is informative, easy to read and has essential oils for face and body. It's easy to follow and quite interesting. I loved that the book was perfect for beginners like myself. I absolutely loved it and if you love essential oils then this book is for you.

Essential Oil Recipes for Home and Body Care is a brilliant introduction to the worlds of essential oils and aromatherapy, with recipes and instructions for home and body care. This book goes into just the right balance of detail to help you create your own products, but doesn't go so deep you will get overwhelmed.

In addition to essential oil recipes for tons of aromatherapy benefits, there are also recipes for face and body care products, home care, first aid recipes, and more. Overall, this book is the perfect level for anybody who's interested in making their own natural products!

Thanks Netgalley and the publisher for the opportunity to review this eARC in exchange for my honest review on the book!

Thanks to Netgalley and Fox Chapel Publishing for access to this arc in exchange for my honest review.

This book has it all !! From personal care (face, body, hair) to home care. Everything you can use essential oils for. The recipes seem easy enough to achieve. You hate mosquitoes ? Want to take care of your face or even to sleep better, and so much more ? This book is for you !

I enjoyed the book, Essential Oil Recipes for Home and Body Care. It had some really great recipes that I actually used and I really enjoyed trying new stuff. I really enjoyed being able to read more details about some of the oils being used in the recipes listed. This is a great resource for those who are a fan of essential oils and who want to find ways to incorporate oils into their daily or regular routines!

You'll find endless possibilities with the book. Make money, use the recipes as gifts, or even for yourself.

The author makes the ingredients and recipes clear and easy to create with her step-by-step instructions.

I have read and bought several DIY essential oils books, and this one is by far the best book for everyday use.

Do keep in mind if you have pets in your household, some dogs and cats are allergic to essential oils so please be careful using oils around them.

Thank you to NetGalley, the author and the publisher for an ARC of this book.

I just reviewed Essential Oil Recipes for Home and Body Care by Stephanie Ariel. #FoxChapelPublishing #NetGalley
[NetGalley URL] This book was helpful for how to use the essential oils that I already own, and also some that could be beneficial. I really enjoyed this book.

When giving reviews on essential oils, I grade them on specific things as there are endless books on essential oils out there. These include the images used, organization, ease of use, and information provided.

Ms. Ariel's book stands out for a couple reasons. Like most essential oil/recipe guides, the images are beautiful and relevant to the material without taking away from the text or format. The format and organization of her recipe book are among my favorites. Not only is it aesthetically pleasing to my eyes, but I could look through it and easily pick out information I need. I also feel it wasn't bogged down by useless or unnecessary information. Too often have I lost interest in a reference book because there is too much background information.

This book is perfect for readers who are new to essential oils as well as those with a fair amount of knowledge. There isn't over-information to annoy those who already have it and just want to use the recipes while also giving newbies enough information to safely work with the oils and make the recipes.

Overall, this is hands down a great resource to have and would recommend to anyone wanting to work with essential oils.

Essential Oils are such a fun concept to explore. Each spring my husband and I spray peppermint oil to keep wasps away from our porch and we love using our oil diffuser for some easy room scent! Essential Oil Recipes for Home and Body Care is a great tool for learning some of the ways that essential oils can be used in our homes and in our self care. The book would be a great tool for people beginning their essential oil journey!

Whether you’re new to the amazing world of essential oils or have been using them for years, this complete essential oils guide details their incredible benefits, as well as how to make – and even monetize – natural home remedies and self-care products!
I am halfway through this beautiful book and cannot recommend highly enough. The layout, narrative and pictures are of the highest quality, this would be a valuable addition to those with a knowledge of oils, natural remedies and combining the different materials as well as those, like me, who know very little about this magical alchemy of beautiful scents and creations. Wonderful. My grateful thanks to the author, publishers and Netgalley for an advance copy of this book.
