Esential Oils by DK is an excellent resource for anyone wanting to use oils. The book explains what oils are, how they work, and how they are extracted. The book shares how oils enter the body, how you should store them and different methods of applying them. It list the oils in alphabetical order by the latin name which is very confusing. Otherwise the information on the oils is excellent. I loved the symbols as the top of the pages that were a quick reference on how to use the oil. The treatment chart is an great reference to quickly flip to or to print and keep with your oils. I highly recommend this book; preferable in a paperback form as an excellent resource.

DK produces some of the best, most beautiful and most fascinating nonfiction on the market. From their Eyewitness series for kid, to their travel guides to books like this one. Readers will learn the basics, what an essential oil is, how it is extracted and how it can be used to improve quality of life. Some readers may be interested in the information about chakras and such, but I was fascinated with the oils themselves and what they can do. From helping wipe away a stressful day, ridding oneself of a headache, inducing sleep and even bolstering confidence, this is a fascinating book, even if all you do is read and look at the gorgeous photos

I ordered this book for the Portsmouth Public Library. It was well received with the patrons there. The graphics and images really made it stand out on the shelf.
