Essential Oils and Aromatherapy Recipes: Natural Health and Beauty Solutions Using Essential Oils and Aromatherapy for Stress Reduction, Pain Relief, Skin Care, and Beauty (Essential Oil Guides)

Sheila Mathison has created a helpful book filled with great recipes. There are 177 recipes in this book and you will find recipes for shampoos, body wash toothpaste, mouthwash, bath salts and more. What I liked about this book was that it had recipes for real issues like panic, fear, anxiety and depression. If you have a bee sting, arthritis, asthma or hives you will also find this book useful. I learned new things like how cedarwood was good for the skin. I haven't tried it in skincare but I like it in a meditation blend with patchouli and sandalwood. Overall I felt this was an excellent book that will be great for beginners or even experienced users of essential oils.~The Rebecca Review

This is my second book to read written by Sheila Mathison and all I can say is I love her books. With this book, I learned a lot how to make the things that I needed for my skin which are all free of harmful chemicals and I think inexpensive too. I always love buying beauty products, but now I do not have to spend much because of this book. I know a lot of women even men will be happy to read this to have their own beauty secrets the natural way. I definitely recommend this book to everyone.

I fell in love with herbs decades ago in my early 20s. I have studied essential oils and enjoyed them in arts and crafts, cooking, cleaning, skin care, and for aromatherapy in my massage career. Of all the books and class materials that I have studied, this is one of the best. I especially appreciate the index at the end, to be used as a quick reference guide. This is the only ebook I own that offers this feature.This book can be enjoyed by beginners and experienced aromatherapists alike. I highly recommend it.

Very thorough book. I was surprised actually. What I liked: many "recipes" that corresponding to a long list of conditions; an index to easily look up whatever condition you want to treat, a full listing of references (wow!), and some very clear instructions.I would have given more stars if the index was linked! Hopefully the publisher can fix this oversight. If so, I may change my rating to 5 stars.

Wow! I never thought essential oils have so many usage and benefits. This book is very detailed from the tools and supplies down to the links of where you can sourced your supplies online. The recipes are also very easy to follow. Very informative, indeed! I really enjoyed this book and would definitely recommend it to friends.

This book is chock full of great info and mixtures. It includes many useful links if you're looking for online resources for your oils. I suffer from skin problems and appreciate the simple recipe for eczema cream. Also good was the recipe for creating your own toothpaste, which beats a lot of the commercial products with their artificial colors and flavors. All in all, a great little resource.

Before I got this book I didn’t know that essential oils were one of the oldest and most effective treatments for improved health and well-being. I really like how simple yet informative the book is. It presents the benefits of essential oils and the directions are really easy to follow. I am definitely looking forward to trying essential oils and this book looks like a great start!

I found a lot of good blends to use in my diffuser as well as well as my body care projects. There were also many ideas for other body care projects.

Not what I was expecting

OK

I already had a basic knowledge on the benefits of essential oils and this book was great because it was really comprehensive - providing over 177 recipes for almost any situation. Recipes for relaxation, health, mental well-being etc. I tried one of the recipes and have been using it with my daily meditation. It's been great at calming me and love it. I absolutely recommend this book to anyone interested in essential oils.

Good
