Essential Oils: Essential Oil Massage Techniques For Beginners: Prevent Headaches, Relieve Stress And Promote Relaxation (Essential Oils And Aromatherapy)

Well my friend had a take on Aromatherapy and massage where they said " Heck it smells good and I feel refreshed from the manipulation of muscles and tissue so it must be good!" They were probably correct overall. Clearly this book tells it well. The introduction of the timeline associated with using oils and such for the body and coupled with appropriate massage learned over centuries really establishes the depth of knowledge associated with today's applications. This book is incredibly good. It is for the more advanced participant (there was an earlier edition more towards the complete novice). Here the theory becomes practice and the outcomes are your answer to value. Like a cookbook, until you have tried the recipes you do not have judgement over the writing. With this book it is pretty much the same. Get into it and explore the options and overcome the unknown challenges easily. An easy read. A valuable tool. I recommend it.

This book is loaded with information and knowledge about essential oils and their use. It can seem a little much at first, especially if you aren't familiar with the subject matter like I was not. Luckily, the author knows how to present that information so it is actually easy to follow and understand.My favorite parts are about stress relief and mindfulness and the role essential oils can play in that context. I'm really into mindfulness at the moment and it was really cool to learn how I can enrich that experience even more.Anyone who is interested in essential oils should give this book a chance, there is enough material to find something that is helpful, you'd be surprised.
