This is THE book you need to practice aromatherapy

I have many aromatherapy books and none compare to this one. Larissa is very clear and concise in her application of aromatherapy principles at presents her ideas in an easy to follow fashion. This book is good for beginners, but is by no means arbitrary reading or education for those more advanced in this arena. If you are looking to learn more about this field you should start here because this book will give you a strong sense of what aromatherapy is used for and decode it's mysteries (especially for the beginner). This is my absolute favorite aromatherapy book, and if I could only use one, it would be this one!

You will feel as if you can begin right away and continue to learn as your skill improves. Take a chance and get this book today.

I use this book all the time...

This is the first book I turn to when looking for aromatherapy remedies. Usually, I need no other. Her information is precise and concise, which makes it easy to follow and remember. Also, she lists uses for each essential oil and what mixes well with it. If you ever have a chance to see her in person, do it, it's well worth any price.

Where Can You Find A Better Basic Aromatherapy Book?

Larissa Jones explains the history, the vocabulary, and the chemical mechanisms of how aromatherapy works in a style that is easy for the beginner to comprehend without insulting the educated intelligence. Her enthusiasm for the health benefits of essential oils shines through as she lovingly explains how aromatherapy can ease many health challenges and bring relief to the sufferer of a variety of conditions. Her integrity is displayed by her honest expressions of not only the scientifically verifiable benefits of aromatherapy, but its limitations and cautions against unwise use of the essential oils. If you are a beginner looking for a delightful, informative, enthusiastic guide to the wonderful world of aromatherapy, by someone who both loves the art AND who knows what she is talking about, this is the only book that fits the bill! Thanks, Larissa!
