Here's the "Beef" and the Secret Ingredients too!

This is an excellent reference manual for anyone seriously interested in Essential Oils and those willing to study. This is no "airy fairy"new age book on aromatherapy, but he does take the reader from the third dimensional reality (as best we understand it) into the quantum field of "energy" and ultimately into the "Mystery of life," co-incidence, and expanded consciousnous. Masterfully done and it is obvious that this author really loves chemistry. He successfully makes organic chemistry understandable to the lay person while retaining the excitement and enjoyment that organic chemistry and plant physiology holds for those with Universtiy degrees in the subject. His discussion of optical isometry is pure delight. Just wait (if you can) to see what Dill and Spearmint have in common. What you learn from this experience goes far beyond just the study of chemistry. Whatever your religious or spiritual beliefs, don't let the sub-title stop you from this rewarding experience. My personal experience for over 10 years working with therapeutic essential oils has increased my appreciation for this great reference manual and I do use it in my work. He thoroughly understands and teaches the traditional scientific "box" but then leads you beyond the restrictions of this "box" streatching your assumptions to "entertain" the field of all potentialities. You may well undergo your own personal paradigm shift. ENJOY!

A Must Have Book!

This thorough, easy to read, eloquent book provides an unmistakable glimpse of God's love for each of us as evidenced even in something as tiny as molecules and the basic elements of creation. Scripturally based, Dr. David Stewart's book blends science and religion, chemistry and a deep love for God, in such a way that entertains and inspires, while it educates and answers questions about how essential oils work, why they work, and the profound healing effects available to us through prayer, faith and God-created essential oils. Offering wonderful annecdotes of scientific discovery, an exceptional index, cross-referenced and cross-indexed tables of botanical names, common names, chemical compositions, and much more, this is a must have reference for anyone interested in essential oils.

Finally a simple explaination even I understand!

David Stewart is a brilliant man who with such love and care has written a book for us everyday people to really begin to have a comprehensive understanding about the absolute power of therapeutic grade essential oils. I of course will only choose to use Young Living oils which are the finest of the finest oils I have ever used. This book is so helpful to understand how the oils work on the many different levels. God put everything we would ever need for health and longevity in nature and David Stewart's book shows us how! Thank you!
