Customer Reviews

Best Aromatherapy Book I've found!

This book is intelligent and easy to read. I didn't know what aromatherapy was and I learned that there are many easy at home remedies that I could use on my family that really worked. We try to avoid taking anti-biotics whenever possible. Ms. Ericksen's book keeps us in a lovely state of well being. When will she write another book? Soon I hope. Cindy Nelson, San Francisco, CA

Excellent book

THis book is excellent. It is especially good for beginners in aromatherapy. Loads of information & recipes.

A wonderful wealth of wisdom!

I was not very familiar with aromatherapy when I first read this book. Then, as I did more research, I realized that this power-packed volume contains everything that either a novice or experienced aromatherapist needs to know. From how aromatherapy works to how essentials oils are extracted, from safety and toxicity to a complete Materia Medica -- it's all here, and more! Ericksen clearly knows of what she speaks. She wisely guides the reader through the use and storage of essential oils, covering nearly every application, including aromatherapy for children, the frail or elderly, common ailments, and women's needs. There are countless recipes, a glossary, and a list of resources. You will come away from this book feeling that you know what you are doing and are ready to treat your (or your friends' and loved ones') specific conditions with confidence. Although not a big book, it is encyclopedic in its scope of information. Healing With Aromoatherapy is not a book to collect dust on your shelf -- you'll use it and refer to it endlessly.
