Review of Aromatherapy: Soothing Remedies to Restore, Rejuvenate and Heal (Paperback)

This was the first book I puchased on aromatherapy, and I must say that it is the best book I have read!!! Not only does she include recipes, she also includes the essential oil reference guide, which is my favorite part,because she gives you a breakdown of not only the origin name, but what thephysical and the psycho-emotional benefits are to the essential oils. Shealso gives you a headstart on how to make your own formulas, by including ablending chart. Please pick up this book, if not any other book.

Product Description

Review of Heinerman's Encyclopedia of Healing Herbs & Spices (Paperback)

Heinerman gives a listing of herbs or illnesses, so you can look up eithereasily. Also, he gives ways of preparing the remedy yourself for each herb/spice. This is incredibly helpful because I can make my own remedies without having to for a manufactured version. No irritating 'take so much of this standardized pill containing only these certain parts' here. One of the remedies for sore throat was a sage tea. Heinerman gave the exact quantities of water, herbs, etc to use. It tastes gross (like pine sap) but it works super fast. I used it after I got strep throat for the 4th time in a year and was tired of going on antibiotics just to get a new infection a few weeks later. The sage knocked it out for good! Very good resource if you want practical info on which herbs to use on certain ailments and how to prepare them.
