Essential Oils: Essential Oils For Beginners How to Use Essential Oils To Heal Your Body And Treat Your Hair, Skin And Mind

The heart of this concise guide is in the subtitle: How to Use Essential Oils To Heal Your Body and treat your hair, skin and mind.Where many books on the market tell you how to make your own essential oils, this one is about how to apply oils and blends of oils for specific purposes. The antibacterial, antifungal and antioxidant properties of essential oils are explained and about 60 recipes are given for combinations for such purposes as skin treatments, including for acne, psoriasis, eczema as well as for more cosmetic purposes like face scrubs, stretch marks, age spots and general skin care.Though the page count is low, the wealth of information is very worthwhile. The book starts out by explaining what essential oils are and where they come from, then gives safety advice and instructions on how to apply them effectively. Links to further information or lists of oils for specific purposes are included as well as links to lists of oils that are safe for children, babies or pregnant women.How to perform an allergy test is one of the pieces of essential information included that is often lacking in books on essential oils. There are responsible warnings about toxic oils, some of which surprised me as I have experience in herbalism and some herbs that are relatively safe are apparently too concentrated in oil form.The recipes included treatments for itchy skin, constipation, fever, varicose veins,sinusitis, sore throat bacteria, intestinal ailments, mouth ulcers and stress relief. Quite a lot to pack into a small volume! They go on to include several blends for hair loss or tangles as well as oily or dry hair treatments.I will definitely be trying several of the recipes in this book and do not hesitate to recommend it to anyone who is interested in natural heath care and cosmetology.

Very happy with this book great ideas how to use essential oils to make your own lotions just what I needed to start with

Fabulous little book full of great information on Esential Oils. Would highly recommend it.
