Aromatherapy and essential oils are more popular than ever, as more and more people discover that concentrated aromatics can be used in a therapeutic way, to address imbalances in our bodies that can lead to poor health.
Cold and flu season is here with a vengeance and if like my friends, you;re on your 3rd or 4th go around in your house (schools=growth labs for germs), then prescription meds may be taking longer and longer to provide ease of your families symptoms!
That is where aromatherapy and essential oils can come! Providing relief NATURALLY!
Synopsis:
In this perfect companion book to your favorite diffuser, Karin teaches you how to diffuse essential oils, from ammi to ylang ylang, to improve your physical, mental and emotional health and to destress your time, your work space and even your car.
Part 1 covers the history of aromatherapy, explains the different types of diffusers and teaches you how to choose, use and store essential oils.
Part 2 provides detailed instructions on diffusing essential oils to treat various health conditions and offers over 160 formulas for specialized oil blends.
Review:
If you've read this blog for any time, you know that we have long been all about essential oils for one simple reason- they work! In this modern age, we treat every symptom with medication, to a point, where they may no longer work, or you may build up an intolerance for them.But the right combination of oils can frequently give you the same relief of symptoms, WITHOUT the possible future consequences, IF handled properly. And that is what this book gives you- a proper manual on the use of, and how to handle essential oils AND diffusing for most common medical issues.
This is a very solid book- the author does a great job in showing how herbs and oils have been used practically since modern history began, and how they were the original 'prescribed meds'! From there she discussed the different types of diffusing (you may never look at a chair the same way again, LOL). Then she gives you a thorough guide to each of the most commonly used herbs/flowers/oils, and their properties, before she gets into the combinations and how to use them. she really has covered just about every medical situation you need at home, to use your oils for, and a few you may never thought of. her 'recipes' are spot on. Some were ones I already use, others like the sample below, were very similar, and her changes to them, were as or more effective, than mine!
This is a very solid starter book and I would HIGHLY recommend including it in ANY gift set including essential oils and/or a diffuser! it would be a great Valentine's Day gift, as it's one that will keep on giving!
