 Excellent Reference Book February 5, 2010
C. A. Barber (Hartford, CT)
I refer to my Essential Oils Desk Reference nearly daily. Which oils to ingest or apply for various conditions? It's in there and it's easy. I use E.O. Desk Reference to teach workshops as well. Highly recommend it.

This book is associated with Young Living essential oils which is a multi-level pyramid type business. I do not own this book. The reason for this is that every aromatherapy teacher I have studied under has either never recommended this book or has a negative opinion of Young Living/Gary Young. Aromatics International, a company I trust since they provide a GC/MS report with each oil I buy from them as well as offer an intense clinical aromatherapy certification course, does not list this book in their book recommendations found here: [...]
I find that to be very telling.

There is some good technical content and are some interesting points covered in the book - historical perspectives from Germany, UK, and France, recipes, application techniques, health, diet, references, etc. However, there is very little related to the chemistry of the oils themselves (3 whole pages), how they compare to each other, and how they effect the body - which is what I was most interested in.
Chapter 1 - 6 and chapter 30 and the appendix were all very good, but the rest of the book was not!
There is too much focus on a specific manufacturer's products and oil blends (chapter 7 is useless, and chapter 9 is 30 pages on Ningxia Wolfberry - not sure what that is even doing in a book callled Essential Oils Desk Reference) and this leads one to feel ripped off. I would have preferred no specific blend info and none of the unrelated content as I don't use these oils since I have a less expensive source for comparable quality essential oils.

Love, Love Love this book! Only problem is that it does fall apart with frequent use so I would suggest getting 2 :)

I had purchased this product from another publishing company previously. I was impressed with the cost and no shipping costs from Amazon.com. It was purchased for a Christmas gift for my friend.
