Critics Review

“An impressive and comprehensive presentation of what essential oils are, how they work, and how to use them, not only for physical illnesses but also on the psycho-emotional level. A great book on essential oils!” * Christopher Vasey, ND, author of Natural Antibiotics and Antivirals *
“… offers a beautiful bridge between the science of aromatherapy and esoteric application. Godfrey presents a truly holistic approach that explores how to support the whole self, from the physical to the emotional and spiritual.” * Candice Covington, author of Essential Oils in Spiritual Practice *
“A lovely book packed full of information about the form and function of the human body and the ways essential oils can interact with it. This book builds on the author’s previous work, Essential Oils for Mindfulness and Meditation, to create an invaluable guide for those who wish to understand essential oils and use them creatively and safely.” * Sophie Olszowski, PhD, director of SPZ Associates Ltd. *
“In times when most aromatherapists are going back to using simple recipes based on the biomedical paradigm, this book opens up another way of looking at topical applications and absorption dynamics. These areas are actually more complex than mechanical interpretation allows and require a book with a holistic, and even spiritual, background combined with scientific insight. It will surely build stronger relationships with the ‘whole body.’” * Martin Henglein, naturopath, aromatherapist, and osmologist *
“This book focuses on just 15 essential oils to comprise a ‘tool kit’ that treats a broad range of ailments. The profiles take an in-depth approach, pulling in science and safety while discussing how the oils complement and support each other to treat body systems. Pathways essential oils use in the body are explained for a better understanding of dilutions, safety, and methods of application. Charts and tables point to selecting the appropriate oil in each situation. Appropriate treatments are given for pregnancy, cancer, children, and the elderly. There are only a few formulas, but plenty of very useful charts throughout the book aid in creating them.” * American Herb Association Quarterly *
