5 Stars well worth it
I took an aromatherapy weekend seminar as an introductory to this fascinating subject. Was I surprised as to how interesting and versitile aromatherapy is. As a mother of 4 young children,I have always used natural medicine as a first priority and this has saved us many trips to the doctor and many doses of unwarranted antibiotics. I did not realize the potential that essential oils possess until I took the seminar. I bought this book after I took the seminar and have used it lots especially the oil blends for respiratory problems. I also have used her other book called The Fragrant Pharmacy and this book is LOADED with information. This lady knows her oils and is one of the best there is.You won’t regret buying it!
5 Stars Best Blending Guide I own, and I own over 30 books
I Love this book, I use it for all memebers of my family.
Its not just for kids, each blend can be used on anyone.
I love the science of EOs, however this book doesnt offer that info on it, but does offer the BEST BLENDS I have ever used.
I know what each oil does, and even when I am sure of what oils I am going to use I find myself opening this book and each oil I have thought on my own to use because I know how great it is for a certain condition, is the oils she has mentioned to use.
Plus the ease of finding what you are need to a blend for is great. The A to Z type of format is wonderful.
As I mentioned I am aware of each oils chemical makeup and find this book to give the best oil for each conditoin.
This is a MUST HAVE. You will be so PLEASED.
Plus make sure to blend up the room disfect spray. I love this spray and use to so often.
BUY this BOOK you will always find yourself going to it.
5 Stars GREAT BOOK… GREAT TOOL
I absolutely love this book. I have both books by her and use them both and find myself refering to this one alot more. I even use it on myself and it works wonderfully. There are cures for almost everything in here… Like I said I love this book!!! I really don’t need another baby/kids book because it’s all here.
5 Stars Excellent for children
This book was worth the price for the “sniffles and snuffles” recipe alone! A single drop of that remedy and my chronically ear-infected, sinus infected child 18 month old easily without any cough syrup (which upsets his stomach violently).
This book is an excellent reference for those wishing to use essential oils on children. It breaks the oils for use down by age and each recipe gives allowable substitutions, so you can tailor it for the child with whom you are working.
I use both of Ms. Wormwood books extensively. She generously shares her knowledge and her craft.
4 Stars Helpful
Unlike Worwoods other book The Complete Book of Essential Oils and Aromatherapy: Over 600 Natural, Non-Toxic and Fragrant Recipes to Create Health – Beauty – a Safe Home Environment, the oils she suggests in this one are difficult to come by. I have used many of her suggestions for other modalities and have found them helpful.
Essential oils are one of the world’s great untapped resources. This complete volume explains how to incorporate these ancient medicines of the earth into everyday life for personal care, physical and mental health, and a safe home environment. It gives more than 500 recipes using essential oils as alternatives to often toxic human-made health, beauty, and cleaning products.
5 Stars great resource
As a massage Therapist this is a great resource to my practice, and for anyone else looking for the natural cure for most elements. Love it! I refer to it almost daily:)
1 Star Poison for the Cat
I was excited to get this book – until I turned to the chapter on cats. The advice there flys in the face of well-documented information about feline metabolism and liver function. The veterinary sources I consulted told me following this advice could likely KILL YOUR CAT. And, that’s enough to discredit the entire work. I would not recommend this book or anything else by this author.
5 Stars learning smells
Adding aroma threapy to my dog grooming has both the dogs and I a lot happy time while grooming. This book has also helped to learning what oils are good for flea control and a calmer happier pet.
4 Stars great book.
This book opens a window for me to a whole new world. I have used a lot of the recipes it offers and they work! Now I am sooooo intrested in essential oils that I even consider it as my career now, isn’t that amazing? The only down side is if you really try to use some of the recipes mentioned in this book, you almost need to get all of the oils. Sometimes, missing one or two can be very frustrating, however oils can be expired in a short time.
5 Stars new to aromatherapy
I thought the book was very detailed with quite a few easy to follow recipes. I loved that there were alternative oils listed for the recipes. I am new to aromatherapy and thought it great for a beginner.

2 Stars Not enough information to fully understand aromatherapy
This book did not explain enough about aromatherapy for me to understand the the full extent of how to mix diffrent essential oils. It is a good and helpful book but it wasn’t enough for me.
4 Stars Good
This was a good book for my research; wasn’t what I thought it would be.
5 Stars Everything you need to know about aromatherapy!
I’ve gotten several different herbal books, books on all things magick but this book tells you everything you need to know. You get plant names, how to use them, what element they are and more! Scott Cunningham was an amazing author and this was one of his most important for natural healing.
5 Stars Magical Aromatherapy
A short history of aromatherapy, how to use oils and herbs, a list of 100 plants and their magical properties. This book is easy to read and Scott Cunningham also give warnings about allergies and reactions to oils. A very responsible author who firmly believes in what he has written.A very useful book for your own spellwork.
5 Stars Potent Reading on Magickal Scents from a Little Book by Scott Cunningham
At first,i thought this book would ’stink’.There is nothing malodorous about this good small book.Cunningham has a way of writing that is cosy and informative.I read this at two sittings,over the weekend.He provides many historical examples throughout the book.There’s an excellent glossary and extensive appendixes for further reading on the aromatherapy topic.And the crux and heart of the book,is the one hundred plus pages of the magickal powers and uses of the aromas.My only beef with the book,is that it has no colorful pictures provided or product pictures shown.So,you would have to investigate further at your metaphysical shoppe,before you start wildly buying the various herbs,oils, and spices.For beginning new-agers around,this magickal aroma book is an excellent starting point on your quest towards healthier living .

5 Stars Fantastic Book for Your Health
Health and Beauty from the Rainforest is filled with rich history about Malaysia. You will learn all about the people, cultures and medicinal ways.
The way the people treat their beauty, mind, body and soul is amazing. I love that they use all natural things from the rainforest. (I am now actually jealous I do not live there!) Everyone could learn a lot from them in this fantastic book.
The book is absolutely stunning as it is filled with breathtaking photos. The photos help you get even more understanding out of it.
I highly recommend this book to anyone who likes learning about history and wants to live a healthier life.
5 Stars Herbal Care and the Rainforest!
My interest in Malaysian culture was piqued after watching Andrew Zimmern’s Bizarre Foods on TV. I decided to go to Amazon.com and see if they had anything on the subject. This book stood out amongst the rest. It not only teaches us of the Malaysian traditions, but also the traditions of ramuan “healing mixture of medicinal plants and plant parts”. The book lists the various plants and herbs in the rainforest, along with their healing properties. There is also a botanical glossary which gives us the local name of the plant, the scientific name, and other names the plant is known by. For instance, lets take buah pala, its scientific name is myristica fragrans, It is more commonly known as nutmeg. Of course, now I wonder how it got the name nutmeg. Was Meg acting goofy when she ate the plant?
Whoever picked out the photos in this book did a spectacular job. They are gorgeous! I especially liked the photos of the people and the rainforest. If you are into geography, cultures, medicinal healing, or just like to look at beautiful photos, then I give this book a big thumbs up!
5 Stars Educational Health Advise from Malaysia
I found information in this book to be both educational and informative. It would be very beneficial to introduce some of these health and beauty aids into our lives. Beautifully written and excellently presented with beautiful glossy photos.
