4 Stars The Chemistry of Essential Oils Made Simple
This is an excellent book for people who want to know why Therapeutic Grade Essential Oils are so effective. It explains how they work and how to understand which oils will be effective for each specific problem. It’s a well written book, clearly written by a master of the art of Essential Oils and the science of chemistry.
5 Stars Definitive Book On Essential Oils
I have yet to find any book written in English that can replace the exhaustive scientific information available on essential oils in this one. The size of this book may prove formidable to some. If you hated chemistry in school, you may find the scientific chapters breaking down each essential oil’s properties tedious. However, the writer is a talented educator and interjects not only appropriate humor but fascinating lore into every paragraph. There are basic chapters on techniques and useage of essential oils, primarily in theory form, but not “recipes” or treatments for specific ailments. The book is prefaced by thorough reviews of most of the competently written, available books on the subject. I would have preferred this material at the back of the book as reference material in order to jump right into the subject. You may wish to take note of that fact and move past those reviews initially. Anyone who intends a thorough understanding of essential oils and essential oil useage MUST read this book as it is a virtual college education on the subject in a manual. Laymen practitioners should read, own and periodically review this book to remain competent in practice. This book is the Merck manual PLUS of Essential Oils, IMHO.
5 Stars using for Raindrop therapy
I got this book because I am taking Raindrop therapy class in a few weeks. I started reading and love how it is written. I am understanding the chemistry of essential oils. I have learned so much about how the French and British School look at EO differently. It list other book and reviews them and lets you know if you need to purchase them or not. Love the book.
4 Stars Chemistry of Essential Oils Made Simple
I could not put this book down. Finished it in a couple of days. The first section gives even the uninitiated a good understanding of the molecules that work in the essential oils. The second section provides lots of charts, grouping, naming, describing the oils, their constituents and how they are used. The final section is worth working through the first two sections for. Dr. Stewart goes beyond basic chemistry to the ideas of quantum physics and spiritual understanding of what lies behind the mechanics of the molecules. He also gives references and reviews of several other books and studies of other scientists and researchers. This is an excellent book for anyone who loves essential oils and is interested in learning about how God designed them to work!
2 Stars A lot of information, but not all correct
Dr. Stewart is not chemist, nor knows chemistry so well, therefore he made several errors in this book. Although he collected a lot of information, not all materials are well-reviewed nor verified. His explanation about the transformation of matricin(he calles it matricene) to chamazulen is incorrect, the classification of terpinen-4-ol as phenolic compound is invalid, let alone the false chemical formulas of chamazulen and terpinen-4-ol.
His preaching reduces the professional quality of the book. What a pity ! A book is recommended for beginners and for professionals who has no ideas about chemistry. For those who have good background, it is a good book to pick up information and to verify it on one’s own.
