User Ratings and Reviews
4 Stars Well Done Reference
Well-done reference guide with good cross-referenceing of indications, oils, contraindications, etc. There are a few oils missing from the detailed reference area, but overall this is my favorite book on the subject – and worth the cost. Nice clinical study citations, too.
