This one stands out for me. I reference it all the time. ~Unbiased: I like the fact that this book does not have any preference to an oil brand (no bias). ~Blends: The recipes are fairly simple and the author provides different blends to choose from. Although she doesn't mention why one blend would be used over another. I deduced the difference in blends myself as being: preference in an oil, oils you actually own, some oils may work better for you than others, oils that stimulate vs. relax i.e. daytime vs. nighttime use. I don't always have the oils for a certain blend, so I'll figure out substitutes from other blends listed. Sometimes guessing on amounts though. ~Calculations: Get your math on, because calculating dilutions involves math. She does give some help with that, but I definitely needed more. For example I wanted to use Neroli in a face blend, but I purchased a pre-diluted 10% one to save money on this very expensive oil. Adding the correct amount into a blend that calls for straight Neroli was tricky to calculate. ~Carrier oils: The description of carrier oils is very information and useful. I've tried a few out and there really is a difference depending on what you are using them for. ~Impressive face blends I'm VERY impressed with the Aging/Mature skin blends. You do have to use it daily for at least a month to see the difference. My face started looking way better - tone for one, really evened out. I look like I have an even tan, but without the darkening of the skin. Wow, wrinkles have gone way down. I couldn't believe the difference on my forehead, I kept looking in the mirror, wondering if I was seeing myself right - LOL. Around my eyes also was improved. I don't think the cosmetics companies want you know about this stuff. It is oily to put on, I use it at night, but it smells incredible (especially neroli which is orange blossom). I also use avocado oil (great smell) and rosehip oil is a winner, since it's the natural version of retinol. The other oil that works well (and fast) is lemon for sunspots - you see a difference within a few uses. Tea Tree of course is great and diluted 50% is the best treatment ever for acne. They shrink and diminish overnight and then lavender helps heal the skin back to normal. Many times they don't even come to a head. Another one the cosmetics company would not want you to know about. I've also used a headache blend, the female symptoms blends and love them. I honestly wasn't sure if these essential oils were just a 'sugar pill', but now I know how effective they are, many smell wonderful (not a fake chemical fragrance) and they have powerful effects of healing, relaxing or stimulating or balancing depending on the blend. Just a tip: I recommend purchasing from an online site that gives information on origin, distillation process and organic. Sometimes I'll test smell them at a local store, but I only purchase from companies that provide the sourcing and processing information about them. Review: great book - Beth your book is Amazing! For the price, I can't believe how much great information there is... Most recipes are for single use but could be made larger! Beth breaks down everything so it is easy to understand and because you are only making single use recipes, you won't be wasting your money if you don't like them! Then when you do find one you like, you can make more, just use common sense and keep it in the fridge if it is needed! I would definitely recommend this book.

A Must Have
Awesome easy to follow recipes. Very informative. Could use to expand or update on known warnings with some cautionary herb oils. A Must Have for beginners, with a little additional research as a precaution on oils that are cautioned about you'll do great. I've found most all ingredients and supplies for reasonable prices on-line at eBay, Amazon, and some on-line vendors. Nearest herb shops are 50 miles away and on-line prices are better without the waste of time and cost to commute. My orders are rolling in, can't wait to get started making personal products for self, and gifts for friends and family.

Purchased 600 Aromatherapy Recipes hoping to find some really good recipes for common ailments
Purchased 600 Aromatherapy Recipes hoping to find some really good recipes for common ailments, household and beauty uses but this book is somewhat disappointing. At least half of the book goes over very basic essential oil topics, which is good if you are a total novice but not something I expected In a recipe book, especially since the information is extremely basic and is what you could obtain from the Internet for free within just a few minutes. The recipes are ok, but it certainly doesn't seem like there are '600' of them. What the book does is list an ailment, typical essential oils used for that ailment, then a few options, or 'recipes' . That's it. It doesn't go into details as to beśt application method, suggested dosage and duration, application tools (diffuse, rollerball, rub, etc), and this is where the books lacks substance, in my opinion. I gave this a 3-star review because it does have recipes, describes basics of essential oils, offers a few variations of each recipe, and the recipes do actually work - at least the ones I've tried. I just wish there were more recipes with detailed usage instructions. This is an ok book to have in your library, it just isn't as robust as I thought it was going to be.
