Aromatherapy: Essential Oils in Colour

I use this book all the time in my aromatherapy studies. No matter how many other books I read, I always come back to this one for it's well presented, easy format, quick to reference information of a most important, but often overlooked type. A broader spectrum, updated version would be more than welcome, but in the meantime, don't hesitate to buy this book of essential chemcal info.

A really great book, I love learning about aromatherapy and this has added another level of depth to my knowledge. I like that I can instantly see the profile between relaxing/ calming oils and stimulating ones. It also makes it easier to compare to similar 'relaxing' oils to see which has the highest levels of esters.

This book is packed full of useful information, it includes the profiles for 90 different essential oils, each oil is listed both in a comprehensive index and illustrated alphabetically throughout the book. A Caddy profile shows, at a glance, the chemical constituents of every individual oil listed in the book by using a colour for each chemical, which when viewed appears very much like a pie chart. There is a small section on the human body systems along with a list of chemical families and how they can benefit each system. There are also clear instructions on how to interpret the profiles which makes it a useful reference book for novices and qualified aromatherapists alike.

Great book for aromatherapists, probably not worth getting unless you know the chemicals in each oil - not a beginners book I don’t think

Very good
