DESCRIPTION:
Beware to anyone new to aromatherapy The recipes in this book are careless at best. The amounts of essential oils recommended in comparison to base oils are extremely excessive. And the pet formulas are even more horrifying, especially when you take into consideration the sensitivity of an animal's skin. I have been studying herbs and oils for 8 years now, and I know that a true essential oil is a concentrated form of a plants essence. That means it takes VERY LITTLE essential oil to accomplish a lot. The waste encouraged by these recipes is only one thing to be worried about. I'd be afraid to recommend any recipe in this book as is. . "The Little Giant Encyclopedia of Aromatherapy" according to A Customer. Very informative little book. It is small (height) but it makes up for it in the mass of information it has within it's pages. The Little Giant Encyclopedia of Aromatherapy is a wonderful little book to have, and so easy to toss in your purse for extended reading while waiting at the Doctors office or at the kids baseball games :) We found it to be really well written, very informative, and easy to read. It contains so much on aromatherapy that you almost don't need to buy any other books.. Mad Miss Fae said This book should be removed from shelves. It's full of dangerously bad advice.. A friend of mine gave me this book several years ago. The recipes in this book are careless, dangerous to anyone who does not know that many of the formulas are excessive, and over all I would consider it to be a potentially hazardous guide. It's full of bad advice, and frankly needs to be removed from the shelves so no one hurts themselves or their animals by following the authors' bad advice. I will never buy books by David or Carol Schiller, because they promote waste and dangerous, unethical use of essential oils with no regard to the plant matter it takes to make the oils, or the risks.
