Make Your Own Essential Oils from Raw Plants: Using Oils & Herbs for Optimum Health

Saves you money essential oils are expensive

I am a big fan of using Essential Oils but with a garden full of beautiful herbs and plants such as Lavender, Rosemary, Sage and Patchouli I have often wondered if making my own oils was within reach!This book answered this and so much more! Often the books you find free or low cost of the Kindle are short, very basic and sometimes poorly written -this was not the case here! This was an exceptional piece of writing and the author clearly knows, loves and enjoys sharing the subject matter!This book is a very comprehensive guide to essential oils and though I own several books on this topic, this had far more useful information that I had not seen covered in other publications. It begins with a detailed description of Essential Oils -their history, use from Antiseptics to other ailments and conditions, how to administer (this was particularly thorough as oils can be problematic is not used carefully) and ends with how to prepare a medicine chest with essential oils, preparation of salves and syrups, and using oils for beauty or teas. This is all in addition to the subject matter of making your own oils!The book also helped me in understanding how I could make my own -from how to gather and preserve plants one would use in making these oils, to the equipment needed (along with useful links and tips to find further information) and a guide to several methods to making your own essential oils - again with links to video tutorials. It has a simply step by step guide for even novices like myself. I also particularly liked the guide to plants and which parts are used in essential oil making as well as how they can be used to treat various ailments!Well written comprehensive guide that is so much more than the title suggests!

Much more worth the price of this book. I have used it yet but will. Good information.

Product as described. Fair price

Great information for a first time learner about essential oils from raw plants thank you.

Nice addition to my collection. Very informative and arrived in great condition.

I already knew most of this information. I bought it to learn HOW to distill my own essential oils and that was only a very small part of the book.
