Great book. At first flip through it doesn't look all that well layed out, but after reading through it the organization makes plenty of sense. Author has a cute sense of humor and the recipes are useful and well thought out. A great book for beginners and more advanced folks alike. Lots of great info. Great book for the homeopathy book shelf.

I absolutely *love* this book! I learned a lot about different kinds of remedies, when all I was really looking for was salves! It's very interesting to go through and 'pick apart' the recipes, gleaning information about the different ingredients and how they work for the specific ailments. The only thing I would suggest, if the book is ever re-done, is a more clear step-by-step on the making of some of these things. How you would prepare the different butters and clays for the recipes, ect.

For The Intermediate

Lots of easy recipes! Not for the beginner though. It's not a scientific book and won't teach you how to make your own but it's great for those who already read the scientific book on making the balms and tinctures and whatnot, but don't have the time to think about which products they want where and how they work.

Must Have For Anyone Getting Into Essential Oils

Excellent book if you are into or getting into essential oils and home remedies. I use this book quite often as the recipes are great, but the information provided is even better. Must have book for your homeopathic approach library.
