It is a new approach to nature through one of its most powerful forms--those fragrant 'essential oils' drawn from flowers and grasses, trees and roots, leaves and fruit, that remain the great untapped resources of our planet.

One of the most holistic of all systems of medicine, the oils can alleviate symptoms, prevent many illnesses and disorders and help in thier healing process. But more than that, they can provide all of us--our families, our homes, even our pet--with the protection and pleasures we need...without the chemical pollution of our bodies or our environment.

It is a treasury of information about precious life-and health-enhancing liquids that work in complex harmony with people and planet alike. Here is a comprehensive encyclopaedia of 'medicines out of the earth', those miracles of creation which revitalise and rejuvenate, enhance our emotions and help our work and play. It charts out for all of us a fragrant way to family health and home delights.

USER REVIEWS
"I have used many of Valerie's recipes for many years (on a personal level) and have been delighted and have greatly benefited from the results. So the conditioner on page 200 is the first one that hasn't 'worked' and I wonder why? I am the sort of girl that meticulously counts out 6 grains of salt if that is what the recipe says so I followed her conditioner recipe exactly. The problem? Well, the instructions say to rinse off and I did, hmmm and did again, and did again. Sticky, greasy hair still described my dark locks. I tried the Vinegar rinse. I then resorted to shampooing off (which Valerie advises for some of the other conditioners) which resulted in only slightly less sticky, greasy hair. Still not able to go out into the world arena. My hair felt yuk!
It was only when I washed my hair again, (this time with a commercial shampoo) that I was able to remove the residual oil of the conditioner.
Disappointing and extremely time consuming. Thank goodness I wasn't washing my hair prior to a big night out.
Can any 'guru' out there help me with this? Is there a misprint in the book? I love making my own personal care products and want to make my own conditioner as well. Please advise. Thank you!"
