"If I had pulled this book off the shelf before buying it, I wouldn't have bought it."

"I own an Aromatherapy Bodywork business and I really found this book useful. In previous years all I had access to were books with less specified subject matter. The Advanced Aromatherapy book is much more detailed especially if you wish to take your understanding of essential oils to a much higher level. I gave it a five star reting! "

"Very useful aromatherapy guide. It is intensely scientific...particularly the 2nd chapter entitled "Essential Oils - Definition and Distillation"; bored me out of my mind. It has a wonderful chapter on self-treatment and all the precautions with a guide of all the essential oils and their uses. I am glad I bought it, however I am sure there are better guides out there.

"I really love books on aromatherapy that approach essential oils from a less chemistry oriented viewpoint, but I also have an interest in the more scientific aspects of oils, and Schnaubelt's book definitely falls in that category. Schnaubelt's book is relatively brief (138 pages, including the index), too, so one need not fear becoming too enmeshed in chemical names and structures, and his PhD in chemistry provides a rather unique perspective that sheds even more light on these lovely natural products. My only complaint is his seeming contradiction of himself when discussing what constitutes a "physiologic dosage.""
