Earthly Bodies & Heavenly Hair: Natural and Healthy Personal Care for Every Body

"I was looking for a book to teach myself how to make my own skin-care products. This book does just that. I have used several recipes - which I usually "tweak" to my own preferences. I've recommended it to many family/friends."

"I thoroughly enjoyed this book and have tried many of the recipes in it. Many of the tips and recipes are wonderful and it is nice because there is a section devoted to teens, men, elders, etc. But, I have to disagree with her suggestion to put butter on a burn - very very bad to do (put your burn under cold water instead!). Otherwise I very much enjoy the book, and it is a very useful part of my library now."

"My plan for getting this book was to make a hand and body lotion that actually works for me. I've tried over 10 of these recipe's and I can't say that I'm disappointed. I've spent hours and hours pouring over the info in this book and it's all sound advice. It gives you enough knowledge to even make your own concoctions. The only thing I'm not truly happy with is the recommendations in the back on where to get your ingredients. Take my advice and get them at Majestic Mountain Sage in Logan Utah. Also, check out the internet for other recipe's. All in all this is a good book....especially for the price."

"I purchased this book several months ago and it has quickly become the favorite in my natural body care book collection. I enjoy it so much that after I somehow lost it, I purchased another! Ms. Falconi seems very sincere in home-crafting and nature and her desire to help others to understand and learn the art. She really knows her stuff and does an excellent job explaining techniques to making herbal infusions, tintures, infused oils, salves and balms, using aromatherapy oils, powders, and creams. She also has succinct deffinitions for some of the major herbs and essential oils. The information in this book is very hands on and less scientific. If you're looking for chemical structures and such... this isn't the book. I have made several of the recipes and have loved them all... so have my friends and coworkers! Recipes are grouped by type of use: Facial care, Lip, mouth and tooth care, Hair and scalp, Whole Body treatments, Hands and feet, Especially for women, Especially for men, Especially for teens, Especially for babies, Especially for elders, and First aid. I have found that the recipes I've used so far very much accomplish the stated/desired effect. I really can't rave enough about the recipes and the directions on how to make them! I believe anyone who wants to make safe,superior, poison and petroleum free body care products will thoroughly enjoy this book! Good Luck!"
