I returned this book
Already have 3 books about essential oils and wanted this because of the vast information (over 800 essential oils recipes) and yes it's mostly about oil blends recipes for different conditions or diseases (well, we could come up with thousands of recipes) However, this book boast a very unattractive presentation and poor layout. I would prefer a book that provides plants and herbs pictures for proper identification them listing its properties, health benefits and cures. In the same manner, it would be nice to have a reference of the essential oils and diseases that you can actually read....Yes, you will need a magnifying glass to read that section. Most of the context specially at the beginning are loads of information about diseases and other elemental and general information about essential oils that you can easily access through the web. If you have basic knowledge about this subject you will find the beginning of this book worthless. I'm interested in Homeopathy, Ayurveda, and overall Natural Cures but this didn't do it for me. Although, I think Valerie Ann Worwood is knowledgeable about this subject, I think the method design or procedure taken to deliver such important information in this book was poorly done. Yes, there is a better systematic order and approach to this read.
