Customer Reviews

What an exceptional book.
This has to be the best book available on Essential Oil Chemistry. As the author states, it is not new information, but it is written in a clear, concise, absorbing, user friendly fashion. I have bought chemistry books for essential oils before and found them very hard work and frankly boring.

I especially like the aromafacts that are incorporated into each chapter.

This book should be part of the core curriculum, for all IFPA accredited colleges and all AOC recognised courses.

As a practicing Clinical Aromatherapist this book will be much used as a point of reference. For all student Aromatherapists this book will be a life line.

Essential chemistry for safe Aromatherapy
It made trying to understand chemicals easier having not been at school scince '76 and having forgotten everything in science class. I found it useful and did use it for revision reference. My I.T.E.C exam did ask about curtain chemicals and what they did, so a little more info in that area would have been good and the aroma info was very helpful,a must have book.
