Customer Reviews

Every family should have a copy!
This is clear, informative and comprehensive. Liz Earle is adept at explaining her research and what she has discovered at first hand, after weighing up all the evidence. It is good to see a first-rate reference book that covers so many areas of our health / lifestyle. She has always been ahead of her time and has achieved another excellent 'encyclopedia'. I find this great for dipping into, as necessary. I keep coming back for more gems! Highly recommended.

Vital Reading!
New Vital Oils is a truly absorbing read. Whether you want to just 'dip in' to key sections (I found the information relating to the development of babies and the role of oils in beauty particularly interesting), or explore whole new areas, this book really does make it easy to understand and learn about this fascinating subject. Whatever your age, I think everyone can benefit from this essential 'bible' - a must for anyone interested in the health of their family and themselves. The list of useful resources at the back is also extremely handy if you want to get more specifics about a particular topic.

Interesting but not as good as previous edition
I bought this copy after reading the previous version from the library and who knew oils were so interesting? I was particularly interested in their use for skin care and for this I must say I preferred the older edition which contained recipes. presumably , since Ms earle sells her products these days she did not feel the need to include them this time. There was also a much expanded section on essential oils but I have other dedicated books on this subject. A good introduction overall though.
