 My Thoughts:

My family has been trying more natural remedies for medical issues the last few years. I have been exploring essential oils quite a bit lately. I was thrilled to get my hands on this book.

This is a softbound book with 320 pages. There are 17 Chapters broken down into 3 parts
Part 1: Essential Oils Revolution- 

Part 1 has 6 Chapters that goes over everything from the basic tools and techniques to stocking and expanding your medicine cabinet. There is also a quick start guide in this section.

I like that he has a lot of good information with where to start. I could have used this book a few years ago. 

There is a lot of great information in Part 1 if you’re new to essential oils.
Part 2: Dr. Z’s Recommended Oils for Every Occasion.

6 chapters are dedicated to this part. This section gets into the oil recipes from your basic recipes, around the house, healing yourself, athletes, and even using recipes on your four legged family members. I was thrilled to see a section on animals. 

Part 3: Women’s Health

This has 5 chapters which cover Premenstrual Syndrome, fertility, pregnancy, and labor, postpartum, nursing. There is a whole chapter dedicated to the dreaded Candida and Autoimmunity. The last chapter covers permenopause, menopause, and postmenopause.

The Appendix has a lot of references and a section for recommended resources.
I like that he covers things like what is the differences in some essential oils like a bark of leaf. What about how long are essentials oils good for? I have some that I use once in awhile while other I use all the time. 

Dr. Z covers the differences with topical and ingesting them. This really cleared up some information for me. Another great source of information was the different types of carrier oils. It was quite a bit of information that I would have liked to have this information when I first started it would have saved a lot of time.  This really made me understand all the carrier oils.

There are over 150 recipes and remedies. I am not essential oil expert but, I don’t want to be either. I just want to be able to continue to care for my family with them. I have had some good results in the last few years with essential oils. Some of the oils get costly and I try to have some specific oils on hand for our needs. I found out some beneficial recipes and oils that I should stock up on. 

Overall, this is a great book for my needs and I’m grateful to have it in my library.
