My Review

I’m impressed how Teri Secrest compiled the information in her book. I’ve read and looked over several books throughout the years on essential oils. This book reads easily and explained essential oils and such depth that made it enjoyable. She shares her personal journey of coming to the knowledge of essential oils. This would be a wonderful book for someone who is just exploring essential oils or even for long time users.

She does a wonderful job explaining what essential oils are. I love how she breaks down the process of distilling essential oils, different ways to use essential oils, and even the importance of quality essential oils. She even explains how to select brands but does not endorse a specific brand, essential oil blends, and other helpful advice. All the essential oils I recall reading about in here are singles and not blends.

The book is beautiful-strange to say and not something I usually say about a book. The photos and the placement of them and even the paper. The colors are really appealing to the eyes.

There are several scriptures throughout that talk about anointing oils. I found it interesting that she mentions that she mentions that there are over 500 scripture verses on plants and oils.

She breaks up the book with the essential oils with the 12 body systems: cardiovascular, digestive, endocrine, immune, integumentary, muscular, nervous, reproductive, respiratory, skeletal and urinary and goes on to explain essential oils that are useful for certain systems. She breaks each area up nicely with what the essential oil is useful for and gives you several options of essential oils. She explains in details what specific area it may be useful for. She has a nice reference in the back of the book.

Another area I found intriguing was using certain essential oils in recipes for cooking. I personally haven’t done used them in this manner. I used them in drinking water. She included several recipes.She even talks about a taboo subject of romance and essential oils. Don't worry it's nothing rated R but she talks about how certain oils can help certain issues for both male and female.

The layout of the book is nice and easy to find what you need. It’s very comprehensive and interesting. I enjoyed this book and learned several things about essential oils that we be useful for my family. Thank you Teri for a delightful and informative book.
