The Essential Guide to Massage


The Essential Guide to Massage
Customer Review: Two DVDs for the value of one
This two DVD set covers more than just massage, in case you happen to believe in aromatherapy, acupressure and reflexology.

On the plus side, all the massage techniques are performed long enough for those new to massage to grasp them. Head, feet, and facial are covered, along with body. Camera work is adequate if not inspired, and the video quality is good. While one gets the “what could be expected in an institutional setting” feeling when watching, this is a video for the whole family, something one can’t say for some other massage videos.

On the minus side, some things are repeated. One sees essentially the same complete back massage three times, in different places on the DVDs. There is a menu mixup between arm massage and chest and neck massage. Whoever laid out the DVDs was not a friend of logic.

As for the massage itself, it somehow doesn’t look that enjoyable. The draping, for the most part, would be acceptable to a nun, and it causes definite breaks in the massage. The techniques look very rule-bound, which I suppose goes along with the instructional nature, but I watched a masseuse miss the same part of the back over and over, just to follow a pattern.

All in all, you could learn to massage someone from this DVD set. Just don’t pay too much.

Customer Review: Charming book
This is a charming book on aromatherapy, written in a conversational style. You can imagine sitting with a friend in a tea-shop where she is telling you how this or that essential oil helped so and so with such and such a problem. This makes book very easy to read and the stories make it easy to remember what essential oil may be helpful for treating particular issue. While the focus of the book is on essential oils which are helpful for issues related to women such as pms, pregnancy, childbirth, breastfeeding, it covers many issue related to both sexes, such as weight loss, skin care, hair care, sexually transmitted diseases and general ailments like headache, stomachache, infections, etc. At the end of the book there are about 16 pages with recipes related to issues mentioned previously in the book. This is a rather small book, perhaps more geared toward newcomers to aromatherapy, though the anecdotal stories make it for an informative and fun reading for anyone.
Customer Review: A wonderful guide… but not always to aromatherapy
This was one of my very first aromatherapy books, because it is relatively inexpensive, and likewise relatively small and non-threatening. It has more the feel of a friendly guide than some obscure textbook. I still use it on a very regular basis, even though I’ve also added a number of more advanced books to my repertoire. It is, on the whole, indeed very useful for women (and can be for men as well, of course!) It covers a wide range of women’s-interest subjects, from home and body care, to pregnancy and infants ailments. The information for men is not as prevalent (as indicated in the title, of course) but many things that apply to women apply to men as well. Most of the information is very thorough, but it can sometimes be hard to get to the ‘meat’ of what you are looking for. It is written in a very ‘friendly’, anecdotal style, which although easier reading than more ‘technical’ books, can make it difficult to find the key things you are looking for. The recommended essential oils are always in bold text, however, so that does at least partially negate this problem. Another issue I had with it was the fact that some of the subjects she speaks about, there is NO essential oil information at all. This would not trouble me nearly as much, except for the fact that part of the title of the book is ‘Guide to Essential Oils’. It is still good information, but if there is no essential oil information, I don’t feel it belongs in an essential oil guide. Despite these problems, however, I would definitely recommend it for any aromatherapy/essential oil library.

Customer Review: Simply The Best!
So far I’ve bought 5 of these and give them as gifts! This is a fabulous product, I love it and the people I’ve given it to love it too. It’s easy to use, you can choose the fragrance you want at any given time, and it fills the room with clean fresh aromas’. No need to worry about leaving it on because it automatically shuts off when the water level goes too low. I intend on buying more to keep a fresh supply of gifts!
Customer Review: Great, I love it and it does every thing it say’s it will.
I Love the color change . And when I put in aroma therapy oils you can really smell them. And it adds great moisture in to any room.

Customer Review: Excellent Reference
This book was recommended to me by one of my students in our essential oils classes. The organization of the material and the information are excellent for someone searching for information on essential oils and what they are for.
Customer Review: Teaches you so much
This book is not for the folks who want to just make Blends. Its for people who want to know the science behind the oils. What groups each oil belongs in. Which is something everyone must know when blending. You need to know what oils to use if you do not have a certain oil on hand. Plus Kurt has the science down. Reading this book all the way thru will teach you how to use the oils. So many books out there on blends, but what are you blending? Kurts book called Advance Aromatherapy‘>Aromatherapy is wonderful to. I love both books and have learn so MUCH more then I ever could from other books. I have learned how to deal with viruses , in depth. If you are serious about this subject, both of Kurts books are a MUST HAVE.

The Art of Aromatherapy: A Guide to Using Essential Oils for Health and Relaxation
Books on aromatherapy are plentiful, but finding the right one for your needs is not necessarily simple. Consider The Art of Aromatherapy‘>Aromatherapy an introduction into the world of essential oils. This attractive, easy-to-read reference contains many of the basics you’ll need to start incorporating aromatherapy into your daily routine. After a brief but informative introduction to the medicinal and therapeutic uses of plant essences, this little book gets down to business. Thirty of the most popular essential oils are presented, first with a brief description and place in history, then moving into the practical and medicinal realm. Although most of the names will probably be familiar (basil, clove, cinnamon, lavender) many of their therapeutic uses might offer some surprises. Lavender oil, for example, is not only a calming sleep aid (just leave a drop on your pillow), but it can also be a soothing rub for patients suffering from arthritis. The fact-packed text, complemented by colorful illustrations, offers straightforward, useful information for aromatherapy beginners. –Sara Nickerson
Customer Review: The Art of Aromatherapy‘>Aromatherapy
An attractive and informative small book that gives basic information about essential oils used in aromatherapy for over 25 different oils such as Chamomile, Eucalyptus, Jasmine and Lavender–to name a few. The pictures are just beautiful and the write-up is done in fancy lettering. It makes a wonderful gift. In each section, there is a description and history, a medicinal section and properties for each oil. My favorite is LAVENDER: Did you know that Lavender Oil is used as the basic ingredient of many fragrances? Lavender has a calming effect and this book recommends a drop of lavender oil on your pillow or in your bath to promote a restful sleep. Properties of lavender include a muscle relaxant, sedative, antidepressant and others….
