Customer Review: Now as good as I expected from Deepak.
I have read and listened to Deepak’s works for over ten years. I was disappointed in the delivery. His teachings on Quantum Healing from long ago are much more substantial.

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: Holistic Approach to Aromatherapy‘>Aromatherapy
This book contains brief descriptions of about 50 - 60 essential oils and while it does contain aromatherapy recipes for different conditions, they are not the focus of the book as the author believes that ultimately, you should follow your intuition when putting together aromatherapy blends. This is something that gets much easier with experience. The book does have some interesting information like “Believe it or not, no two people can blend an identical-smelling fragrance, even though they may use exactly the same blend of oils in exactly the same quantities from the same bottles. Amazingly, the oil will always take on an spect of the blender’s personality - their aromatic signature.” The book is divided in chapters, each dedicated to a different system in the body: circulatory, endocrine, nervous, muscular, etc. - each chapter beginning with a description of the funcitoning of a particular system, following by recommended oils that may be effective in optimizing that system. One section of the book is dedicated to massage techniques and contains lots of color photographs to make the points clearer. There is a chapter on proper nutrition, on yoga exercises (surya namaskar is illustrated as an example), meditation and even cleansing and strengthening your aura, as the author notes that aromatherapy can provide the best results as a part of holistic nurturing and care of your mind, body and spirit.
Customer Review: Excellent guide for aromatherapy enthusiasts
This book explains all things about aromatherapy: from its history, to how essential oils are distilled, to good aromatherapy “recipes” for many common problems. It also contains many ideas about how to help the treatments, or adminster them. Ms. Wildwood is incredibly thorough, and respectable in her suggestions about integrating this with traditional and alternative medicine.
