Ultimate Essential Oils Guide
by Alexa Moore
I have used essential oils for many months now, but have a lot to learn yet, so I am always eager to check out books that help me gain knowledge about these oils as well as recipes for making my own blends. Alexa Moore has written such a book, geared directly toward beginners. This is an e-book currently.
Moore has clearly spent some time in writing this book. It is filled with recipes which break down the oils and ingredients needed, the instructions for mixing and the desired results it should produces or ailments it will address. Unfortunately, many of them require oils I have not yet heard of or had opportunity to obtain, which makes me think it may not be such a good book for true beginners. Nonetheless, they are very thorough and easily followed.
The book starts out with a break down of aromatherapy and talks about why oils can be helpful. It also addresses how and why to use essential oils. This information was helpful and easily followed.
Some unfortunate things that took away from the positives of the book for me:
- I found many spelling or grammar errors that were distracting to me and made the book less authoritative for me.
- In addition, I also dislike that the final pages of the book link to oils sold on Amazon, but the links did not work.
- Also, I noted that the author either sells or has a strong affinity to Doterra Oils, as the company name showed up in the book. As a beginner, I don't want to be sold on the different companies or drawn into multi-level marketing, I just want the basics, the hows and whys.
Sadly, I can't say this was one of my favorite essential oil books so far. It was OK, but just that.
