Comprehensive information on the essential oils extracted from herbs, flowers, roots, barks, and resins includes which ones to use regularly, which to use with caution, and which to avoid altogether.

Dozens of simple step-by-step recipes feature essential oils for:

• Combatting stress, PMS, sunburn, and other conditions
• Scenting homes, offices, and vehicles
• Creating blends for safe, fragrant cleaning products
• Making special mixtures for children and the elderly
