This is a very detailed book. It includes information on extraction methods, absolutes, and hydrosols. He also includes the historical uses of essential oils. There is a quote Robert Tisserand, who is the master of safety in the world of aromatherapy. He also references the NAHA, the national association for holistic aromatherapy. I was very happy to read the author’s advice not to take essential oils internally. Part Two of the book details individual essential oils and their uses. Part Three includes recipes for blending.
