Reference Guide for Essential Oils
Reference Alternative Health Holistic Health Aromatherapy Herbal Medicine Wellness Mind-Body-Spirit
The 2014 “Reference Guide for Essential Oils” by Connie and Alan Higley is the spiral-bound, lay-flat bible that aromatherapists, wellness coaches, and DIY-natural households keep within arm’s reach. At 624 pages, this single volume compresses the chemical profiles, safety protocols, and therapeutic uses of more than 100 single oils and 70+ proprietary blends into an easy-to-scan A-to-Z format. Because the pages are coil-bound, the book stays open on the kitchen counter while you mix roll-ons or on the massage table while you look up reflexology pairings—no cracked spines or lost place-holders.
What sets this guide apart from pocket-sized pamphlets is the depth of its research: each entry lists Latin nomenclature, application methods (topical, aromatic, internal), body systems affected, and French, English, and German medicinal uses. Safety warnings for pregnancy, epilepsy, or sun-sensitive oils are highlighted in red, so contraindications jump off the page. A color-coded symptom index lets you cross-reference everything from ADHD to wrinkles, then points you to the exact paragraphs where those oils are discussed. Buyers love that the 2014 edition includes then-new blends such as Breathe Again and Stress Away, making it current enough for today’s kits.
This copy arrives in good condition from a smoke-free home—pages are crisp, unmarked, and free of highlighting, so your own notes can stand out. The laminated covers resist oil droplets and wipe clean, a practical perk for any kitchen apothecary. Whether you are a young adult building a first natural-health library or an experienced practitioner upgrading from the 2007 edition, this sturdy reference promises years of reliable, page-flipping use.
