Connie & Alan Higley’s 624-page “Reference Guide for Essential Oils” (2014 soft-cover, spiral-bound) is the one desk-side companion aromatherapists, massage therapists, preppers, and wellness-minded families keep within arm’s reach. Unlike pocket-sized charts or brand-specific pamphlets, this oversized, lie-flat reference distills more than 100 single oils and 150 proprietary blends into quick-scan profiles that list Latin name, extraction method, historical uses, aromatic influence, body systems affected, French, British and German application styles, and—most prized by practitioners—step-by-step topical, dietary and diffusion protocols for everything from seasonal sniffles to workout recovery. Safety cautions for pregnancy, epilepsy, sun exposure and pets are highlighted in red, so you can blend with confidence even if you’re new to essential oils.
What makes this particular copy a smart buy is its study-ready condition: every one of the 624 pages is crisp, unmarked, and free of the oil stains you often see in second-hand copies. The heavy-duty plastic spiral has not cracked or caught, so the book still folds back flat on a treatment table or kitchen counter. Published by the independent Higley family, the content is brand-neutral yet cross-referenced to the major therapeutic lines (doTERRA, Young Living, Rocky Mountain, Plant Therapy), saving you the frustration of translating recipes between suppliers. Whether you’re a young adult building a first natural-health library or an adult expanding a professional practice, you get a single, logically organized resource that replaces a shelf of smaller manuals.
Searchers hunting for “complete essential-oil reference,” “aromatherapy materia medica,” or “therapeutic-grade oil guide” consistently land on this title because it answers three questions in one place: What oil do I use? How do I use it safely? How much do I need? With condition notes that read “clean pages, no highlighting, smoke-free home,” this gently loved edition delivers near-new utility at a fraction of retail, making it an economical upgrade for students in herbalism, integrative health, or holistic nutrition programs.
