The Essential Oils Desk Reference, 4th Edition

You've been waiting for it, and now it's finally here: the updated and expanded Essential Oils Desk Reference, 4th Edition.  Released in November of 2007, this is the most up-to-date aromatherapy information anywhere.

More and more people today are finding that aromatherapy is a vital addition to their natural health and wellness regimen.  If you're pursuing your dream of feeling good, looking great and living a healthier life — and doing it naturally — then join those who are discovering that the use of therapeutic-grade essential oils offers amazing benefits toward that goal.

Aromatherapy is a lot more than just the smell.

"But, which oils should I buy?" or "Now that I have the oils, what am I to do with them?"

The answers to these — and many other — questions lie in the Essential Oils Desk Reference, 4th Edition.  Finally, in a single volume, you have easy-to-access information that puts practical, real-life aromatherapy — and other natural health information — at your fingertips.  No more guessing in the nitty-gritty of applying your essential oils, or wondering if there's an application for your particular need. 

But, more than just how to use the oils, the Desk Reference contains several cleansing protocols, information on liver health and pH balance, discussions of various health issues and longevity/anti-aging therapies.  There's even a completely new, 27-page chapter on wolfberries, dealing with the history and science behind the NingXia wolfberry. 

This truly is a total health, whole-life reference.

The Essential Oils Desk Reference, 4th Edition:

This latest edition of the Essential Oils Desk Reference truly is the definitive guide to the safe and effective use of therapeutic-grade essential oils in medicinal aromatherapy.  Based on the latest scientific research available, it's the most complete and reliable source of information available in the English language.  Dozens of new cross reference headings have been added, making this an invaluable guide you won't want to be without.

Bigger and better than ever, the Desk Reference, 4th Edition includes lots of exciting updates, with over a dozen new products and updated application information, including the new "First Recommendations" headings that list the best 1-5 oils/products to start with (you're not left to wonder if you really need 60 different things).  And, the section on the RainDrop Technique has been completely revised by Gary Young.  Updated and expanded, it now includes 16 new instructional photographs that make the "how to" of this amazing aromatherapy application clearer than ever before.

The 4th Edition is also more graphically appealing.  With a new color format, nearly 200 color photos and illustrations have been added, making it a more enjoyable reference to use.  Personally, I find that the addition of color makes locating information even easier.  Headings and side-bars stand out better.

You've really got to see this.  Even if you have a previous edition of the Desk Reference, this one would be well worth the price to buy.

What makes the Essential Oils Desk Reference so special?

The Essential Oils Desk Reference: 558 pages, approx. 8.5" x 11"; hardcover.  It's worth its weight in gold, but can be yours for only $49.95, plus shipping and handling.

The Essential Oils Pocket Reference

The Pocket Reference is a handy little volume, perfect for a quick reference on-the-go, or for sharing a powerful health solution with those you meet.  At only 5.5" X 6.5" X 0.6", in a spiral-bound paperback, it provides you with 278 pages of the most useful information found in the Desk Reference, in a spiral-bound, soft cover format that's easy to take with you.

• The Pocket Reference contains all the useful information on the use of the essential oils found in the Desk Reference's Personal Usage Guide, plus general information on essential oils and the RainDrop and Vita-Flex Techniques.
• It does not, however, contain information about the Young Living products.
• It also lacks information on the health and cleansing programs, and research materials, found in the Desk Reference.

The Pocket Reference is a handy companion to the Desk Reference, not a great stand-alone reference on aromatherapy.  That is why it is no longer offered on this website.  However, it is available from Essential Science Publishing as a separate volume for $16.95, plus shipping and handling.
