One tip I learned from the book is to the use of lavender oil for headaches. As a migraine sufferer, I’ve tried a lot different remedies, but I’ve never tried lavender, so I’m anxious to try it.
The books also features a variety of recipe, everything from massage oils and poultices, to teas and tonics. One recipe I found especially interesting is for Spruce Bath Salts, used for aches and pains. There are also a recipe for Goji Berry Muffins, which is supposed to be good for eye problems, high blood pressure, and the immune system.

There’s even a fantastic chart which outlines various purposes you might want essential oils for (antibiotic, analgesic, deodorant, etc.) and tells you which essential oils have this property. Just looking at the chart alone helped me to find out which oils I might want to do more research on.
The writer’s of the book also recommend 5 top essential oils for those of us who are on a budget and are just starting out working with essential oils. These are: Lavender, Tea Tree, Roman chamomile, Lemon, and Geranium.
