Quick Reference Guide for Essential Oils (13th Edition) 2012 by Connie and Alan Higley (2012-05-04) Spiral-bound – January 1, 2012

This is a great book. It is very convenient and love all the extra information--tips to use, oils in blends listed in Appendix, then singles listed and the blends and products it is in. The book is indexed by ailment is great for quick reference. Ex: Colds: suggestions--RC, etc. It does have small print, so if you have problems with small print get the Bigger one.I think I prefer the new version as compared to the 2012 edition. It has the most popular oil listed first to use on the recommendations. It also has convenient icons next to the oils recommended on how to use it in the 13th edition (2012). A- Aromatic, D- Diffuse, T- Topically.Great for travel. A real learning guide.It does recommend Young Living oils because health food store oils have chemicals and should not be used (warnings on health food store bottles) to get relief from any ailments. Young Living oils are 100% pure (no warning labels)therapeutic grade essential oils, so you can use them as the book suggests and get great results. I use the book and the oils. I disagree with other reviewer. I used previous oil brands in soap making (almost 13 years) and I can tell a REAL difference in concentration and how my nose can tell a difference NOW--and my skin. I have very sensitive skin, and I use the Young Living oils==all ways suggested and some internally, too. Danielle T Jackson-- Blog-- Blessing Others Through Young Living Oils.

I just became interested in essential oils. And I absolutely love this book. I carry it around in my purse in case I need to look something up. I'm sharing the info with my family and friends . It's so chocked full of great tips and info. Invaluable ! I used lavender oil on a burn I received last week when I splashed scalding water on my forearm. The burn was a 1 1/2 inch square wound. Ouch ! I immediately put lavender on it. Then every hour after that I applied more , for a total of 5 applications that evening . It never hurt after I started using the oil . And it never blistered . The next day the burn was drying up already, just a little pink, but it never hurt. I made sure I still used the lavender 3 to 4 times a day. By the 4th day it the burn was almost gone. Oils are truly amazing. This little book is a wealth of information. I recommend it to anyone who isjust starting to use essential oils. Kim P.

This book was almost exactly what I wanted. I say almost as I couldn't find the much larger version with individual explanations of what the oils can be used for.. (For instance i bought lemon oil for a mix & wanted to know what it could be used for on its own). However there are things in this book that are not In the large reference book. This is perfect for me and quick referencing things I want to know.. Now I can find just about any ailment and what oils I can use.., even has a section on animals and I use it for my elderly dog with arthritis and it works!

Great information not only for Young Living Product Users, because this is a Young Living Companion Product guide but for anyone who is interested in learning about the value of using essential oils for supporting their health. I am a massage therapist and young living oil user and this is the book that I recommend my clients buy for themselves to help insure the proper use of essential oils. It is a wonderful reference guide and is great also for learning about essential oils even if not a young living essential oils user. The authors have compiled just a wonderful book full of practical use and tips. Very complete and well rounded. Thank you Connie and Alan Higley for all your efforts!

This book has been on my wish list for many years, but I didn't buy it because there were always more pressing things to spend my money on. Now that I finally have it in my hands, I wonder how I could have lived without it! It's a FANTASTIC guide to essential oils, particularly those sold by Young Living. You can look up symptoms in the index and find out which oils best suit them; how and where to apply the oils and way more. Now whenever one of my friends or neighbors is complaining of an ailment, I have something concrete to offer! If you're a believer in essential oils and want to know how to use them more widely, this is the only guide you'll ever need!

My wife's new "bible". She's constantly in this guide and our family is benefitting tremendously from it. Very informative. Explains the origin of natural oils, the science behind it and how best to apply. Has a section on what each oil is best for, one for what oil to use for almost any problem or desired help, and other sections to easily answer almost every question that one could imagine about essential oils. EXTREMELY helpful and well worth the money. If you have any interest in essential oils, this is the book for you.

This is an excellent resource book and is organized wonderfully. My only issue is that being so small, they had to reduce the print/font size. I can read it - but it takes a little more concentration than I'd like. I will be buying the full size reference guide (I should have spent the extra $ to begin with!) very soon.

This is a very informative booklet. I love the spiral binding so mich easer to work with. Easy to look things up and it gives alot of infromation. It's very small print though and in places I have to get my magnifier out to read the fine print. I just couldn't afford the big version and this one is working fine.
