There’s a lot of great basic information on oils, supplies you should have, how to store etc。 There are also quite a few useful blends for around the house-cleaning, disinfecting & laundry to name just a few。 The sections on chronic illnesses like anxiety, substance abuse etc。 have numerous blends to try。 The book mentions the synergy of blending 2 or more oils which is very interesting。 All in all this is an amazing book that would be a great addition to your personal reference library。

While this apothecary is a great, basic resource for safe essential oil usage, including help for chronic conditions, I’m knocking off two stars for the religious lecturing throughout the book。 The authors are clearly Christians, which is fine, but I find it irritating and unnecessary in the context of this manual。 It’s very heavy-handed and takes away (for me) from the health information in the book。 I don’t need to hear that you’re praying for me, nor do I need scriptural lectures on weight lo While this apothecary is a great, basic resource for safe essential oil usage, including help for chronic conditions, I’m knocking off two stars for the religious lecturing throughout the book。 The authors are clearly Christians, which is fine, but I find it irritating and unnecessary in the context of this manual。 It’s very heavy-handed and takes away (for me) from the health information in the book。 I don’t need to hear that you’re praying for me, nor do I need scriptural lectures on weight loss。 Thank you to NetGalley and the publishers for the opportunity to read and review this book。 Overall, I won’t be recommending it other than to a small niche audience who enjoy biblical references included in their health-based manuals。 。。。more

While I am a big advocate for more natural methods, this book was heavy on telling you that you need to switch to oils and now。 While their examples of chemicals contained in every day items such as our drinking water away be true, essential oil use, as with anything, needs to be done with discretion。 I honestly, couldn't get past the first few chapters due to this but the savi g grace of this book are all the amazing。blends and recipes for different items using essential oils from room sprays t While I am a big advocate for more natural methods, this book was heavy on telling you that you need to switch to oils and now。 While their examples of chemicals contained in every day items such as our drinking water away be true, essential oil use, as with anything, needs to be done with discretion。 I honestly, couldn't get past the first few chapters due to this but the savi g grace of this book are all the amazing。blends and recipes for different items using essential oils from room sprays to rollers。 Just make sure to use in moderation and be aware of the oils not safe for kids and animals。 。。。more

Dr。 Eric Zelinski is a natural health researcher who has specialized in the area of essential oils。 I have followed his writing for a number of years and have also read and reviewed his previous two books。 As a nutritionist, I appreciate that all of the information about essential oils and health in his books are backed up and documented by research。 This book, The Essential Oils Apothecary, is more specialized than his previous two books。 There is one chapter that gives a good overview of what Dr。 Eric Zelinski is a natural health researcher who has specialized in the area of essential oils。 I have followed his writing for a number of years and have also read and reviewed his previous two books。 As a nutritionist, I appreciate that all of the information about essential oils and health in his books are backed up and documented by research。 This book, The Essential Oils Apothecary, is more specialized than his previous two books。 There is one chapter that gives a good overview of what essential oils can do for health and how to safely use them。 The remainder of the book gives information about specific health conditions and the oils that may be helpful with them。 There are a number of recipes for making your own blends in each chapter as well。 This book would be an excellent resource for health practitioners who want to become more familiar with essential oils for their work。 It could also be useful for the general public as a more advanced resource for essential oils。 For those who are beginners with using essential oils, I recommend Dr。 Zelinski's first book, The Healing Power of Essential Oils, as a better place to start。I received a complementary copy from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review。 。。。more

It has only been in the last few months that I've begun exploring the world of essential oils, a journey I began primarily motivated by significant health issues in late 2019 that led to a 10-day hospitalization and subsequent amputation of my upper left leg。 Health challenges are not particularly new to me having been born with spina bifida and already far surpassed my life expectancy。 However, after 50+ surgeries by the age of 18 I'd largely enjoyed a somewhat stable life over the past 30 year It has only been in the last few months that I've begun exploring the world of essential oils, a journey I began primarily motivated by significant health issues in late 2019 that led to a 10-day hospitalization and subsequent amputation of my upper left leg。 Health challenges are not particularly new to me having been born with spina bifida and already far surpassed my life expectancy。 However, after 50+ surgeries by the age of 18 I'd largely enjoyed a somewhat stable life over the past 30 years。 While I'm not what I would call "in shape," I'm rather remarkable for someone with spina bifida and have traveled over 6,000 miles by wheelchair doing outreach/awareness on behalf of children's organizations。 My hospitalization not only was triggered by significant issues, mostly dehydration and infection, but it also shook my confidence。 Having recently become a Reiki Master (because I do believe there are too few people with disabilities in the wellness field), I've also recently started practicing yoga and exploring the world of natural wellness。 As someone who has always utilized candles and incense and nature, essential oils were sitting there waiting for me the whole time。 As I began reading "The Essential Oils Apothecary," I wasn't quite sure I'd resonate with it。 I was unfamiliar with the work of Natural Living Family, co-founded by Dr。 Eric Zielinski and his wife Sabrina。 I will confess there was some unease initially with a weaving together of Christianity, wellness, and what might be described as somewhere on the Prosperity Theology spectrum。 However, I opted to keep an open mind and kept reading。 "The Essential Oils Apothecary" is a comprehensive exploration of soothing practices, healing rituals, and 150+ practical recipes for applying essential oils to the treatment and symptom management of 25+ chronic illnesses。 Dr。 Zielinski, author of the best-selling "The Healing Power of Essential Oils," gets down into the nitty gritty here yet does so in a way that is accessible, understandable, and extensively researched。 Faith is at the foundation of Zielinski's writing here, an undeniable truth, yet it's a faith that allows for scientific truths and an unwavering belief in John 10:10's abundant life。 It's clear from early in "The Essential Oils Apothecary" that Dr。 Zielinski has a broad understanding of essential oils and he's put in the time to study both the academic and practical sides of essential oils。 They share the research that backs their 150+ recipes and are quick to acknowledge strengths, weaknesses, limitations, and all the disclaimers that one should acknowledge when dealing with chronic illnesses。 The recipes and remedies here are largely those that get to the root of chronic illness and Zielinski explores over 70 aromatic plants。 As a bit of a coincidence, or not, I happened to be in a bit of a transition when I began reading "The Essential Oils Apothecary" as I'd been on a prescribed medication to deal with phantom pain and minor bouts of depression following multiple losses over the past year。 However, I'd grown tired of it and had just begun my "detox" off the medication and had committed myself to more deeply exploring natural options with fewer side effects and risks。 I began exploring some of Dr。 Zielinski's recommendations as I read the book and experienced for myself positive results as I weaned (with my doctor's awareness and approval) myself off the concerning medication and have begun the journey to explore my concerns naturally。 Is everything miraculously cured? Nope, but I'm exploring and seeing positive results and learning quite a bit from "The Essential Oils Apothecary。" I'm also realizing how incredibly doable so many of these actions are。 While some wellness practitioners like to paint this journey as almost otherworldly, Dr。 Zielinski instead prefers to make it more accessible。 While there are tremendous details throughout the book, Dr。 Zielinski writes with both warmth and a laid-back, friendly tone that fits the material nicely。 He's realistic, well informed, and encouraging along the way。 I'd dare say that even for the uninitiated, "The Essential Oils Apothecary" is so well researched that at minimum it would be hard to argue against the fact that essential oils are, at minimum, an absolute complement to one's healing and wellness journeys and will, at minimum, support addressing chronic illnesses。 Does that mean I necessarily resonated with everything? Of course not。 However, with "The Essential Oils Apothecary" Dr。 Zielinski serves up vital tools and teaches how to use these tools to live a healthier, more empowered, and abundant life。 "The Essential Oils Apothecary" is a book I expected to appreciate, but it's also a book I tremendously enjoyed and one I found both educational and entertaining。 If you've ever wanted to go deeper into the exploration of essential oils, "The Essential Oils Apothecary" is a terrific place to start and will introduce you to the much broader world of Natural Living Family。 。。。more

This essential oils book is an invaluable resource! It is so detailed and informative! There are many blends for each medical issue and numerous easy to read tables that help, including a drug interaction chart。 There is also a lengthy list of additional resources, if you were to need more information about a specific issue, though this book seems to have everything! It has been well researched and there are many, many pages of notes and references。 This is a wonderful resource to have on hand!
