Review:

5.0 out of 5 stars A definite keeper for my Aromatherapy go to books!

E.L. · September 8, 2016

I bought this book because I trust the author Robert Tisserand's experience. This book was written many years ago, yet it is stil useful and valuable resource today. It covers areas that I have not found in many books written today. The Art of Aromatherapy not only goes through a history of the use of essential oils through time. It also reminds us of how we used to use our sense of smell before technology took over medicine. Tisserand includes attributes of many oils as well as what they can help remedy. There is also a section that helps you figure out your dosing! I truly give this book a big 10, and recommend anyone who wants to learn more about aromatherapy than just putting what smells good in the diffuser to grab a copy. You will definitely keep this on your desk and go to it often. I know I will.If you think my review was helpful please share with me by checking the yes box. I like sharing my opinion on products I buy to aid other buyers.

5.0 out of 5 stars worth reading it

a.s. · September 23, 2025

first, i know that Robert Tisserand made the manual essential oil safety book which is like a big, boring textbook for me. but i admire this work of Robert Tisserand so much, this is the beautiful blend of biochemistry, aromatherapy and energy healing in his book. worth reading it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good info about the basic essential oils.

E. · May 22, 2012

I'm not an expert on aromatherapy, so this is my point of view as an amateur.The book have some good facts and info about essential oils during different times in history. It also have many recipes. It separates a few oils in groups, depending if they are a base/middle or top, and in other groups like zodiac and planets.But it lacks on variety of essential oils. I know this is not a new book, so I was a little dissapointed to see only the "basic" ones. but in general this is a good and interesting book.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must read for people getting started with essential oils

l. · July 20, 2015

This book is great for any essential oil enthusiast. The book goes into detail on a variety of ways oils are used and how the different aromas effect people. It also goes into detail about massage, skin care, baths ect. The book is kind of a long read but is easy to understand and very useful to have. I would recommend this book to anyone getting started in essential oils because it goes into details as far as how they should be used and it explains the safety precautions that are generally unknown or overlooked by new comers. I am pleased with my purchase and consider this a great reference to have on hand.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very useful reference on Aromatherapy

H.R. · February 12, 2013

I'd been interested in aromatherapy for quite a while now, but I think this book really cemented it for me. It is incredibly comprehensive, offering all sorts of tips on using essential oils for everything from cosmetic/enjoyment to healing properties. The indices at the end are incredibly useful, including evaporation/volatility rates/tables, and information on odor intensity, and an incredibly extensive Theraputic Index. I lent this and a few other aromatherapy books to my little sister, who did a report on aromatherapy for a class, and this was the book she found most useful.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very satisfied

Loved how quick this arrived and was a good book that went into depth about aromatherapy. By far exceeded my expectations with all the information in it and all the help it provides

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful book!!!

N.R. · October 10, 2013

This book is very valuable to me as an aromatherapist and I use it every time I am looking for new ideas for blending Essential Oils. I hightly recommend this book to anyone who is an aromatherapist or a lay person in the field. It is compelling reading, simply written and very informative.

3.0 out of 5 stars Great Book but Too Much Info

B. · December 23, 2021

I book this book long, long ago and it was so informative and well organized. It was lost in a move and I decided I'd like to have it again so I ordered it. I didn't know it had be updated with new information and this was the problem. While I have no disagreements with the depth of information in the update it was just far too much additional information squeezed into one small book. The history of essential oils has been expanded from the original and is way more information than I enjoyed reading. The author should have simply tripled the pages of the book with better spacing of text so the reader could catch their breath or come out with a new updated larger version. Too much info squeezed into the book.

Super recomendo.

k.f.b. · December 4, 2015

Livro maravilhoso, tanto para iniciantes quanto para os mais experientes na aromaterapia. É definitivamente um livro de consultas para toda vida.

Fantastic reference material!

I've been involved with aromatherapy for many years. I created my own line of aromatherapy products, I teach aromatherapy, & I'm always looking for new books to reference. The Art of Aromatherapy is just the perfect book for people looking to expand their knowledge base, get some good usable information, & perhaps learn something extraordinarily interesting along the way. I would recommend this book to anyone, no matter their background on the subject. Robert Tisserand has taken his years of experience & presented it in an easy to follow format. Yes, there is some technical stuff there, but it's not too complex that the common person can't see exactly what he's talking about. This is one of those books that you can read over & over again, it's that good. If you want to really learn about aromatherapy & how to use it to help improve your mind, body, & spirit, then this is the book to get.

Good book very informative
