The Healing Power of Essential Oils Soothe Inflammation Boost Mood Prevent Autoimmunity and Feel Great in Every Way Eric Zielinski DC 9781524761363 Books Reviews

• I really like the content of this book (see more below). However, Every time I pick it up or even look at it, I am really disappointed at the quality of the paper. The paper is like newsprint. When I opened the shipping box, the book looked almost like it had been left out in the damp. There are wrinkles in the pages, the pages are unevenly cut, the book does not lay flat. I had originally given this book 3 stars, but that was not fair to Dr. Z who is great and knowledgeable writer. I bought the hard copy because I want this as a reference tool. I doubt it will hold up as that for very long and will probably turn yellow quickly. I guess it's part of our auto expiration culture. If a I had one suggestion, it would be to publish this as a hard cover book and put in some of your beautiful photos like on your web site/videos. People respect Dr. Z and would enjoy such a reference.
  Now to the content. Wonderful! I would have given this book 5 stars if the book was better quality. Dr. Z is a very passionate and effective teacher. I loved his summit on EO's - it gave me the confidence to learn about EO's and get more into this area of herbology, a subject I already appreciate and use a lot in my daily life. The cross-references are very handy. He gives you the page number to go immediately to an area for more info. He teaches safety and encourages the reader to jump in, giving a lot of easy ways to do so. He does not sell EO's and only wants to get the information out there. I'm glad I got the book.
• I have always loved Dr. Z’s research-based approach and practical how-tos when it comes to essential oils and was very excited when I heard he was writing a book. Well, all I can say is that this is one of the best books I’ve read this year! I read it cover-to-cover in one sitting!
  
  Here are some of the many reasons I love this book
  • Dr. Z emphasizes biochemical individuality – just like with food and nutrients there is no one size fits all with essential oils and you have to find what works for you. He teaches you how to figure that out in the recipes sections
  • He addresses the ‘overwhelmed and where do I start’ aspect – he calls it “paralysis by analysis”. He does this in a few ways 7 steps to start using them, a daily morning and/or evening practice and the tops oils everyone should start with. Here’s another idea (from me) start with a calming essential oil like lavender or neroli!
  • The background information is excellent the source of the essential oil (for example cinnamon bark vs the leaf); why knowing the chemotype is important in terms of their different therapeutic effects; shelf life; how to find quality oils; why plants native to an area are better; dilution rules; inhalation, topical use and ingestion of oils
  • The research is comprehensive and best of all he refers to studies where the essential oil has been shown to provide therapeutic value, rather than referencing studies on various constituents. There is one where clary sage helped with depression by lowering cortisol and boosting serotonin (anxiety was not assessed but we know high cortisol and low serotonin impacts both anxiety and depression)
  • There is extensive coverage on carrier oils (like jojoba, coconut oil, fractionated coconut oil etc.) and emulsifiers (like Castile soap and aloe vera oil). He also shares that liquid stevia is a solubilizer (this one intrigues me)
  • All the wonderful recipes – from home cleaning to personal care products to many products for addressing specific health conditions like aching muscles, wounds, candida, dandruff (hint peppermint) and much more
  • The big focus on women’s health and anxiety and depression, so it’s perfect for my community of women who suffer from anxiety. The recipes for PMS, perimenopause, and menopause are fabulous – with help for anxiety, depression, insomnia, vaginal dryness and much more. There is also an entire chapter on fertility, pregnancy and postpartum health.
  • Photosensitivity is explained and he lists all the oils that fall into this category (such as bergamot and expressed lemon)
  • He addresses the concerns about lavender and tea tree being estrogenic and explaining why they are not (I get this question a lot!)
  • There are plenty of oils and recipes for digestive support like a SIBO blend of a 111 ratio of caraway, lavender and neroli (which I am very interested in exploring further)
  
  It’s perfect for you if you’re
  • a total newbie to essential oils and have been hearing how great they are and want to learn the basics (and the science)
  • someone like me who has been using essential oils for a few years but could really take things up notch in terms of therapeutic use and how to use blends
  • someone who is well versed in using essential oils therapeutically, making your own cleaning products and self-care products and wants the science behind each essential oil
  • looking for a great resource to give a loved one like your sister or mom, or to a friend, and if you’re a practitioner, as a resource for your clients and patients, so they too can benefit by what you already know
  • looking for a non-branded resource (Dr. Z has no brand loyalty but does teach you how to find quality brands of essential oils)
  
  This book is comprehensive, research-based, practical and I would even say pretty exciting and fun! And I know my community of anxious women are going to love it. It’s a perfect addition to the food and nutrient changes they are already making to ease their anxiety.

•  I love this guy-he has great information but the book quality is VERY poor. The paper is super thin and rips easily. Honestly for as much as I use oils-I would have paid a higher price for the book if the quality was better. I’m disappointed.
• Just got this book late this afternoon. I have already devoured almost half the book while skimming through the rest!
  Awesome! Awesome! Awesome! This book is by far the best resource on the practical and safe use of essential oils I’ve ever read. I have several books on essential pills and this is by far the most comprehensive and complete authority on the safe use of oils yet!
  Dr. Eric Z does a great job of not only educating you on the pills and how to use them, but backs it up with research and studies to prove it!
  It is full of recipe’s (over 150), to get you started in using oils daily for and an abundant life of health and wellness.
  If you’re looking at getting started the right way with essential oils this is the book you want to start with!
  Dr. Z has a companion masterclass on oils that goes perfect with this book and in my opinion should be the foundation of any study on essential oils for the beginner as well as the experienced user! I have used essential oils and holistic medicines for many years and I am learning new things every minute as well as correcting myself in things I have been doing wrong.
  You can’t go wrong here, but the book today! Best choice you will ever make for your health!
• Incredibly wide ranging coverage of the use of essential oils. This book provides not only information about research available on the safety, efficacy, and integration of essential oils into our daily lives, it actually provides recipes to use. Amazingly, it not only covers how to change our overall health by incorporating essential oils into our daily lifestyle, but also provides information for specific illnesses and health conditions. Definitely the best and most thorough book I've read on essential oils!!!
