Goodreads Reviewer rated it 5 stars November 2019

So informative! The author did a great job of taking a multi-faceted concept and making it accessible to readers of any knowledge level. I found my own experience with essential oils revved up by this book, encouraging me to try out some of the recipes here, and Orey has a nice voice as our guide through this topic. Well done, very engaging. Will be using this info throughout the holiday season and beyond.

Review on netgalley--5 stars This was excellent book on essential oils. Loved format of book. I loved all the tips and recipes that were provided.

Review on netgalley--5 stars  ... this is a nice book to read - I learned so much already and why not love a book that recommends these herbs getting into your body via food like gingerbread?? The writing was clear and concise and the photos gorgeous - this, alone with some oils would make a great New Year's Gift ...
