Product Description
This distinguished organic chemist shares his in depth knowledge of the particular current value of essential oils, for health on all levels. In an era when Western allopathic medicine has less and less appeal, this self-care method is a potent alternative, with roots going back to ancient times. Dr. Schaubelt has a gift for presenting facts and information in a way that is intriguing and easy to assimilate. In the flood of "coffee table" aromatherapy books currently available, this is a much needed and welcome source for those truly interested in taking responsiblity for their own health.

 Stick to the subject!!! August 1, 2008
The majority of this book does not focus on aromatherapy. Some history is discussed, and other than that, most of the book is spent discussing the problems with the current medical paradigm. I completely agree with him, however, I purchased a book titled "Medical Aromatherapy" not "The Current Medical Paradigm Sucks." Discussion of the essential oils does not begin until Chapter 12. Hello!! There are only 13 chapters in the book. The last two chapters of the book were great, but I really don't recommend this book.
 Excellent Reference December 6, 2007
This book was recommended to me by one of my students in our essential oils classes. The organization of the material and the information are excellent for someone searching for information on essential oils and what they are for.
 Teaches you so much February 28, 2006

This book is not for the folks who want to just make Blends.
Its for people who want to know the science behind the oils. What groups each oil belongs in. Which is something everyone must know when blending. You need to know what oils to use if you do not have a certain oil on hand. Plus Kurt has the science down. Reading this book all the way thru will teach you how to use the oils.
So many books out there on blends, but what are you blending?
Kurts book called Advance Aromatherapy is wonderful to. I love both books and have learn so MUCH more then I ever could from other books.
I have learned how to deal with viruses , in depth.
If you are serious about this subject, both of Kurts books are a MUST HAVE.
 Scientific Aromatherapy January 30, 2006

This book continues from where a lot of books on aromatherapy left out. For those of us who are curious about how essential oils actually work, this book provides all the scientific principles. Unlike a lot of other books which merely tell us what the function of the oils are, this book not only goes in depth into the mechanics of aromatherapy, it also provides some revolutionary ideas on the use of essential oils. For practitioners with a science background, this book provides plenty of convincing and credible reasons for the use of aromatherapy in the treatment of various ailments.
However, I'm disappointed with the first half of the book which is overly "political" and has definitely gone overboard in its attack of the medical profession. Skip all that and start from the middle of the book.

Medical Aromatherapy December 27, 2005

Compared to innumerable other excellent books on the subject aromatherapy, Schnaubelt's book comes up distinctly short on helpful data. For the book to be truly helpful, one must be experienced in the use of oils, and if experienced, the book is all-bar-useless given the dearth of detailed information. It's a snapshot only and, therefore, not useful as a book of reference. Not recommended I'm afraid.
