HOW IS THE BOOK ARRANGED, AND HOW CAN YOU BEST USE IT?
This book is especially meant for those who are new to essential oils and are not sure what to do with them! Its also helpful for those whom are interested but are relatively inexperienced, or for those with some experience but need more ideas or guidance! I present the material in several easy ways, with a slightly different approach than with other guides.
The first chapter shares a short introductory overview of what essential oils and aromatherapy are, with some important points on using them.
The second chapter of the book focuses on 13 essential oils which are among the most common and well-used today. I apply the book theme, USE THIS FOR THAT and show how you can use each one of these popular essential oils and for what. If you are new to essential oils, you may be surprised at the variety of uses possible for just one essential oil. This is thanks to the components and complex makeup of each essential oil, and is one of the reasons I say they have super powers.
This particular section of the book keeps things simple! You will come away with an understanding of how you can USE THIS FOR THAT .
The third chapter of the book looks at things from the specific issues you may have (stress, insomnia, cuts or burns, colds or coughs, immune system, depression, indigestion, etc.) and shares various essential oils, recipes, research, techniques and suggestions which could be helpful.
In other words, if you are experiencing issues with insomnia and want to find some applications that might help, you can refer to the third part of the book by specific issue. You will learn how to USE THIS FOR THAT by issue. I also include my personal favorites in this section.
By the way, there will be far more essential oils mentioned in this section that just the thirteen I highlighted in the second section of the book!
At the end, I make some recommendations for your Essential Oil Home Pharmacy, and link to a podcast I did on the subject. I also include a chart and information on Dosages & Dilutions.
Everyone should pay attention to the Safety Tips near the beginning of the book, and review them before proceeding to try essential oils. I also send the list as a helpful download if you opt in at the beginning of the book.
Essential oils are relatively safe and natural products but remember, poison ivy is a natural plant but look what it can do! There are some basics you should understand before you use them. Especially do take caution with small children.
To your happiness and wellness! Kathy Heshelow

SAFETY TIPS!
Because this handbook is about suggestions for common wellness problems, it is imperative to understand the safety tips!
Essential oils are pure, plant-based extracted liquids that hold special powers. They are generally known to be safe BUT there are safety precautions to understand.
This is not a definitive list, but we cover the biggest issues. Understand that while essential oils are beneficial and natural, there are some cautions.
It is very hard to overdose on essential oils when using them topically or by inhaling, and most essential oils do not cause side effects like some traditional medicines can. However, we have listed key safety points for you here:
- CHILDREN: If you have young children, PLEASE keep essential oils in a locked cabinet or away from easy access. Young children can be fascinated with the look and smell of essential oils. If accidental ingestion occurs, contact poison control immediately.
- EYES: Keep essential oils away from your eyes! In the event of eye injury from essential oils, irrigate eye with a sterile saline solution or a vegetable oil for 15 minutes. Immediately consult a physician if pain persists after the eye wash.
- DILUTE FOR SKIN: A good rule of thumb is to never use a pure single essential oil undiluted directly on skin, also called using it neat. (Single oils are diffused in a diffuser, inhaled from the bottle or another device, or mixed with a carrier oil to be used topically.) Exceptions can be made for Lavender, Rose Geranium, Frankincense and perhaps Tea Tree Essential Oil (and any others mentioned), but only after a patch test on your skin.
- PATCH TEST: I like to recommend a small skin patch test prior to every first-time use of an essential oil or essential oil blend, to be safe (especially if you have sensitive skin or health issues.) If any reaction occurs, use plentiful soap and water (or milk!) on the patch area and rinse well. (Reactions are not common.)
- FLAMMABLE: Essential oils are highly flammable; use extreme care around fire.
- INGESTION ISSUES: In general, essential oils are NOT ingested. Some oils can be toxic if ingested even in small amounts. They should only be taken internally under the supervision of a licensed medical practitioner. Keep in mind, the use of essential oils is called AROMA therapy.
The highest and best use, plus fastest and most effective is by inhalation, with the immediate interaction in the brain & control center of your body.
Some essential oils are good for topical use (diluted in a carrier oil) such as for burns, cuts, headaches, indigestion, inflammationWhen or if ingested, essential oils will be broken down by your digestive juices, liver and kidney and may not even be used by the body for its intended purpose but certain oils could cause serious harm, from burns to poisoning.
Essential oils are HIGHLY CONCENTRATED and can burn mucosa or interact in the body (remember #3 and #4 regarding your skin on the list above). So stick with a certified aromatherapist if ingestion is considered for an ailment. Dont experiment.
