 Depends what you're looking for
If you're seeking a book that culminates much of the already available information in one place, this book could be good for you. It provides guidance on suggested blends for various ailments of a more spiritual nature. The reason I have given this a 3 star rating is because this is not what I was after. For me, a book of this kind hopefully gives you the tools to make your own evaluations of formulae and the 'grass roots' to do it all yourself. I was looking for a book that provided guidance that all the other aromatherapy books do not - it didn't. If you have a general aromatherapy book, or one of the other Worwood books, this one won't add much marginal benefit.

Not like her other books.
Although somewhat informative it did not contain the recipes I was looking for like the ones in her "The Complete Book of Essential Oils & Aromatherapy" which I've used so much it has the scents of many essential oils amongst its pages.

 Exploring links between spirituality and aromatherapy ( mwbookrevw )
Fragrances contain unique properties which can not only heal, but evoke emotions memories and even visions: while much discussion revolves around healing, Aromatherapy for the Soul: Healing the Spirit with Fragrance and Essential Oils focuses more on the psyche, with chapters exploring links between spirituality and aromatherapy. It previously appeared as THE FRAGRANT HEAVENS: its new title promises a wider audience.
