Alternative Therapies Holistic Wellness Aromatherapy & Essential Oils Natural Health & Healing Sustainability & Green Living Family Health & Parenting Mind-Body-Spirit Reference
Gifts of the Essential Oils, 2nd Edition (2021, hardcover, ISBN 9780645234091) is the upgraded, shelf-ready reference that aromatherapy lovers keep within arm’s reach. At 304 full-color pages, this beautifully illustrated guide distills the combined wisdom of Adam Barralet and Vanessa Jean Boscarello Ovens into an easy-to-use, science-meets-spirit manual. Whether you need fast first-aid blends, emotional-support recipes, or green-cleaning formulas, every profile lists safety data, vibrational qualities, and family-friendly substitutions so you can reach for the right oil the first time.
What sets this edition apart is the “gifts” lens: each of the 50+ oils is explored through six dimensions—physical, emotional, mental, spiritual, environmental, and relational—showing how one bottle can soothe a child’s tummy, uplift mood, and even deepen meditation. Newly added sustainable-harvest notes and eco-packaging tips make the book especially relevant for today’s planet-minded households. The durable sewn hardback lies flat for blending sessions and wipes clean if a drop spills, so your copy stays crisp for years of daily use.
Collectors value the 2nd edition for its expanded materia aromatica, updated research, and lush botanical photography that doubles as décor on a coffee table or apothecary shelf. This particular copy is in very good condition from a smoke-free home—no ex-library markings, inscriptions, or remainder marks—making it an ideal gift for young adults, wellness coaches, or any parent ready to swap synthetic fragrances for natural solutions.
