Reviews
I'm just in it all the time, looking stuff up - great resource! (Posted on 7/5/2019)
And, I also ordered the book "SPOIL YOUR PET" because I use oils on him and love to learn more and more about anything which may come up...hope nothing does, but the book is a life saver! (Posted on 2/5/2019)
The pages are of the book are... paper thin? You can see through them, when you turn them they crease. I would be more than willing to pay a little more for a book that I don't have to be extra gentle with for fear that it will tear. Again, the information contained in the book is awesome, I think it's the best one yet. It's a shame the quality of the product is not as amazing as the information within. (Posted on 1/23/2019)
But the new appendix items are so awesome. I love knowing that the antifungal properties in Melaleuca are greater than in Oregano. I would never have guessed that. And the last two pages give a great snapshot of every oil, and clear dilution guidelines. This is genius. Thanks for putting all this information in an easy to find and understand format. I highly recommend the new Modern Essentials 10th edition. (Posted on 10/12/2018)
