About the Book

Why I Wrote This Encyclopaedia

My goal was to bring together, in one place, the essential information needed to work with essential oils. I wanted the book to be as concise as possible, without unnecessary embellishment, while still covering the most important areas of aromatherapy in a comprehensive way.

I wanted those interested in essential oils to have a practical guide they could turn to whenever they felt unsure, as well as a reliable source against which to compare information they encounter online.

The book is intended both for people taking their first steps in aromatherapy and for more experienced users who want a clear and dependable reference at hand.

In the Czech Republic, it is widely recommended by aromatherapy professionals as an introduction to the field and is also used as a quick reference, reminder, and source of inspiration.
