ESSENTIAL OILS, TEAS, AND SELF-CARE

The use of essential oils and herbal teas has increased over time as they are beneficial to the body. This book explores most of the common essential oils, herbal teas, spices and herbs that are widely used. 

I loved the arrangement of the content in the book; it is commendable as the topics covered were listed in an orderly manner. The first chapter tackles herbal teas. Here, the authors listed different types of herbal teas, the infusion, decoction, and precautions. The authors clearly wrote about their uses, with a step by step guide which will help even the beginners understand how it works. Some of the herbal teas mentioned include Lemon Balm, Red Raspberry Leaf, Chamomile, Spearmint, Holy Basil, and lavender.

This book reads like a well-written health journal. It has every amazing thing you would want when reading about natural remedies to boost your health or treat minor ailments like Flu. 

I was awed from the first page, as the authors went into detail, even giving the scientific names of the herbs mentioned. I particularly loved how the uses of the natural herbs and spices were listed. Nothing complex; the language used is simple for the mind that you cannot mess up when mixing up your brew.

Addition of the images in the book was a thoughtful move by the authors. When reading about a plant or herb you perhaps have never heard of, you may not easily picture its size how it looks like. Having the images on the side enabled me to understand more about the herbs, even know the colors and shapes of some of them.

Know how it feels when you check out a word on any search engine online? This book is a search engine for essential oils and herbal teas. The authors covered every important aspect that needed covering.  They also did an amazing job with the explanation. I

I thoroughly enjoyed reading “Essential Oils, Teas, and Self Care” as I’m now able to differentiate the different herbs and know what to use when.  Self-care is important and the authors ensured that the reader understood that throughout the book. One of the many good things I loved about this book was the introduction part. When talking about individual plants or products, the authors had a few lines expounding about the said herb, just so the reader has an idea of what is being discussed.

Who knew essential oils were this beneficial? From aromatherapy to skin care, hair conditioning, reducing inflammation, treating acne, relaxation, reducing stress, improving circulation, regulating menstrual cramps etc. The book has so much more; that once you finish reading you will be a little bit of an expert when talking about essential oils and other herbs.

I love that at the start of the book, the authors reminded the reader to check with their health care providers to consult on safety and caution of the products. It is a great read, that can be enjoyed by readers across the board. Reading this book basically means that you learn more about taking care of your body, and with natural remedies, how fantastic! Everyone should read “Essential Oils, Teas, and Self Care”.
