It is very rewarding and it does take resources. I'm into the 100% pure essential oils which are pricey but well worth it. Herbs, spices, flowers , trees all play a role. God bless you .
I'll check it out. One of my go to books is Modern Essentials because it touches on a bit of the whole picture. It has the Auricular and reflex therapy charts in it, very handy. Using EOs can get complicated, I had to change the recipe for my dad's pain lotion because he was put on blood thinners and I was using cypress which helps with nerve pain but also increases blood flow and thins the blood. He was upset because I changed it but I had no choice safely first.
Yes, EO's are very complex to use and safety is always first. I learned how to do blends and make capsules through Johnson's book. I also use foot reflexology so I have used those charts.
It takes a lot of study to determine what to use..when. Your father is very lucky to have you. I also liked books by Dr. Kurt Schnaubelt Ph.D.
His book sounds similar to the book I use. It has blends and recipes but what I really like about it is it actually breaks down the chemical constituents , provides a history of the oil, body systems affected, safety data and which oils compliment each other and the odor notes. I'd like to get Johnson's book because books about oils are informative and well, they make me happy.
It does take a lot of study, natural doesn't always mean safe. A friend of mine is allergic to mint and I made a roller ball for hot flashes, she used it and broke out, had some breathing issues come to find out it was the clary sage after consulting my book, we found out it's in the botanical family, labiatae (mint). It's a learning experience, always.

I went on his website, out of stock. I'll have to look for his books elsewhere. There was an Amazon link but no, I'll find it eventually.
It's gold!
