Christine Westwood explains the methods of using the essential oils: massage, bathing, inhalation. compress diffuser,..

The book lists the oils and explains the benefits on a physical and psychological level and gives warnings on how some oils are inappropriate for babies, infants, children, pregnant women or people who are receiving homeopathic treatment. 

There are two separate indices which list physical and psychological conditions alphabetically and what is the best method in treating each. Based on this she explains blending oils based on the physical and psychological issues and the choice of the oils and adapting the dosis taking into consideration the cautions.. she also mentions how some oils are strong and therefore need only one drop. The choice of carrier oils based on skin type and how to store and for how long both blends and essential oils.

This is not a definitive work, but a very handy quick reference guide for those with a small knowledge of aromatherapy.
