Why I wrote this encyclopedia?
My goal was to summarize all the important information needed to work with essential oils in one place. I wanted the book to be as concise as possible, without unnecessary embellishments, while offering a representative and comprehensive selection from the field.
I wanted those interested in essential oils to have a guide at hand that would always help them find their way when they were confused, and to have a reliable source for comparing information they find on the internet.
In the Czech Republic, many experts recommend this book to their clients and students as an introduction to aromatherapy, and many admit that they use it themselves as a quick reference, reminder, or inspiration. They offer it to their clients as a reliable foundation for further study.
