The second edition of this book is virtually a new book. It is the only comprehensive text on the safety of essential oils, the first review of essential oil/drug interactions, and it provides detailed essential oil constituent data not found in any other text. Much of the existing text has been re-written, and 80% of the text is completely new. There are 400 comprehensive essential oil profiles and almost 4000 references. There are new chapters on the respiratory system, the cardiovascular system, the urinary system, the digestive system and the nervous system. For each essential oil there is a full breakdown of constituents, and a clear categorization of hazards and risks, with recommended maximum doses and concentrations. There are also 206 Constituent Profiles.There is considerable discussion of carcinogens, the human relevance of some of the animal data, the validity of treating an essential oil as if it was a single chemical, and the arbitrary nature of uncertainty factors. There is a critique of current regulations.

I have not put this down since I received it. Yes it is a bit over my head as I am no chemistry major, and I find myself having to look up many words to know what they are talking about as it written like a textbook. But, it is all based on facts and studies, gives recommendations on whether it is actually safe or not orally, skin sensitivities, the safe amounts, etc. As I'm new to essential oils, I wanted to do it right, without all of the misleading info I was sure I was seeing on some EO pages for big oil companies. After reading a few pages, I know those companies are pushing products unsafely at times, and I am glad I purchased this book. You can't put price on this kind of quality. I bought a used version to save a few $, but still worth every penny!!!!!.I just got myself some tabs for easy finding of pages, as I have to go to glossary a lot, and it is a huge book. It has already made it easier, and not so overwhelming. I am already finding other books I've purchased recently inadequate comparably.
