My Favorite Aromatherapy Resources

Essential oil discussions
Written By Luvo Studio's

This is going to be a compiled list of all my favorite and trusted aromatherapy resources, to make it easy for anyone else who wants to be sure in essential oils safety and guidelines. I will section this off by type of resource and also link to where you can easily find them as well. I won’t go into too much detail beyond why I like them and how they are useful. I want this to be a simple guide for anyone looking for resources and want to be sure they are trusted sources.

Books:

  • Essential Oil Safety by Robert Tisserand and Rodney Young: This is a great book packed full of information, mostly for healthcare professionals but aromatherapists can benefit from this one as well. I wouldn’t recommend this to just anyone, unless you are studying aromatherapy it isn’t going to make a lot of sense. It’s more difficult to understand Thant most other books.

  • Essential Oil Profiles by Lea Jacobson: This is a great book to have for anyone interested in aromatherapy and essential oils. Its easy to understand and it tackles the most common essential oils, gives uses/safety and tackles things like; dilutions, pregnancy/breastfeeding and use with babies and children

  • Essential Oils Safety Files by Lea Jacobson: Another great book for anyone interested in aromatherapy or essential oils in general. This one expands on the safety of even more essential oils, however it does lack therapeutic uses. This is a great one to have to cross reference contradictions and safety usage, especially for topical maxes.

  • Therapeutic Blending with Essential Oil by Rebecca Park Totilo: I love this book as a quick reference guide for essential oils recipes, with an overview on the history of essential oils as well as what they are and how to blend this is a great book. It also overviews in detail on how to blend by essential oil notes, as well as what it means when they say an essential oil note. Then it lists the oils good for ailments, and lists them by notes. This makes for some easy blending for recipes when I am stumped as to what oils would be best.

  • Pregnancy, Birth and Baby Care with Essential Oil by Rebecca Park Totilo: Another great recipe book with information on how to use essential oils. This book details great ways to use essential oils to support throughout pregnancy, childbirth and baby care. There are a couple recipes I personally wouldn’t recommend myself but overall this book is wonderful and I adore it.

Online Resources:

  • Plant Therapy Blog: Plant therapy has got to be one of my favorite online resources, with an easy access blog and topics covering a multitude of questions its awesome and user friendly. They are run by aromatherapists as well, and don’t hide anything-total honesty with anything I have contacted them over. Definitely a great resource.

  • Lea Jacobsons online Club: You can opt for the free version and sign up for emails or pay for the VIP and get even more access. Lea Jacobsons is absolutely my favorite and my one stop for all things essential oils. I just get the emails and free access for now but that alone has already expanded my knowledge on essential oils and usage.

  • Tisserand Blog: I use this one the least, but it’s still a good resource to put out there. The blog is free, and also Tisserand offers many classes (some cost and some are free, some live and some not) so it’s a good one to keep in mind when looking for essential oil tips and knowledge.

Social Media Presences:

I will do this in 2 parts, certified aromatherapists and aromatherapist students who I feel share appropriate tips and safety that they are a great resource to have on hand and follow.

Certified Aromatherapists I love:

Aromatherapy Students I love:

These are all the resources that I use, love and connect with. I do have many more that I have looked into or own but I only listed the ones I 100% trust and would recommend to others. All of these are great resources to have even if you are just into essential oils. While the Tisserand book might be a little harder to understand and not easily read it’s still a great one. I would recommend getting Lea Jacobsons books because those are amazing to have. Also follow the sites and pages I listed as well for daily aromatherapy tips. Getting good essential oil knowledge doesn’t need to break the bank, and a lot of the resources listed are free.
