My 2 favorites for beginners are Mindy Green's "Aromatherapy: A Complete Guide to the Healing Art" (recently revised) and Kurt Schnaubelt's "Advanced Aromatherapy" (don't worry, there's nothing advanced about this book). Both are accurate, useful books that don't promote any particular agenda and are concerned with responsible, safe use of essential oils.<br />

I know a lot of people like the Battaglia and Worwood books, but I find they have many inaccuracies. They list a bunch of recipes and don't necessarily explain why you would be choosing to blend particular essential oils, and knowing the "why" is what makes you an aromatherapist versus someone just blindly following a recipe book and hoping for results.<br />
<br />
For the advanced practitioner, Sylla Shepard-Hanger's guides are an invaluable resource.<br />
