I love books. Real books, made of paper. But as much as I love to hold a book and flip its pages, ebooks can be so darn convenient!

I have downloaded many essential oil-related kindle books over the years. Some aren’t worth the paper they are printed on the digital footprint they take up.

And then there are others, like the ones I’ve listed for you below…I hope you enjoy them as much as I have!

Please note: if you do not own a kindle, that is OK! You can read these books right on your PC, as I often do. Download the FREE KindleforPC.

I skipped over this book countless times due to the “weight loss” in the title. I wrongly assumed the author would encourage ingestion of a bunch of EOs in the water. Not so!

I had to include this one on my list. I mean who doesn’t want to make their own essential oils? The first half of book discusses the history and background of essential oils, how to gather and dry your herbs, and a section devoted to listing what some of the essential oils are good for. The second half of the book they explain how to distill essential oils using a distiller like this one, which part of the herb to use for distillation, how to prepare your own capsules, syrups, tinctures, tonics, and teas from herbs and essential oils. Note: internal use is spoken of in general not frowned upon in this book (which was probably written for the aromatherapy professional). Click here to preview this book.
