The essentials of healing is a coffee table book based on a beginner’s guide to using essential oils to heal minor sicknesses, aid discomfort, and basic housekeeping. The book stresses in the opening pages that these methods are not to replace common medical practices but help the average person treat themselves holistically. The best approach to this book was clean and fresh. Pairing lush green photographs with stark white pages and blocks of colour make the content easily digestible.
