The Essential Cards provide the essential facts on essential oils!
The information is concise and reliable, presented in a clear and logical structure, and enhanced by illustrations and chemical profiles. The latter, or Caddy Classic Profiles, also feature on the reverse of each card, partly to assist memorisation, but also for their unique ability to reveal an oil's nature at a glance. Caddy Classic Profiles depict the chemical make-up of typical oil samples. A range of eleven colours represents the chemical families that an oil may contain, from medium blue for the more gentle, relaxing esters, through to bright red for the more powerful phenols.

Cards 1.3 and 2.3 give the Key to the Chemical Families, which lists the possible properties for each chemical family. By using the Key Card to read the different Profiles, you will become increasingly familiar with the various chemical constituents.

While essential oils work synergistically, an oil's Profile helps to gauge its possible actions, usage and precautions, and should prove very helpful when selecting oils for treatments. The Essential Cards thus constitute an invaluable learning and reference tool for both students and qualified aromatherapists.
