This is a very helpful book to have on hand. It gives an overview of basic herbs explaining their uses, alternate names, part of herb used, and any additional comments. There is also a section explaining how to make poultices, teas, etc. The most useful section, in my opinion, is the "Traditional or Historical Medicinal Uses for Herbs" chapter. Here, you can look up a symptom and find which herbs may be helpful for you. The book also contains cautionary information about the misuse of herbs.
