Customer Reviews

A great reference book for all Herbalism students!

The Herbal Handbook by David Hoffmann is a great source of definitions of actions of the most commonly used herbs. Also of interest is the chemistry of plants, the body systems and their recommended herbs, which include methods of preparation for medicinal and cosmetic use.The incredible amount of information in this book is easy to read. The section on actions is the most comprehensive I have read yet!This title should be in every Herbalists personal library!Beth Anne Haigler, Medicial Herbalist
