Concise and to the point

Appreciate the illustrations and photographs, helps with plant identification

Love this book!

I found this book by research, and looked it up on internet archives. I tried to take notes, but quickly realized that I needed the whole book. It is truly the most amazing herb book I have ever looked at so far. I have practiced with herbs for almost 7 years, and have read many books, but nothing comes close to this one. I would recommend this book above all others.

THE ONLY HERB BOOK YOU WILL NEED

This is the best herb book around. Mostly when an herb book is written, an author will gather information on different herbs and write them in a book Michael Tiera is different. He has used all of these herbs himself. He has studied with native cultures and writes from experience. He uses Chinese medicine and herbs. He uses American herbs. He also uses Ayervedic techniques. He treats the whole body and not just the symptoms.This book is broken down in an easy to use method. He will list an herb and all of it's properties and how it is used.

A must have for any herbalist library!

Mr. Tierra's reference on herbs is a wonderful addition to my collection. I would strongly recommend it to those who are just starting out in herbology as a first book, or to those who are seasoned pros...This is also a text for many schools of natural medicine

The herbalist's must-have

This is perhaps the best book on herbal medicine I have ever read. Tierra covers not only the botanical and therapeutic properties of herbs, he shows with great clarity how they fit into the wider context of holistic healing. His integration of traditional Western herbalism with Chinese and Ayurvedic medicine--and he is a master of all three--justifies his proprietary name of "Planetary Medicine."

Complete, accurate information on herb usage for everyone.

This book has been my herbal "bible" for going on eight years. It is the most complete book I have seen, giving biochemical constituents, dosage and other necessary information. I recommend it in all my herb workshops and lectures. It has information for everyone, from beginer to advanced student. A "must have" for anyone interested in the healing power of plants.
