Customer Reviews

Good book, very interesting

This book is very informative. I like how it has many businesses listed in the back that sells herbs, herb seeds, plus much more. Many are online where you can see what they have available. It has detailed directions to make your own tea and tinctures. If you're looking for a more natural approach to improving your health, this a helpful book.

happy surprise

Not only is this book filled with fun facts about healing herbs, it explains and provides the reader with clear pictures of simple basic steps that anyone could follow. There is quite a lot of variety,(a good thing!) from infusions/decoctions to salves etc. This book is about awareness and harnessing herbs' natural properties in a responsible manner for personal use. This book is a good addition to anyones' collection.

Every woman should get this!

I refer to this book almost every day! Everything you ever wanted to know about the benefits of herbs for women, in an easy-to-use format. If you can only buy one book about herbs, this is the one!

Great book, easy to use, especially for herbal beginners.

This book is very informative and has a lot of great remedies that are easy to make. The list of where to buy herbs is extremely helpful, plus it gives ideas about where else to look. It is a good book for newcomers to herbal remedies in that it gives an overview of what types of herbs are helpful in preventative and curative measures. Overall, a great resource to have at home.

It's about time they wrote an understandable book on herbs

The one thing I like most about this book is that it covers everything! Not just what the herb is supposed to do for you, but side effects....what the FDA has to say, what M.D.'s think, clinical trials. I love the way the book has been laid out! Look up by subject!
