This review is from: 10 Essential Herbs (Paperback)

I have a large library of natural healing and nutritional books and this book is ALWAYS the one that works for me, our family and even our pets. Lalitha has written a masterpiece in this book and everything she features in it is easy to get and some of it probably grows in your yard or somewhere near by. I have personally seen terrible conditions healed quickly and thoroughly with remedies laid out in this book, and I have two copies in case I can not find one in an emergency.

The book is well laid out, easy to look up, excellent index and each herb has a delightful profile page.

It is like a course in herbs and you will learn a lot.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is a wonderful book!, January 8, 2000

This review is from: 10 Essential Herbs (Paperback)

This is a great book for anyone that wants to take responsibility for maintaining good health with herbs. The directions and recipes are simple and I like the little success stories scattered throughout the book. All of the herbs addressed are easy to come by too, so everyone can participate as much as they like. The author does use chaparral and comfrey internally, but no one should take any herb every day, and some people are allergic to pharmaceuticals and drugs too, so use common sense! This book is very inspirational, and I use many of the remedies myself.
