Excellent Reference Book,
By A Customer
This review is from: Complete Guide to Medicinal Herbs (Hardcover)
When I was a beginning herb user, I found her Complete Medicinal Herbal enormously helpful. This book is an expansion of that one with the same information plus a great deal more. I recommend it highly to anyone who is not familiar with the world of herb healing. The pictures are excellent and the information comprehensive (warnings for excess use, etc, are very good). I have other books about herbs, but this is the easiest to understand and utilize.

I like the way this book is laid out. Lots of information and easy to cross reference for different needs. Also like the section that shows how to make tinctures etc. Very well illustrated.
