I use this book on a weekly basis. Especially helpful are the recipes for salves, teas and other household items. The salves we've made based on their recipes have been GREAT. The format of the book is easy to read for pleasure as well as on the spot referencing. I just wish there was a companion version focused on children's herbal care. Very recommended.

This book is a wonderful sourse of information about health,illness,herbs and their properties. Many helpful recipes. It does lack a guide as to how much of the herbs to use for body mass - which is critical in not over or under using the herb as a medicine.

This is one of the best herb books I've come across. The pictures and drawings of the herbs are excellent. The information is organized according to the seasons of a woman's life--puberty, motherhood, menopause, etc. There is also a lot of information on herbs for children and a section for general family care. A table at the end summarizing which herbs are useful for which ailments is a huge help when you are in a big hurry to find a remedy. Any woman who uses herbs at all should have this book. It's well worth the money.

When I had my first child, I was in bed for 2 weeks hardly able to walk from the pain. It took me a whole year before I did not feel some kind of pain now and then if I walked a lot.

My friend loaned me this fantastic book and after following the childbirth recommendations for herbs, I can say with certainty, that 10 minutes after giving birth, I was up and around without any pain at all- EVER! Not even with an episiotomy!

My daughter was just as large as my son was too.

This book is a very thorough reference book with a LOT of information for women-specific problems.

Each herb has a color photo of it along with in depth descriptions of the herb, history and uses.

I found this book to be fabulous and a very important book to have. The delivery of my daughter was a shock to me- NO AFTER PAIN!

By the way, the birth pains were still strong- just the after pains were not there at all.

This book has saved me hundreds of dollars in medical bills for the past 6 months. I have monthly urinary track infections, which cost money I rather spend somewhere else. This book gave me the remedy I needed to cure myself and save my wallet. I recommend this book to any woman who suffers like I do, it's great!

This beautifully written book speaks to women and women's health only. The author realizes the like between human's and God's medicine. She takes us through all seasons of a woman's life. This is a "must have' book for any herbalists shelf!!

I have owned this book for years & I have to say that is one of my most used books that I own , which is saying a lot. I love this book. Anytime I have a question about an herb or if I have some problems that I would like to first try to heal naturally this is the book. I can't say enough good things about this book.

I can warmly recommend this fantastic book. If i only could buy one book about herbs this would be it. It discribes a wide range of different herbs and its contents have not much more to ask fore. Buy it!
