5.0 out of 5 stars A Useful Primer for Beginners January 5, 2012

By B. Nadine Feldman

I already own several herb books, but I bought this one because I loved the title. I wish I would have bought it as my first herb book, as the author removes anything intimidating about working with herbs. I've had to "weed" through other books that were aimed more at aspiring herbalists rather than those of us who just want to know what herb to use for which condition. Others were too esoteric for my taste. Herbs Gone Wild! works for those of us who want practical, easy-to-use remedies.

5.0 out of 5 stars An informative and engaging must-have September 27, 2011

So here's the thing: I'm not a non-fiction reader. I read mainly for enjoyment, and only pick up non-fiction books when I'm looking for important information. That important information is EXACTLY why I started reading Herbs Gone Wild -- because I knew that cold and flu season was coming up, and I wanted to "arm" myself in advance for the onslaught. Imagine my surprise when I couldn't put it down! Diane Kidman's use of wry humor and engaging storytelling make this valuable resource a quick read. And the information it contains is nothing short of miraculous. I've already made a batch of cherry cough syrup, and have several other recipes bookmarked for the upcoming sniffle season. You can't go wrong with this book -- it's an informative and engaging must-have.

This book is one of the best herb books I have read. Very simple and straight forward. I fell as though I can actually make the tincture and salve, where as other books describe it in a complex way.
