I've been an herbalist for over 20 years and this book is the best book I've found on herbology. It is a great reference book. You can look up illnesses and it will list what herbs have been historically used for that illness. You can also look up a herb and it will list what illnesses it has been used for. There is also a great reference section on vitamins and on pregnancy.

Buy this book!

I was told about this book by a friend whom I consider to be an expert herbalist. She told me its a good place to start in my reading. I've already read through it once and can't wait to devour it again. There is so much lost art in this book-information on poultices, remedy combinations as well as a section on individual herbs. The only drawbacks to this book are that the index isn't that thorough, and it doesn't have a section on cancer remedies; however it lists under individual herbs if they are used for cancer treatment. Not sure why that is. Having said that, this book is well worth the 12.00 I paid. I'd probably pay a lot more now that I know how much information it has! It doesn't get much into why/how they work-- it just lists combinations of herbs and individual herbs and what they cleanse/balance/heal. Its not so much a book for those who aren't sure about herbs or alternative medicine because it doesn't give in depth rationale or anything, but if you've done enough reading to have bought into the philosophy and you just need a good working reference guide, this book's for you. I immediately felt it was a good source because what I started reading jived with some of the information I already knew.

I've already started using the remedy suggestions for asthma and I'm completely off my Singular after being on it for five years. This book also has suggestions for cleansing enemas and fruit/juice fasting. Very helpful guidelines. My suggestion is to buy it and then just make your own tabs for it. Not that hard to do but I wouldn't trade the info in this book for the world. I'm so excited to have found this book. You will too. There's a reason there have already been 19 printings since it was first printed in the 70's.

This is an excellent book with so much helpful information about herbs, vitamins, home remedies, etc. I learned of this book from the herb store I shop at. The owner used it to find information for me when we were discussing certain vitamins and herb products I wanted to purchase. She says that she would not want to be without this book. I used one of the home remedies to remove a corn - it worked! Also, I received this book in record time (FAST) from the seller.

I've probably had this book for at least 10 years (and am looking again for Christmas gifts). My book is a mess I use it so much! I have several other herb books but they collect dust on my shelves. This book is so in depth but layed out in an extremely easy to use format. It is set up so you can research from any angle whether it be by the herb itself, an ailment or even by vitamins and minerals. What more do you need! If you are interested in natural health, your referance library is far from complete without this book!

This book was not about growing herbs but about the many valuable ways they can be used.
It is very interesting.

The How To Herb Book is an excellent way to begin your health improvement regime.
As we age, we discover aches and pains, we were fortunate to not experience previously. This book is packed with natural inexpensive remedies you can apply to make you feel whole again. Herbs have been used for years, long before the time you could take a pill and "solve" your problems. Herbal medicine is inexpensive and safe if you follow a few simple rules. This book will help you discover for yourself the healing properties of common herbs found all around us.
