By	Alan Tillotson (Wilmington, DE USA) - See all my reviews

David Winston is one of the most respected herbalists in America, so it is no surpise that his depth of knowledge shines through in this book. In some ways it is incredible. With ease he quotes references over the past few centuries, clearly explains the known ethnobotanical and scientific literature, and then tells you exactly how to use this plant for improving health in easy to understand terms. I should know - this book gave me the solution for my son's difficult acne problem. Get this book.
