5.0 out of 5 stars Most Loved Herb Book!!!, December 26, 2008
I love this book, from its use of plant scetches to its easy to understand format, to the fact it is actually in alphabetical order. I have been studying the usage of herbs since I was 13, and of all my books on herbs this one by far is my best and most used.

I would recomend it as very practical for modern usage as it tells the Name, Offical name, features, medical parts, uses, doseage, etc. It is a must for an herbalists bookshelf or for those into native american plants and culture.

5.0 out of 5 stars Healing Naturally, January 11, 2007
This book is a great handbook of many Native American Herbs available to the public some of which can be found in an ordinary supermarket. However, if you truly believe in holistic healing amd homeopathic medicines like I do, you would be better off goiing to the source or to your health store. Some vitamins and herbs need to be taken on a daily basis so you can get the maximum results.
It explains the different medicininal uses, their origins, and the history behind it. A very informative book, and a must for those interested in holistic medicines.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very useful., May 29, 2009
By C. Bailey "Adams" (Washington D.C.) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is a very interesting book to use and to study. You'll find all sorts of things you never knew before. Things that you'll be thankful you knew in the future. It's also a great reference book for natural cures and treatments to various minor (or major) medical situations.

It's easy to navigate, easy to read, and easy to get what you need or want to know from it quickly :) Fantastic book to read, especially if you live in the country, or the woods.
