5.0 out of 5 stars A must have!, April 9, 2004

By	Darwi Odrade "_odrade_" (Michigan) - See all my reviews

This book was given to me as a gift and it truly is a gift that keeps on giving. I have referenced this book often and used many of the herbal remedies on myself with much success. This book is easy to read and is packed with information on safe use of healing plants.

When my friends ask me what book I recommend for wholistic health, herbalism or naturally healthy children THIS book is at the top of my list.

This is a very good reference for natural remedies, however, I was hoping it would have some information about immunizations and it did not.
