Editorial Reviews

Review

The Wise Woman tradition is the way of nourishment and sustenance, rather than of "fixing" and "curing." With that in mind, Susun Weed introduces us to seven herbs and encourages us to get to know these Green Allies by spending time with them. Food and medicine recipes are given for each herb, as well as fun facts and literary references. Susun also includes detailed instructions for making herbal preparations such as infusions, tinctures, oils and poultices. Her knowledge of herbs is quite evident, as is her commitment to the Wise Woman way of life. Even though only seven herbs are presented here, I felt like I gained more usable information from Healing Wise than I have from any of the encyclopedic herbals I own. -- From The WomanSource Catalog & Review: Tools for Connecting the Community for Women; review by FGP

Product Description

5.0 out of 5 stars Full of information and fun. Susan Weed is great!, December 31, 2002
By C. F. Whitcher "Christina Francine" (Cambridge, N.Y. United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Healing Wise (Wise Woman Herbal Series) (Paperback)
This creative herbal healing guide will teach herbalists of all levels. Susan Weed gently offers information about three traditional ways of healing along with insightful aspects of each. She goes on to explain that the Wise Woman Traditions are nourishing and simple, easy approach to healing.

Later, in the book, Weed shares her knowledge of alternative healing with seven common, abundant herbs. She teaches in an entertaining way the nutrients contained in each, the effect they have on the body, and a variety of ways to prepare and use them. Weed offers her knowledge in such a fashion that the reader suddenly realizes they are refreshed. It's almost as if they just visited an earthy scented forest or a butterfly filled, grass-waving field.

To add further to the good feelings this guide presents Toni Bernhard sprinkles charming illustrations throughout the book and Alan McKnight a watercolor book-cover along with delightful calligraphic plant names. Susan Weed follows through with her belief that healing comes first by nourishment. She feeds reader's souls with the way she writes. One cannot help but relax and have fun reading and using this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Healing Wise is in my top five herbal texts..., November 3, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Healing Wise (Wise Woman Herbal Series) (Paperback)
Written simply and effectively, Healing Wise is one of the very best herbal texts I have come across. Weed's emphasis on a small number of herbs having the ability to do a great many things is important--it is a "back to basics" approach, one that I feel is essential in this day of "more, better, best".

Though I utilize many other herbals, Healing Wise is the book I usually grab first. Thank you Ms. Weed for opening my eyes (and heart) a little wider to the world around me, I am grateful.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantasic!, August 30, 2003
By merrymousies (Waterford, VA USA) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
This review is from: Healing Wise (Wise Woman Herbal Series) (Paperback)
The writing is fun to read and the content is top notch. I really enjoy the legend and lore as well as the praactical information about how to use the herbs. Its very straightforward in terms of explaining the benefits of the plants and why and doesn't get all complicated with the need to make weird concoctions. Very straightforward and accessible info. I wish this were an encyclopedia in length.
