A must for herbalists

Reviewed in the United States on July 1, 2002

Verified Purchase

I bought an earlier version of this book probably 10 years ago and have found it to be indispensible. I, however, did want a better updated version (newer herbs gleaned from research, etc) so I bought this latest edition. I am very pleased with the book, as it offers advice on preparation, harvesting, keeping all systems of the body healthy, just like the old book. It does have some improvements, though, too. This book is in color throughout, and beautifully laid out. Each herbal entry has a photo either of the plant itself or of the root. The information is very well laid out for each entry, noting each herb's properties, uses, harvesting tips, and so on. The only real quirk that bothered me at first, was that the herbs were not listed by common name, but rather by botanical name. But in the long run I'm growing to like this, as it's forcing me to better learn the Latin names, and I think it's a good safety feature, too, since the Latin name is really the only accurate one, with all the varied names gleaned from folklore, etc. Ultimately it makes finding the right plant easier and makes it safer since you're less likely to make an error in finding the right herb for a particular ailment or condition.

I have used this book for some years now and purchased this copy for a friend. I can not recommend it any more than that.
Love the book for all the great information in it and use it almost daily. Natural herbs are so much better than all the prescriptions the doctors give you with all the bad side effects, with nature there are never bad side effects. I plan to continue using the book for back up information and when it starts to fall apart I will get another one. All the illustrations and pictures are great too.

Great Book

Reviewed in the United States on September 30, 2013

Verified Purchase

One of my top 10 favorites, definitely one of my" go to" books, a classic. Extremely informative, very well written, straight forward, easy to follow step by step instructions on preparing home medicine. A really beautiful modern herbal, it not only covers a wide array of herbs but includes in depth information on how to grow, harvest, dry, store & use each plant, it contains a cross reference by illness section as well. Beautiful illustrations & photography. One of the first books I reach for.

Reviewed in the United States on April 16, 2012

Verified Purchase

This book is so good! It has beautiful color photographs to illustrate herbs and techniques, and it has detailed, step-by-step instructions for processing herbs into various forms to use as remedies. A beginner could confidently use these instructions to make tinctures, decoctions, infusions, ointments, salves, or any other type of herbal preparation. The book is well-written, easy to understand, but detailed and in-depth.
