Excellent Book. One of the most thorough books on herbal medicines, remedies, and traditions. A lot of scientific and medical information detailing the plants, their constituents, and applications. Each entry is easy to understand and lists different methods of use. And because it is a Dorling Kindersley Publication it has a great layout with beautiful pictures throughout! If you are interested in DIY and maintaining your well being naturally, I would highly recommend this particular book. F.S.

I replaced this book for the one I lost in the Camp fire of 11/08/2018. We've just gotten back into a home and there were some books and items I wanted to replace as we lost everything we had. Being in our 70's, most things aren't even around that we were looking for. I was so happy to find this book as my Mom had given it to me years ago, when it came out. My memory isn't as good now as it used to be, but, this book is very clear and easy to understand, even for a beginner. Yes, I would recommend this book.

The used book itself is better quality than advertised. The content was disappointing. It is hailed as a must have but the very basic information can be found in many similar books. No great insight, just a cursory overview. Would be acceptable for someone new to using herbs.

I had gotten this book as a gift, and loved it. I loaned it to a friend, and she liked it as well because it took her a long time to return it.So I ordered one for her as a gift. The book has beautiful illustrations, and very easy to read instructions for making herbal recipes for healing. It explains in great detail all of the herbs and their medicinal qualities. A great handbook for reference purposes.
This book is great!!! covers all the basics, shows pictures of the herbs, shows what plant has oils: what they are used for, which parts of the plants are used, how to dry them, shows you how to make herbal remedies, how to make infused oils, creams and ointments, even a herbal first aid kit, and etc. I would recommend this book for any beginner or just any person who is looking for a great book with a lot of good information, its simple and a great reference to look back on
