Customer Reviews

WELL WORTH THE PRICE OF ADMISSION!!!

There are not many things left in this world that give you MORE return on your money than you pay for. Both this book and it's companion, Prescription for Nuitritional Healing are worth their weight in GAS! I know the old standard was gold.. but Gas is worth more now. All kidding aside, I've kept both books close by since the day I purchased them. And Reccomend both books to anyone with ailments that require expensive medications. They just may surprise you!

Great reference

I bought both Nutritional Healing and Herbal Healing by Phyllis Balch. These books are a wonderful resource. I am a chronic migraine sufferer seaking alternative remedies and the suggestions in the books correlated with neurology studies using alternative methods. I would highly recommend these books to anyone seeking alternative remedies.

A wonderfully comprehensive work

I found a flyspeck on page 407 so I'm giving this book 1 star---No, this is quite simply the most complete and the most reader friendly book on herbal medicine in print today, Phyllis Balch's finest effort. Free from the biases of authors who are selling particular products or promoting their in-store information kiosks, Prescription for Herbal Healing was obviously written to help real people get well with simple remedies at the lowest possible expense in the shortest possible time with the least risk of side effects (and when I checked MedLine, there were no reports of adverse results from using baby oil). I like it even better than the Prescription for Nutritional Healing books that are, for reasons I can't understand, for better known. Even if you think you've seen it all in herbalism, buy this book.
