Not sure where to start with medicinal herbs, then this is the book for you.

Not sure where to start with medicinal herbs, then this is the book for you. This is a great book for beginners and seasoned herbalist :) simple and to the point, not over worded like some books I have. The pages are falling out of mine because I use it so much :) and MUST HAVE for those wanting to start learn how to make their own oils and tinctures

Excellent Beginner Herbal Book

I have purchased many herb books. This is by far the best resource for basic herbs I've found. This is the book I use the most and find easiest to relate to. The author knows exactly how to write to her audience.

My favorite book on herbal medicine.

I go back to this book more than any other for information on easy to use tonic herbs.
