Great book! Lost of pictures and quite fun to read and learn from! Most herd books where kinda boring to me and I couldn't read them, but this one! It's amazing! I have a very great interest in this book so it'll make it easier to learn!

Excellent!

This book was wonderful at helping me recognize and distinguish herbs and learn about all their valuable traits. It was very well written and easy to understand. I am obsessed!

Excellent Reference Book

When I was a beginning herb user, I found her Complete Medicinal Herbal enormously helpful. This book is an expansion of that one with the same information plus a great deal more. I recommend it highly to anyone who is not familiar with the world of herb healing. The pictures are excellent and the information comprehensive (warnings for excess use, etc, are very good). I have other books about herbs, but this is the easiest to understand and utilize.

Excellent! A must for anyone interested in medicinal herbs

This is an outstanding book for anyone interested in medicinal herbs and their uses. It has line drawings and also large, quality color photographs of herbs and parts of the herbs to be used. A "How To Use Section" to know the application of a specific herb for a specific ailment. How to make ointments, oils, salves etc. It is an A-Z book for anyone who wants the history and current use of medicinal herbs. Excellent!
