Advanced herbalists. Not meant for starting out in learning your herbs.

Some people call this a simple book.But then some people call this an advanced book.When you know what you are doing and you already hold so much knowledge and have so many books as it is that go into such great depth of each herb, what it does, and all the pictures you could possibly need, yes a condensed recipe book is extremely nice to have and is a unique addition to my library.This book is not meant for you to be learning about your herbs.This book is meant for you to know your herbs.Beginners won't necessarily know what to do with this book unless they have all the herbs and are on a han

Excellent for all levels of herbalists!

I found this book to be excellent and even better than expected. I have been studying herbalism for a few years now, so am not a beginner, but not a clinical herbalist either. It is perfect both for someone just beginning their herbal journey as the information is written in an approachable and usable fashion, however I also believe the more advanced herbalist would benefit from this text as there are numerous details included along with a chapter on advanced techniques. Additionally there is information on essential oils, flower waters and the like, that tends to be something more familiar to

Great book

Came in good condition. I LOVE this book. Besides all the information, the size is perfect since I'm constantly opening and closing to look up an herb. It's approx 7-1/2"x9" which includes the spiral. The herb list is long, it explains what it's used for, any warnings, the energetics, the properties, where to buy it, dosage forms. There are sections about making herbal preparations with fresh plants, extractions, etc. along with a few pictures of the equipment. I used this book to study for becoming a Naturopath.

Great find but needs an update

The good thing about this book is it’s obvious the authors have extensive hands on experience working with herbs. There’s a lot of tips and nuances that they offer which makes me really enjoy reading this book. There’s so much to learn. The book also includes a section on herbs and their properties including some that are difficult to find info on. The only thing is that the authors present a multitude of solvents for herbal extractions but they have a clear preference for alcohol extracts which I personally try to stear clear of or use as little as possible because of its dampening effects.

A REAL and KNOWLEDGEABLE (NOT-AI) BOOK

Hardback is a beautiful book with a ribbon page marker. Very nice.This book can be reasonably TRUSTED because it was written BEFORE greedy and un-knowledgeable folks created fake books via A"I".

Very thorough book

This was on my wife’s wishlist, and so I purchased it for as she is into plants and herbs, and usually tries natural remedies at home before resorting to pharmaceuticals. I’m not sure if I’m happy about it though, as she’s had her face in it since Sunday and already has several bookmarks.She mentioned it is one of the better books for herbal remedies and that she finds it very informative as well as learning many things she didn’t already know.

Thoroughly informative

Very good book. Quality information. Gives you not only the information you know you need but what you have not considered yet 🤔. Very thorough,and well written.If you get no other book to start, this is the one it should be.
