THE BIBLE OF HERBAL MEDICINE!
This is a complete, comprehensive guide to herbs, from identifying, growing, harvesting, herbal remedies including SAFETY, including a glossary, index, index of herbs by ailment, useful websites and more! It’s illustrated by photography. I personally like that warnings are given about certain plants. Pharmaceutical use and history is very interesting as well! Whatever herbal/plant books you may have, this should be your herbal medicine textbook.

We lost everything during Hurricane Irma and slowly I have been buying books to replace the ones I lost (though not all could be replaced cause they were limited and rare), however, I order this and am 💯 amazed!!!! Thank you so much!!!! I encourage others to buy this as well if you are looking for a solid herbal medicine book that goes into detail like this!!!!

Fantastic gift.
This was a fantastic gift for my mother in law who is interested in herbalism. It reads like a very user friendly text book. Best part for me is the illustrations, it helped me engage way more with the information. The hardcover and page quality are beautiful. It’s also just information and not “woo woo” for those that matters to. Great purchase!
