Encyclopedia of Herbal Medicine New Edition: 560 Herbs and Remedies for Common Ailments

The Encyclopedia of Herbal Medicine by Andrew Chevallier is a must-have for anyone interested in natural health and holistic wellness. This beautifully designed, comprehensive guide covers over 560 herbs, providing detailed insights into their benefits, uses, and preparation methods. I appreciate how it blends the latest scientific research with traditional wisdom, making it both informative and practical for everyday use. The clear imagery and straightforward writing make it easy to identify plants and craft your own remedies at home. Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned herbalist, this book is an invaluable resource for anyone looking to embrace the power of natural healing.

This is an excellent resource book. The book is hard covered and goes into herb origins, has pictures of each herb, and thorough/detailed explanation about how each herb has uses medically. Also, the herb book discusses medical contraindications encouraging consumer use with doctors instructions ie interactions with other medications. I highly recommend this book for people exploring herbal uses for treating ailments. ***Make sure your doctor knows what herbs you are taking because some herbs can make some mainstream medications ineffective and/or contraindicated for the ailment you are treating.

Very informative. Great read and very useful book. I like have pictures with the text and this is beautifully done.

A very complete compendium of herbal medicine. First is an encyclopedic reference of medicinal herbs, preparation and use. There also is a section on the various ways to prepare botanicals and also a list of their use arranged by malady. At the end are two very complete indices sorted by herb and by use. An excellent reference volume for those wanting to learn the proper preparation and use of medicinal herbs.

This is very thorough and helpful. I love that it not only is an encyclopedia of herbs but also gives useful instruction to using them in addition to drawings of 100 of them. The only thing I do wish it had would be a way to divide it by areas the plants grow best in/are native to in order to know where to look for them in the wild. It does give a list to some degree in the beginning where it breaks down historical herbal medicine by region.

I really liked it. It has a scientific base and it is easy to understand. It gives a lot of important data about the plants.

I just started growing an indoor herb and tea garden. It’s been so cool learning about the different uses and native habitats of so many medicinal plants. I’m happy I got the book, it was worth it.
