Great information
This book was really insightful. I learned many things from this book about many herbs. Like did you know rosemary is a good source of calcium, b12, iron. People use it in teas some times helps with muscle aches. I had no idea so I enjoyed reading all the things these household herbs can be used.

Lots of great info!
I've wanted to look into herbalism for a while, and this book has a wealth of information that I'll definitely be able to use! It explains in great detail the benefits of using herbs as opposed to only Western medicine, and everything is backed up with sources and personal experience from the author.I was especially interested in the herbs that help with allergies and anxiety. If you've got a green thumb, it explains how to grow and prep these plants your self. I'm not a gardener, but I have plenty of ideas of how to use these herbs to help with my own issues. And I know plenty of people who could use this guide, too. Will for sure share it around!

Using herbs for medicine
I grew up with my grandmother making home remedies for one ailment or another out of herbs and plants. I want to start doing that, as I'm taking a lot of chemical meditation, and I want all natural. This book explains the herbs to grow and what they are used for. Herbs can be used for keeping your heart healthy, treat dementia, for children's ailments, and so forth. There are some nice recipes to try, like the elderberry syrup, that helps strengthen your immune system. This is a good book for helping with ailments, Young and old.

Thoughtful author… thank you
I am a beginner in this subject. I have always used some herbs as remedies for cold like ginger and garlic. Most recently started using rosemary to cook, but I knew that there was much more to learn, but did not know where to begin. I am so happy that this was my first book. It took me through history of these wonderful herbs and much more. This will definitely be one of my go to books. I thank the author for taking the time to do the research and bring it to readers in such a thoughtful manner. Easy to ready and to understand. Gets you excited of all the possibilities and desire to keep learning. Highly recommended.

This book is rubbish
Very disappointing. Nothing about herbalism at all. This book is a collection of paragraphs from internet. It does not walk you through different types of herbs and for what condition (damp, cooling, warming etc) this is just a small pitiful book. I don't even know who wrote it. No names. Maybe just a computer. I'm sending it back

Concise and Informative!
This book made me feel as though I was sipping tea on a porch with a friend, discussing herbalism. As any reader will tell you, creating that feeling for readers is not easy. Well done!This unassuming little book is in fact a great wealth of knowledge (without being overwhelming or too wordy, which I appreciate!) It is written in a casual, friendly tone while still being very professional - again, not easy to accomplish. And the layout is simply stunning. Not in-your-face flashy but clearly a lot of time and thought was put into the reader’s experience from the first page to the last (it was a great experience!).I highly recommend this book for anyone wanting to learn more about herbalism. No matter whether you are new to the subject or have been on this path for some time, I’m positive you will find something in these pages that will make you glad you picked it up!
