Summary: A wonderful herbal remedies book for beginners...
Review: Does not cover alot of different herbs but the ones that she does cover are usually easy to find and prove very multi-faceted. The book has a nice section on preparing herbs ,tinctures etc..that is easy even for beginning herbal enthusiasts as well as a handy "symptom guide" to find what will work in different situations quickly. The cover art is not all glossy or artsy like some but instead much like the content within... natural,workable & easy to get into. I use this book often and will continue to until we are both old and worn.(-_-)

Summary: Great for the budding herbalist
Review: I purchased this book hoping that it would guide me in the creation of herbal remedies -- I'd always had a culinary herb garden and wanted to expland my horizons. I wasn't disappointed -- there were many simple recipes for decoctions, poultices, and other non-culinary herb uses. However, some -- okay, many! -- of the descriptions and instructions were beyond what the simple practicioner or budding herbalist could understand. In the end, I just use the recipes I've marked and ignore the rest of the book.

Summary: The Art of Simpling...
Review: Simpling refers to a method of learning herbalism. Choose an herb and explore every facet of it - leaves, petals roots, uses, dangers - inside and out. When you finally "know" that, then and only then, choose a second herb to get to know. This book is an amazing primer for beginners to herbalism. I chafed its simplicity at first, "More herbs! Its too basic!", until I really began to learn my first herb, catnip. Then I realized how silly I'd been and how very much there was to learn. This book is a bible for beginners!
