Summary: Simple and direct writing.
Review: This is not only a greatly helpful reference book in alphabetical order but also designed for a fine front to back read for those who are really interested in a working general knowledge of herbs. Also some knowhow for planting these herbs and growing them yourself. This is written with just enough opinion and story to make it sound like a person actually teaching you and not a textbook read. As for the technical part there is a perfectly stated order of conditions A-Z and the summary of herbs and why they help with it. Here are the conditions discussed in order, just as stated in the table of contents : Hope this is helpful- ~A~ 1.

Summary: Great reference, tons of info
Review: Written in a serious but informal style. The book offers practical advice on scores of common ailments. Most of the herbs offered up as part of cures are inexpensive and easily accessable. The author isn't afraid to say that a given remedy's success is based only on circumstantial evidence. He also doesn't insult us by qualifying every statement with liability limiting language.
