Summary: I recommend this to my customers
Review: As a practicing Herbalist i have found this to be my most favored book of the many I have. I had used this book so much within the first 4 months after I purchased it the binding began to seperate . I had to take it to a place that would do a spiral binding. I used this book all through out my herbal apprentice with Rosemary Gladstar.Very easy to use and understand. I recommend this book when I give herbal lectures.

Summary: Should be called an herb bible
Review: Every time you read it, you find something you didn't see before. I have dozens of herb books. It never fails to amaze me how thorough this book is. If you want info on an obscure herb or obscure info on a common herb, this is the book for you. I'm glad to see there is a spiral bound version. I'm buying a second copy to have it in spiral. It is literally a book you can study from and want to take notes from. The spiral version will make that easier.

Summary: WONDERFUL REFERENCE OF INDIVIDUAL HERBS
Review: This book is absolutely the best one I have seen when it comes to being thorough for the different uses of each herb. It has listings of primary and secondary conditions affected by the herbs, after a write up of usually close to a page on each one. In the write up it elaborates on many of the uses, and often gives historical uses. I find it a vital reference guide and refer to it VERY often!!! Is easy to understand, contains warnings about the herbs that need it, and is really the most informative guide to herbal usage. I bought the new, soft paperbound book, and it fell apart on the way home from the store. After using it for a while I decided it was invaluable and ordered (YEAY!) a spiral bound book from Amazon.com. I definitely recommend the spiral bound as the way to go if you can get it! But even if you get a paperbound copy and it should fall apart, it is worth 50 times the money, and worth the extra care you need to take of the book. (Hopefully everyone is not as physically "hard" on books as I am!)

This book is a QUICK reference and answers most common herb questions. Further, it gives excellent herbal combinations for common problems like sinuses, Pms, pain relief, cold/flu/fever, female problems, etc. This book is an wonderful resource on how herbal nutrition can enhance your health.

Summary: Best herbal book I own, hands down.
Review: This little book (400 pages in paperbound volume) is so handy. It is such a good herbal reference because it lists individual herbs, herbal combinations, Chinese herbs and combinations (which is important, as Chinese herbs are almost always used in combination.) Common herbs as well as less familiar ones used in Western herbal medicine are included with much helpful detail. The Chinese herbal section is better than those I have seen in many other books including ones solely on Chinese herbs. This section gives the Chinese and common name, alternative names, the action and the yin/yang (dry, moist) type of action. While not a comprehensive Chinese herbal and not a substitute for years of education in TCM (traditional Chinese medicine) the section on Chinese herbs is a very helpful reference. There is a lot of information packed into this book. Highly recommended.
