How to Be Your Own Herbal Pharmacist

Rating:
Summary: Best book if you can afford only one.
Review: The reference shelf at our store is full of books on herbs, herbal remedies, properties of herbs, and uses of herbs. This is simply the best one to own if you could have Only one. It covers sources, preparation, conditions that may be addressed by use of herbs, descriptions of herb properties, and other book titles for more-in-depth studies. No glossy photos, no analysis of their constituent components. Just a great reference for someone interested in safer alternatives to prescription medications or preventative self-care.

Summary: Wonderful, useful book
Review: This book changed my life. I borrowed it from my library and went out and bought it the next day. I had hormonal problems and wanted to use natural remidies to help get me balanced again. I had done tons of research into herbs and herbal remidies, but it wasn't untill I got this book that I finaly took some action. This book is the most user-friendly, comprehenive, and info filled book I have run across. It has everything from lists of herbs for specific things(like hormone imbalance) to how to make your own toothpaste.It also has a deatiled list on all the herbs used in the book. With info on herbs, remidies, herbal cosmetics, aromatherapy, even herbal gardening I belive this book to the best start for anyone intersted in using herbs, and I would recomend it to anyone, even those with lots of experience using herbs. Wonderful find.
