USER REVIEWS
"A handy, quick guide for those who are interested in herbalism and folk remedies.
As there tends to be a variety of common names for the same type of plant, the LMH Official Guide to Jamaican Herbs & Medicinal Plants, provides the latin names of herbs commonly used in Jamaica and the rest of the Carribean. This guide may be useful for those who already have an advanced background in herbalism, as this book does not give an indication of the amounts/measurements of herbs that can be used for a specific ailment. However, for people starting out in the field, as well as a general interest, this book can also function as a basic, but good, guide."
