The Herbal Home Remedy Book: Simple Recipes for Tinctures, Teas, Salves, Tonics, and Syrups (Herbal Body)

"I searched Amazon.com for a book on herbs for my best friend's birthday. She is interested in using herbal products concocted by people she knows. I have at least five books on herbs including The Herb Book by John Lust. I knew she didn't want an encyclopedia and so I went looking for one that had "recipes" in it for everyday use. I checked out several, then spotted The Herbal Home Remedy Book. The author explains how she got into herbal remedies through her own family's interest and details ways to use herbs. She also cautions against using wildcrafted herbs for use in selling. I bought a copy of the book for my friend and one for me; we are planning to get together to make up some recipes. A very good book for someone who wants to do something practical and isn't looking to get a degree in herbology though this book could strike a passion for it."

"pretty good descriptions. Would have been nice to see more pictures to go along w/the descriptions. Not a bad book & would recommend it to anyone who is interested in making herbal remedies from scratch."

"This book is so wonderful. Its warm informative and inviting. It makes you want to jump in right away. The directions are clear and simple enough not to intimadate. It is a very good thing that the author suggests only non toxic plants as a start. She is an insightful and wise teacher. I am looking forward to making the medicinal wines. The stories are also a nice touch. I will be purchasing her other books."

"This is a very good, but basic herbal. It is great for someone starting out, and if this isn't in depth enough for you, or after this book, i would certainly recommedThe Herbal Medicine Maker's Handbook: A Home Manual James Green's The Herbal Medicine Maker's Handbook. "
