Very Professional and Informative by T. Fitzgerald (VA)  5 Stars
May 13, 2009
I had to buy this book for the Master Herbalist course i am taking. It has invaluable information in it; it covers a lot, from classification, preparation, and principles to treatment approaches, body systems, herbal actions and more! Recommended for the student studying to be an Herbalist for a good solid foundation. It is somewhat advanced, so a beginners course is recommened first. I took a "Family Herbalist" course first (1 year). I began using this book when i started the "Clinical Master Herbalist" Course (second year).

A great resource! by Tina Denali (Seattle, WA) 5 Stars
May 13, 2009
I am not a scientist, I am just a normal person interested in Herbal Medicine and creating my own tinctures, salves, etc for simple at home remedies.
I was worried this book might be a bit over the top for me, but I was pleasantly surprised! While, yes, the first few chapters delve a bit deep into the chemistry of it all, I have found that the rest of the book offers highly valuable information.
This book is broken into several sections, and I've found lots of useful information in the sections pertaining to the HOW of Herbal Medicine - it tells you precise ways of formulating different remedies. Also, the fully in depth index looks at each herb and goes into detail on it's uses and best preparations.
Overall I am so very happy with this book. It's one of my major resources and highly recommend it!

Love this book... by Elizabeth Rosalen (Staten Island, NY) 5 Stars
November 11, 2008
I had to buy this book as a textbook for a mentorship I am doing with an herbalist in NYC. It is thorough and well-written. It does not discount western medicine or trivialize the role that herbs can play in treatment. It presents a very well-rounded, well-researched, holistic approach to health.
