I had a copy of this book when it first came out but someone stole it from me it's so good. When I saw it here I bought it again. I absolutely love the information in this book. So much knowledge to draw on as an herbologist. Just amazing!!

Expect to look up a ton of medical terms. I guess it wasnt meant for beginners?! Also, not every pla t has a picture and the pictures arent clear. Good info and you can look up by ailment in back but I needed something more dumbed down.

This is a very interesting book to use and to study. You'll find all sorts of things you never knew before. Things that you'll be thankful you knew in the future. It's also a great reference book for natural cures and treatments to various minor (or major) medical situations.

It's easy to navigate, easy to read, and easy to get what you need or want to know from it quickly :) Fantastic book to read, especially if you live in the country, or the woods.

this is a great hand book to have with you where ever you go and to be able to use this and the bigger other companion with the last Indian book that I rated and to be able to study the wonderful natural things Alternatives to conventional medicine which is failing so miserably and just to be able to know what to do and where to find everything other than just at an herb or heath food store where you'd only find bottles of capsuls or tablets or tunctures is rewarding as life it self is.
