5.0 out of 5 stars An amazing book
Reviewed in the United States on January 28, 2024
Verified Purchase
I saw this at a Good Earth store marked "Store Copy" and flipped through the table of contents. It's organized by diagnosis, not herb and I totally geeked out on it. It's exactly what you want if all you've got is a diagnosis and want to know what to do. I brought it home to my wife and in about 30 minutes it was filled with the little blue stickies she uses as bookmarks. The book is totally usable. Highly recommended, along with the online vids from HomeGrownHerbalist.

This is my new favorite go to book for learning about herbs. The way it is organized is easy and everything is easy to understand. It's a great resource. The book is split between individual herbs and by disorders or formulas.

So far this is a great book. It has a wealth of information. It doesn't just give you herbs to use, but tells you how to use them, pros/cons of each and also provides formularies.

some of this stuff might just work. I hate taking the chemistry class stuff that the doc's are paid to give us , and then tell us how wonderful this stuff is. Then you get to read the grocery list of side affects it can give you when to pick your script up. Good luck folks, and stay away from the hospltals. People die for no reason in there. yes there is a reason, and it's called incompatence.

5.0 out of 5 stars Life Saving
Reviewed in the United States on November 16, 2013
Verified Purchase
This book has been a life saver for me. It is easy to use with ailments in alphabetical order and multiple herbal remedies listed for each one. Each list of herbal remedies explains how each herb works and under what conditions not to use those herbs. Following the lists is an explanation of when, where, and how to use the herbs. When my husband's doctor refused to work with us on finding more natural remedies to alleviate the diarrhea his multiple medications were causing as side effects, we resorted to this book and have successfully eased the problem. I use it now to find healthful, natural, organic ways to find resolutions for everything from high blood pressure to hair loss to nail fungus.

4.0 out of 5 stars Hilfreich, gutes Nachschlagewerk, dennoch unvollständig!
Reviewed in Germany on October 29, 2014
Verified Purchase
Ich kann dieses Nachschlagewerk jedem empfehlen, der wirklich mal sich einen Überblick machen möchte, leider sind nicht alle Krankheiten abgedeckt, es gibt einfach viel zu viele Lücken um zu behaupten es wäre vollständig, und man merkt eindeutig den amerikanischen Einfluss auf das - sehr gute - aber deutlich produktplatzierte und unterschwellige Werbematerialien-tragende Buch.
