- Reviewed in the United States on January 18, 2024I am a practicing herbalist and I have an herbal bible I use but this ladies books are wonderful to use for already prepared recipes. I love all the knowledge she puts into them and how easy they are to flip through
- Reviewed in the United States on February 9, 2016I love Rosemary Gladstar's books! A local herbalist who is also an author teaches her own classes and recommends Rosemary Gladstar's books. When I let her know at a farmers market that I was interested in starting to learn about herbalism she told me to check out her books. I first bought the Medicinal Herbs Beginners Guide and devoured it! I marked it up with 4 different highlighters and also used a bunch of the post it flags to mark things to re-visit.
After that book I needed to learn more! I particularly have issues with stress and anxiety and this book is perfect to tell me what I should do to help things, naturally. Please keep in mind this book is from the "Basics" line of books so it isn't very thick, and honestly it shouldn't need to be. Its a pretty specific book, but has a TON of information packed into the pages!
- Reviewed in the United States on May 13, 2024I love all of her books. She is easy to understand.
- Reviewed in the United States on July 30, 2019If you don't want to be dependent on Benzodiazepines, then this book can help.

Greetings Thyme,
I am a beginner with regard to taking my health and health of my family into our hands to work with the gifts nature provides. I was only aware of the folk method until I saw reference to w/v method. I have throughly enjoyed your book and would like to use spreadsheets to make a good solid foundation into this realm. I am NOT a spreadsheet wiz and want to use your formulas to create these. I have run into an issue for the formula in G2 =ROUND(((C2/(F2/2))*E2)
I get an error “Your formula is missing a parenthesis—) or (. Check the formula, and then add the parenthesis in the appropriate place.” Am I doing something wrong?
Many thanks in advance for your time and consideration,
Kristen

3.0 out of 5 stars The print and presentation is a bit cheap
It's OK, but if I'd seen it in a shop I wouldn't have bought it. The first 9 ages could have been fitted into 1, and it's a bit repetative. Poor quality paper and it's a bit small.

3.0 out of 5 stars Three Stars
A good book but does not always mention the dangers of some herbs with other drugs.
