Customer Reviews
A solid, practical book. I’ve gone back to it several times already, and I expect it will continue to be useful for years. The information is detailed without being overwhelming.
This book feels like a mix between a field guide and a practical handbook. The color photos are very helpful, and I’ve started a small notebook alongside it to track which plants I’ve tried.
I appreciate how the remedies are written in a step-by-step way. Even as someone fairly new to herbs, I felt comfortable trying them out. It’s both a reference and a learning tool.
The tone of the book is very approachable. It doesn’t feel too technical or overwhelming. I’ve already used one of the recipes for a sore throat, and it worked well.
I was surprised at how many useful plants are growing in my area that I never noticed before. This book opened my eyes to what’s available right outside my door.
