Vast knowledge of herbal world but not for the beginner. Wonderful addition to my library of herbal publications.

I found this book to be excellent and even better than expected. I have been studying herbalism for a few years now, so am not a beginner, but not a clinical herbalist either. It is perfect both for someone just beginning their herbal journey as the information is written in an approachable and usable fashion, however I also believe the more advanced herbalist would benefit from this text as there are numerous details included along with a chapter on advanced techniques. Additionally there is information on essential oils, flower waters and the like, that tends to be something more familiar to aromatherapists. Yet, these are truly an excellent addition to one's plant healing repertoire, so it was nice to see them seamlessly added in. I was pleasantly surprised at the materia medica at the end. It is extremely thorough and contained many familiar herbs, but also many new ones. There is also dosing information included which I found helpful. My only suggestion, primarily because I am a visual learner, is it would have been nice to to have pictures of each herb, especially because there were quite a few that were new to me, but as the authors point out there are many other books for that, so it wasn't a big problem. This is definitely an excellent addition to your herbal library! Easy to read and understand, but thorough in its information! I am extremely pleased I purchased it! I plan to share this title with others when I teach courses on herbalism as it provides an excellent foundations and builds to advanced skills.

MUY DIDÁCTICO CUBRIÓ MIS EXPECTATIVAS

An essential guide! a must have and very informative.

LOVE LOVE LOVE this book! The detail about their craft, equipment and dosages is so clear. They go above and beyond in every chapter. It is so easy to read and follow. I swear they cover EVERYTHING. I'm blown away by the detail and the collaboration. I appreciate the coloured photos. Nothing is worse than wanting to learn about a subject and have black and white photos, especially if you are going to put it in your body. It would be nice to identify it through colour as well. I especially like that I can choose the style of binding. For books like this, I prefer spiral bound. If my house were on fire, I know I would grab this book. That probably sounds weird, but I am a bit a book freak.
