I'm so thankful for this book. There are so many books out there for women. It's wonderful to have this handy reference book. It shows that the simplest thing we eat or drink can have profound affects on our health!

Rosemary Gladstar is one of my favorite authors when it comes to Herbal Remedies or related books. I have read few of her books and when I saw this, I absolutely couldn't wait. So, when I saw this book listed on Net Galley, I of course requested it and Storey Publishing was king enough to grant my request.

From my reviews, you already know Alternative Medicine is one of my interests, a reason I am pursuing it academically. All the recipes listed in this book, coupled with detailed instructions and colorful pictures are a real treat.

The recipes are easy and I have tried a few from this book, especially for Energy balls, Elixer Recipes and what not. I really like her recipes are fairly easy to follow and the detailed instructions, including tips for determining dosage make this book ideal for amateurs and practitioners alike! A must have in every home.

I’ve been working with herbs for almost twenty years to manage my reproductive health and well-being, but it wasn’t until I dated a man in his forties, that I became curious about the benefits of herbal remedies for men. Since he hadn’t yet experienced any sexual dysfunction (fortunately), much of our exploration was around promoting heart health and overall vitality. I made spinach and blueberry shakes, supercharged his oatmeal, and we ate garlic like we were preparing for a vampire apocalypse. While I focused on whole foods, I never got around to using herbs with him the way I did with myself.

As my studies of the Wild Feminine deepen, I find myself more and more curious about the Wild Masculine. Daniel Vitalis of the ReWild Yourself podcast says that much of what ails modern man and women is the result of our domesticity, and that we must rewild ourselves to reclaim optimal health and get back to our true nature. The more I learn about herbs and experience the benefits, the more I believe that herbal healing is the first step to reconnecting with our wildness, right up there with hunting and foraging.

Reading through Rosemary Gladstar’s Herbal Healing for Men almost made me want to reconsider my health coaching niche. While this book is written with and for men in mind, I’m not sharing my copy. If the man in your life is like mine, you may find that while he’s open to supplementing with herbs, he may not be inclined to take initial action. But that’s fine because I’m looking forward to working through the book myself. I really love how comprehensive Herbal Healing for Men is, covering not only the basic preparation of herbs, but also creative culinary uses such as energy balls and chocolate syrups, self-care options, and a discussion about general health and wellness concerns specific to men.

There are a few herbs mentioned in the book that I use on a regular basis, which means we’ll get to enjoy several recipes together in addition to the ones that are just for him.

If you’re a man who is concerned about maintaining long-term health and vitality or know a man who would benefit from adding medicinal herbs to their daily regimen, Herbal Healing for Men is for you.

I received a copy of this book in exchange for a review.

As an addition to Rosemary Gladstar's previous books, this one focuses on men's health and how some herbal remedies can be used. Not as detailed as I would like, but still gave me some new insights into the use of herbs.

Rosemary Gladstar's Herbal Healing for Men by Rosemary Gladstar focuses on herbal remedies for men's health problems. In addition to to providing preparation information and herbal remedy recipes, the book also offers an in-depth look at 29 herbs. Some of the herbs may be hard to find. With the help of online shopping, finding them is not impossible. As with all of Ms. Gladstar's books, this one is thorough and very informative. It will be a wonderful addition to your herbal medicine library!

This book is pretty similar in layout to the other Rosemary Gladstar books I've read.
Meaning this is a book of recipes not an herbal. As such there aren't too many herbs covered in the monograph section but in their place there are many herbal combinations.

I personally like getting information about single herbs and will probably stick to herbals.
I might've missed it, but this book didn't seem to point out the reasons for combining herbs.
For example, they might combine kava with ashwagandha for insomnia but if there is some synergy there it isn't mentioned so I don't come away with additional knowledge about pairing.

This book was up to the usual high standards for Rosemary Gladstar.
For example, I learned when to use decoctions over infusions (which is embarrassing that it took this many herb books to figure that out) and why sarsaparilla root infusions are probably safe (the dangerous compound isn't water soluble).

The recipes are very innovative and sound great. They include recipes like herbal infused honeys and chocolate balls that you are unlikely to find in most popular herb books.

All in all I recommend this book to readers to plan on following the recipes but not to readers looking to reference herbal properties.

Very helpful. Glad I read this book I will use this information to help my family lead a healthier lifestyle.

Well done with information, recipes and loaded with pictures of the herbs and various forms of the herbs. We'll done.

Gladstar has done a great job of offering a well-rounded volume on men's health from an herbalist's perspective. As she mentions in her book, men's health doesn't get nearly as much bandwidth as women's health. I think many men would find this book very accessible to work with and I tried out a few of the formulas on my husband with good feedback.
