I received this arc from NetGalley for an honest review. This book is about herbs and how they can be used to heal. It's fairly easy to use and straightforward.

I grow herbs and always love learning more ways to use them. I found so many good uses for the herbs I already grow and found reason to get a few more that grow really good in my region. This is a great book and must have.

"The Healing Power of Herbs" provides profiles for 30 healing herbs plus instructions on how to make herbs into teas, syrups, etc. The author started with tips on how to safely forge wild herbs, grow herbs, or buy organic herbs. She described how to make herbs into teas, syrups, oils, salves, pills, poultices, compresses, and use them in baths. She described the process for each in enough detail that a beginner can successfully make them for themselves. She talked about how to select the best herbs for the imbalances you are experiencing. She also talked about storing the herbs, safety issues, and dosages.

She did profiles on 30 common herbs. She provided the herb's name, other common names, description of the herb, safety considerations when using it, which parts are used, the properties and uses for it, suggested preparations and dosage, growing or harvesting tips, and ways to use it at home (including two recipes per herb for things like salves or teas). Overall, I'd recommend this book to those beginning to use herbs in healing and those who wish to make their own preparations.
