My apologies, but I got busy and neglected to read this book during the period it was available to me. so I can't offer an opinion. It is a book I would like to read in the future.

William Siff is the author of The Plant Medicine Protocol. This book seemed very overwhelming when the author wrote of his daily routine in the introduction of the book as far as the drinks, oils, and food, and how he had traveled all over the world in search of these. I knew this was not something I would ever do but could he help a person who was basically a homebody and did not have access to all of this? I knew about folklore basics and that many plants had medicinal value.
He said that incorporating various tonics, elixirs, teas, powders, herbs, and spices into the diet would bring on good habits to be maintained for life. Could he teach me to create a tonic or a powder and what would be beneficial for a specific ailment or symptom? Overall, the author wants the reader to make an improvement to their health and resilience.
The book is written in four parts: fundamentals of natural medicine; the protocol of plant medicine; focusing on the plant-powered home; and plant profiles. The book has an index for easy reference and many wonderful pictures throughout the book as well as a section of FAQs to answer questions about various methods the author talks about. He has numerous recipes and suggestions for using various plants and their by-products as well as describing many in great detail in the resources section.
This is definitely a book for your library if you are a plant enthusiast and are looking for a healthier you.
I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily. #ThePlantMedicineProtool #WilliamSiff

Thanks to the author, publisher and NetGalley for the ARC of this book in exchange for my honest opinion.
This is just the book I needed. I’ve already started implementing some of the powers of plants in my diet. I have been struggling with inflammation and digestion problems so I was thrilled to get this book.
Comprehensive, easy to follow guide that I’m glad to recommend to adults like myself, great book.
