It’s very important to learn other ways to help your health and body. There are so many herbs that offer so much help to swelling and other things that might ail you. This book gave a lot of very good information about how to incorporate herbs into your life. Always check herb reactions to meds.

This book is divided into two parts. The first part is a general overview of health.
This tries to be comprehensive, but covers too much to go into enough detail to be useful.

The second part of the book is monographs. The monographs were above average in terms of ease of use (they broke out constituents but not actions. I found the modern research that accompanied each monograph to be the most useful monograph component

As someone with a passing and wavering interest in herbs and herbalism I found this book far too academic and dense to read it in its entirety. People looking to seriously study herbs would find this book incredibly useful.

Comprehensive and educational book regarding herbalism as a treatment for and prevention of illness. There is immense history and research concerning the values of integrating holistic and ancient practices into modern medicine.
ARC received for review.
