I enjoyed looking through this book. The amount of information and recipes was great. It was thorough and explained everything well. I've been learning more about the benefits of herbal, and this book had a ton of great information.

Great reference for anyone who knows a bit or is totally new to the herbal approach. Nicely organized by bodily systems, eg cardiovascular, digestive, etc. Written in clear language and easy to follow directions, each section also provides background on systemic issues, causes, and different approaches. With all the high prices from big pharma and strange chemicals in medications, everyone should have awareness of healthier alternatives.

This book has so many helpful recipes, it is laid out very user friendly with accurate and easy to read knowledge. I will be ordering a copy when it is released!

This book is so cool! It has so much more than I thought it would. So much information and recipes and I love the way it's easily laid out as well. I think everyone would be smart to keep this book on hand in their home. Thank you netgalley for the e arc!

I can't wait to give some of these a try! I do think some of the ingredients will be hard to come by but intrigued nonetheless.
