  • I love it !
I am new to herbalism and let me tell you why this book is changing my mind so far. I currently work in the medical industry and ugh. Everything is a scam. I see patients slowly getting worse due to the medications they take recommended by doctors. Im still young and even though I know we all are going to get to a certain age someday, I don’t want to be living like that at all. Taking from 10 to more pills a day to survive is a big no no for me. So, I went on YouTube and I saw a woman that does herbalism's for a living and she recommended this book so I went ahead and bought it. A LIFE CHANGING BOOK!!! English isn’t my first language so there are some words that I have to translate because I never heard of but apart from that, this is amazing. I love that it has a lot of pictures (I am a visual learner), the book itself feels magical, I feel like every page is an eye opening way to encourage yourself to have a healthier lifestyle. Traditional medicine fascinates me! I can’t wait to learn more & more 🙏🏼 So I truly recommend this book. Take your time to do your research, like I said, there are some words I never heard of before and are a little bit more tricky to understand but overall, an amazing book ❤️ ... show more

  • Very informative!
I haven't read the book....but I have skimmed through and it seems very informative. The plants and herbs are listed under their scientific name, which I didn't care for, but there are pictures with the common name under the scientific name. It also gives some recipes in the back on to make tinctures, capsules, tonic wines, etc. I would recommend this book to anyone who is wanting to learn how to make natural/herbal medicines. ... show more

  • Amazing
I love this encyclopedia. It's the best one that I've seen and had! I love how it's broken down into sections. I love that it has recipes in it as well for the plants. I highly recommend this book for anyone that is into herbalism.
