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.

  • 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

  • Beautiful book, but organized by scientific names
I'd love to give this book a 5-star review, but I can't because of what I consider a major flaw. The herbs are listed in alphabetical order by their scientific name rather than their common name. This means that I have to use the index to find the page an herb is on. Not practical for those of us who don't think of herbs as their scientific name first. Other than that major flaw, the book is beautiful and packed with info. It's worth having in my library but unfortunately isn't the "go to" I had hoped it would be. ... show more
