The herbalist's must-have
This is perhaps the best book on herbal medicine I have ever read. Tierra covers not only the botanical and therapeutic properties of herbs, he shows with great clarity how they fit into the wider context of holistic healing. His integration of traditional Western herbalism with Chinese and Ayurvedic medicine--and he is a master of all three--justifies his proprietary name of "Planetary ...

Great source for herbs
My copy is older (1986). I imagine there is a new and updated version out. It is co-written by Dr. Vasant Lad. Dr. Lad is the administrator at the Ayurvedic Institute in Albuquerque, NM. I have gotten much use out of this book. It is based on the ayurvedic medical tradition. Herbs, American, European and Oriental are all described and assessed according to the ayurvedic principals. ...

It has all the things I wanted! - it's organic - it very thorougly covers many herbs in different formats, so you know everything from what bugs they attract or repel, how tall they grow, and what zone they can be grown in - common uses for them: I discovered many herbs I thought were inedible plants that are indeed herbs - easy to use tables I wasn't too hip on ...

Rodale Books, 1998

The Best of the Bunch
Rodale's Illustrated Encyclopedia of Herbs is the best of the bunch. It gives a bounty of information on each of the many herbs listed: origin, uses, cultivation, lore, and much more. The illustrations, both drawings and color photos, are superb. The book does contain errors; it says, for example, that sassafras extracts are carcinogenic. But on the whole this book excels.

Storey Publishing, LLC, 1983

Very useful and more informative than more expensive books
Love the Storey Country Wisdom Bulletins. These are great because they are inexpensive and they offer basic useable information that most people can use. What I loved about this bulletin aside from the lovely illustrations of so many herbs, many I grow, is the fact the authors give a history of the herb and its origins. As well as how its grown, harvested and used. For the price which is so ...

Chronicle Books, 2004

A sweet useful gem of a book....
First let me admit I am biased, since this gem is written by someone I know and admire, here in Northern California. But it nonetheless a gem of a book with superb photographs as well as excellent advise on Do's and Don't of raising a variety of herbs. I also like the book because it shows that one can successfully raise year round fresh herbs, and do so on an acre or on a small patio. And the ...

This is the One.
This is the one, the one book I feel anyone serious about herbs should have in their collection. It has proved invaluable to me in so many ways. It includes cosmetic and medicinal for most any herb you can think of. It is also good for information on traditional uses and background knowledge. It can be a bit overwhelming at first but once you get a grasp on how it is organised (it didn't take me ...

a great book, not just for kids
I found this from an EarthWalk class that I sometimes volunteer for. A 4th grader showed this book to her teacher who in turn showed it to us. I wrote down the name and bought it a few days later. Why? Because it is really informative and done really really well. I'm new to the whole outdoor, edible herb thing so I feel like I could use a kid's book to help teach me (it even has sections for me ...

WONDERFUL REFERENCE OF INDIVIDUAL HERBS
This book is absolutely the best one I have seen when it comes to being thorough for the different uses of each herb. It has listings of primary and secondary conditions affected by the herbs, after a write up of usually close to a page on each one. In the write up it elaborates on many of the uses, and often gives historical uses. I find it a vital reference guide and refer to it VERY ...

Health is wealth, knowledge is power!
God said choose life or death! God gave us herbs. Use them. Man gave us pills, avoid them. Pills kill and herbs cure. Make your choice. Pills made my life hard and I almost submitted to a useless operation. Desperately, I looked for another choice. Herbs gave me the answer. No operation needed, life is good again!!!
