Review # 1 was written on 2020-05-24 00:00:00 Jeff Ullrich This book does not detail every herb found in the wild, just those commonly found in our yards or nearby, not only in America but Europe and Britain. Very thorough in what those are good for physically, which parts of each plant are used for various complaints, and how to use them (teas, ointments, oils, etc.) with recipes.

Review # 2 was written on 2019-12-29 00:00:00 Brian Mahoney 4.5- Really cool resource! It makes me sad that it's winter and I have to wait until spring to collect all my local herbs. This book gives distinct information on how to preserve/use the parts of the herbs as tinctures, infusions, decoctions, electuaries, oxymels, and lots of other ways. It features a number of plants commonly found in North America. For each plant, it tells the typical medical uses, related species, parts used, habitat, distribution, description, pictures of the parts used, and instructions for how to make the various remedies. If there are cautions in using the plant, it tells you that as well. Very thorough book!
