Review # 1 was written on 2019-04-29 00:00:00 Michael Chu This was mixed ideas for me. One one hand there didn't seem to be enough information or it was a secret Native American recipe and yet good info on the plants and how they are used. No drawings of the plants but interesting description, write up, and cautions to look out for. Definitely can hear the voice of respect of the plants, their return to earth, how their shape or color depicts what they heal and why, and what some could call superstition in their culture.

Review # 2 was written on 2013-07-27 00:00:00 Mark Sykes A mixed bag for me. I was left a bit cold by the how to section in the beginning which I found too limiting in its view of how to make herbal medicines. But the sections of individual plants did offer some interesting ideas and potential explorations for future work with plants discussed. I'm not sure I agree with them all, but worth checking out some of the uses.
