Review # 1 was written on 2008-02-23 00:00:00 Jerry Butler Such a simple sentiment, but this passage has been paradigm-changing for me, not only in my herb and natural health studies, but also in general: "Most herbalists I know strongly recommend that a student limit her studies to 'a few select herbs.' Get to know them well by learning to identify them,... touch, taste, smell, and use them. The energies of thirty to thirty-five herbs will enchant you and keep you sufficiently busy for the following year or two. Distinguished individuals from the remaining myriad herbs that dwell on Earth will, one by one, as situations arise, attract your attention and attach themselves to your initial repertory." There are many benefits to simplicity. The journey truly is the destination. Slow down, use less, do less, live more fully.

Review # 2 was written on 2010-05-24 00:00:00 Laura Moreno Reina Another interesting topic for me. In the past I've made batches of elderberry syrup and saved myself a bundle, as its expensive to buy! I'm ready to add a few more herbal/natural recipes to my repertoire. UPDATE: DONE! Didn't like it.. didn't find it to have a very comfortable flow.... couldn't get into it...and didn't like the new-agey feel to it.. read at least half of it and skimmed through the rest.. the author is obviously VERY knowledgeable about his craft... but I'll keep looking for a book to add to my library.... this one isn't it.
