This book lists every possible herb used for every possible malady. It almost makes it sound like you can use them all or interchangably. It gave no real direction. It was interesting from a research perspective, but I would never rely on this book for health concerns.

I reference this often.

This is the first book of herbal remedies that I ever bought and read. It is a slim volume, but full of good information. This is the book that I would carry around with me in my backpack if I were going to be on the road for months and wanted to keep my baggage light.

Not necessarily in-depth but a thin volume that covers a lot of herbs, their primary uses, and a useful glossary organized by ailments and the corresponding herbs to utilize.

Awesome. I use this book all the time.

I kept reading thinking at some point there would be actual instructions on how to use these herbs. It did introduce me to some new herbs that I research in other books.
