Great overview of the benefits and many uses of natural remedies and herbs. The book goes into detail and separates the herbs by their benefits, for example "for women" or "for stress" etc. It also explains how the herb can be used as far as consumption or other ways it can be effective. I personally enjoy it and I think it is a great place to start as far as medicinal plants. Skims the surface but does so with intention, purpose, and facts. Great book to have and use as a tool!

This book can be useful. There wasn't anything particularly special about it.
Lots of good basic remedies.
Not a go-to that I would keep on my shelves.

Terrific reference manual for anyone whom wants to use herbs at home to help with a more holistic approach to health.

Toca muchos temas, es una buena guía para principiantes. Está dividida por usos o temas (ej. para la piel, para las embarazadas, para el baño, para la inflamación, etc), lo cual encuentro muy útil pero me deja pensando si plantas buenas para un tema no están duplicadas en otros temas -- hecho en falta un índice o tabla resumen. También es muy profundo en algunos temas (como la explicación de los principios activos, cosa que no recuerdos haber visto en libros similares), pero luego no entra en detalles de la preparación.
