Does exactly what it says. Peter Holmes' book is thoroughly researched book providing unparalled wealth of information. Any herbalist interested in energetic aspects of western herbs will find comprehensive theoretical and practical information.
I loved part one, so purchasing part two was definitely inevitable. This volume is an equal match to volume one and shares space in my library amongst my other resource books. Well worth the investment if you are interested in herbs and want to learn more about integrating them into your life or therapy practice.
This two-volume set is wonderful, useful, informative, pithy, and integrates western and eastern approaches to herbal medicine flawlessly. I borrowed it, and I really don't want to give it back (but I will, and I will get my own copy).
