Interesting information, and handy too!
I haven’t seen this before. My mom likes reading and using herbal remedies for some things. This will be a great book to get her for her birthday. Thank you for reviewing it!
I need this book in my life!
Very informative! Like the way it is put in catagories to make it easier to find.
This really looks like an informative book. I would love to have it myself.
This sounds like just what I’ve been searching for! I love E.O.s and herbs, and would love to know which, and how to use them best for different situations. Until now, I haven’t been able to find 1 book that compared the different types and explained why certain forms were better for certain conditions. I am definitely going to check this book out! Thank you for sharing this knowledge with us!
Herbal Remedies are the best. I use these a lot.
How interesting! It sounds like anything you’d want to know about Herbal remedies. I’m very interested in the book.
I like that you mention the handy size of the book. It would be great to carry along when shopping OR while hiking and foraging.
I must get this book!
