Rosemary Gladstar's Medicinal Herbs: A Beginner's Guide: 33 Healing Herbs to Know, Grow, and Use Paperback – Illustrated, 10 April 2012

Rosemary Gladstar is a phenomenal Medicinal Herbalist with an excellent sense of humour. Her knowledge is outstanding as is her ethos to look after the wild plants used for herbal medicine. This all shines through in all her books and this one is no exception. Her recipes are great and I have already made a few things. Her recipes to help with cold and flu are extremely helpful. When the flu made its rounds in our house, I followed her recipe and instructions, while hubby used the junk bought from the shops that he has always relied on. As I'm disabled and don't go out, he brought the bug home, and I usually suffer for a week or so longer than he does and often end up with bronchitis or pneumonia. This round, I was better 5 days faster than him, and even have him converted to my herbal ways now. If you aren't sure about her recipes before buying her book, check out her YouTube videos with recipes.

Tells you about the individual herbs and what they can be used for. Diagrams are clear and instructions are easy to follow.Really pleased with it

Good book

An interesting book bought as a present for somebody. They liked the book. Well they are American and it looks as if the Author is.

I love this book. It has inspired me to harvest the flowers and healing herbs from my garden to make oils and balms.Beautifully laid out with inspirational content. I will buy more copies for gifts.

Love it

This book is incredible for beginners. The detail of each herb is amazing and you can tell this woman knows her stuff which made me feel confident as a beginner trying her recipes. Highly recommend for those first starting out.

I read it from cover-to-cover. A must-have book for any would-be herbalist
