Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I am certified Clinical Herbalist. I began my herbal training with these authors. They are exceptional teachers, healers and humans. Having gone through a lot of herbal training and having studied with countless herbalists, one area that Katja and Ryn excel at is organization and simplicity. Which I can vouch is extremely rare in this field. This herbal medicine book is exceptionally easy to use and navigate. It is beginner friendly, but I will likely be grabbing for it as a solid first choice when I need an herbal reference because the info is laid out so conveniently. I own just shy of 40 herbal reference books at this time and one of the most frustrating parts is simply navigating the layout of each to be able to quickly get my hands on the information I need. And I pretty use the same one or two books because they are easy. Now a have an awesome new go-to book! Another nice aspect for folks building their own apothecaries is that this book offers a manageable number of accessible herbs that one could easily and affordably collect and access. But they offer an enormous amount of common ailments that can all be addressed with this reasonably small number of herbs. The real trick for most of us in the herb world is not knowing the absolute best herb for any specific ailment, it's knowing how to use what you actually have. Because if someone needs herbal support, they rarely have time to order and shop for medicine. They do a great job in this book of showing the wide versatility of each herb they list. And how to combine these herbs into powerful recipes. Lastly, I will just mention that the quality and finish of this book is really nice. I am stunned they can offer it at such an affordable price. It's really hard to find good herb books for less than $35-$50.
