This approachable handbook, with photographs for easy identification, helps you understand and take best advantage of herbal medicine. It first offers a brief introduction to the basics--such as choosing, growing, and preparing herbs. Then you will find descriptions of 60 herbs and what to use them for, and then 60 ailments that herbs can be used to treat, along with handy recipes.

Authoritative and easy to use, Healing Herbs Handbook is your one-stop guide to herbal health.
