The Complete Illustrated Guide to Holistic Herbal: A Safe and Practical Guide to Making and Using Herbal Remedies

When working toward my degree as a Natural Health Consultant, David Hoffman was one of the authors of my myriads of textbooks. While this particular book is a newer edition than the one I have in my personal library from my college DAZE :) , I purchased it for a friend who also loves holistic/natural remedies and keeps borrowing my book. Decided to get her one for her own library for her birthday. I know she is going to love it. Filled with bright, colorful pictures of plants, herbs, how-to's, easy to follow instructions, recipes, explanations, etc. Maybe NOT the book for the beginner, but soon to follow the die-hard holistic interest.

Great information. Is is a great reference book.

One of my top 10 favorites, definitely one of my" go to" books, a classic. Extremely informative, very well written, straight forward, easy to follow step by step instructions on preparing home medicine. A really beautiful modern herbal, it not only covers a wide array of herbs but includes in depth information on how to grow, harvest, dry, store & use each plant, it contains a cross reference by illness section as well. Beautiful illustrations & photography. One of the first books I reach for.

I have used this book for some years now and purchased this copy for a friend. I can not recommend it any more than that.Love the book for all the great information in it and use it almost daily. Natural herbs are so much better than all the prescriptions the doctors give you with all the bad side effects, with nature there are never bad side effects. I plan to continue using the book for back up information and when it starts to fall apart I will get another one. All the illustrations and pictures are great too.

Very very good information

Like very much

Learning a lot. Thanks!

Great information in this book,I usefully.

Book is attractive and informative and I found myself fascinated by the different uses of the herbs.The writing is open and easy to read; I ended up reading a lot more than intended as it flowed so easiy.The book was recommended to me by a homeopath but also stands on its own. Great choice!
