Herbal Medicine for Beginners: Your Guide to Healing Common Ailments with 35 Medicinal Herbs Paperback – May 15, 2018

Love this book! Great information on various herbs, conditions, and herbal remedies. Lovely pictures. Easy to understand information. Love Katja and Ryn! They are experts in the field of herbal medicine and are great at providing information in an easily digestible way. This is by far my favorite herbal remedy book.

Enjoyed my book on medicinal and herbal remedies! Good buy

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.

I enjoyed reading this book and ALL of the information it had to give! It definitely gave me more options to consider for my chronic headaches other than running to pharmaceutical medications instead! Definitely a good book to keep on the shelf for a quick reference and for beginners like myself!!

I'm a nurse but, as you can probably imagine, I wasn't taught about any of these remedies in school. That's unfortunate. I started with buying tea blends, especially Tulsi. I noticed great results and read this book on Kindle Unlimited before deciding to purchase it. It is so thorough, yet concise. It's not overwhelming. I feel the authors chose a great selection of herbs that really cover the spectrum of most of the conditions and/or symptoms that you'd probably encounter. I picked out about 10 to start with and so far so good. They reviewed 35 herbs total which is just enough, in my opinion, for the novice. Then, in the back of the book are recipes and combos to try for teas, and tonics, etc.My only negative is the paperback. I received 2 from Amazon in less than new condition in my opinion. I prefer a hardcover for books like this that I'll be using on a daily basis. It's basically like a textbook and cookbook. It's probably going to get pretty warn out. Not a big deal, just mentioning for the authors. :)

Great information for beginners! Very interesting and informative!

This book is...just so, so great.I'm not sure how to write a good enough review!1. Love the look and feel... Quality, thicker than you might think, great photos, even better directions! My first thought when I first received the book: "Only $12 for THIS?! I better buy more of them while still at this price!" I would easily pay (and expect to pay) $25 for this book.2. I'm an herbalist (in training) and this is my favorite herb/making medicine book by far.3. The directions aren't canned, vague or annoying in calling for things you couldn't do and couldn't easily obtain... Very simple and makes me feel like a pro while making tinctures, herb-infused honeys, etc.4. The layout is very simple. I enjoyed reading it all together as it flowed well. This book is exactly what it says-- How to make medicine. But it's also such a lovely herbalist manual, even for advanced herbalists. I will definitely be buying this book for my friends.5. Lastly, the authors, a husband/wife team, run a college that offers online courses. This book really shows how well they teach... Fun, friendly, personable, available, realistic. Wish I'd heard about this book (and the college) years ago! Both the courses and this book are life-changers.Can't wait for more books from these authors!

Not as detailed as I would l I ke but it will suffice.
