“The first herb book that effectively blends Eastern, European, and American Indian healing traditions” (Steven Foster, director of the American Center for Herb Study).

Awesome breadth and depth of information! This book contains so much knowledge that I can read page after page, fascinated by the different properties of each herb. It's unquestionably the most comprehensive herbal reference I currently have on the shelf! Others are more specialized, of course, but this one is invaluable for talking about pretty much "all the things." Includes indications, physiological effects, and cautions for herbs - I know it's not *all* the herbal knowledge on the planet, but it's pretty darn close! I use this all the time and consider it an essential reference.
