I am new to the world of herbalism and have just begun exploring this ancient wisdom. This is the sixth book I've read on the subject. I'm excited to try many recipes and have already ordered some bulk herbs to make a few stains to treat colds inevitable my family will suffer this winter. I am completely intimidated and overwhelmed by the vast knowledge of Gladstar and authors like her. It was a pleasant book to read.

That being said, I do have one criticism of the book (or perhaps the way of life suggested by the book, not sure) . The author suggests that readers ingest as dyes, tonics, teas, etc. food. . every day that I wondered how one could live this "natural" lifestyle without getting sick to their stomachs or bankruptcy. If I followed the advice in the book, I have neither the time nor the money to do something else. Who has time to prepare and drink several cups of different kinds of tea per day? This is unrealistic for a working mother with 4 children like me. I understand that it is perhaps not what the author intended, but it does not really give clear advice on how someone like me (who can not buy 100 herbs and eat / drink all day) can mount a reasonable and affordable plan.

Overall, great book. I seek others by this writer fascinating. Rating: 4 / 5

Ms. Gladstar really a good approach to herbs. However, the book that has everything to my surprise and images are in color to help those who need to know what the plant looks like the search. It is truly one of the best reference books grass on the market today, although most medicines are to women’s health, there are many issues for men with both remedies. DO NOT over look this book if you’re really a lover of herbs and alternative lifestyles of health with herbs This is highly recommended!

Rosemary Gladstar is my opinion of the people “true” in healing. It provides information in the manner of a man who wants to share rather than holding or profit. I think his work with the Seed Savers supports my point of view. This paper back book I bought for less than five dollars is a treasure of information. She wants people to understand the plants and use them for good. It also communicates the need to respect the plant world, which is after all a part of our world. Her recipes are clear and easy to follow. His books are always on hand and I use them frequently. This is a genuine negotiation and a good investment. Thank you Rosemary!

This is a reference book to have. I love the pocket version and I like the old. However, I also bought Gladstar Rosemary’s Family Herbal, different titles and different cover, thinking it was a different book. This is the EXACT same book page for page. So do not buy both.
