The Backyard Herbal Apothecary: Effective Medicinal Remedies Using Commonly Found Herbs & Plants

The book itself is great. Lots of information and good pictures of the herbs. Also great recipes and gives dosages for different ages. As a beginner it's extremely informative.This particular book also came in excellent condition. Looks brand new, even though I know its been read by others. There is a sticker on the front saying it came from a public library.Absolutely would by from this place again.

Great pics and information.

Very informative and well illustrated, would be happy to recommend

Love it!!! Simple recipes with stuff you're most likely to actually have on hand, in your garden or lawn

This book would be perfect for the beginner herbalist, though there is still much to offer more advanced wild crafters as well! The author does a wonderful job of combining traditional knowledge and folk traditions with scientific studies in her easy-to-read herbal monographs. She really covers all the bases - identification, history of use, contemporary uses, and easy to follow recipes. But it doesn't read like a dry identification book; her casual writing style and personality make it feel like you're having a conversation with your favorite herbalist. I read the book cover-to-cover in one sitting, thoroughly enjoying both the details and the tone. If you're intimidated by making your own herbal medicines out of plants in your own backyard, start here. Devon will give you the confidence and guidance and soon you'll be on your way to an herbal medicine cabinet full of natural options! This will definitely become my go-to source to learn about herbal medicine. I'm so glad I ordered a few extra copies to give as gifts!
