Bartram's Encyclopedia of Herbal Medicine

This book is awesome!! I almost did not buy it bc of the last time it was updated. I'M SO GLAD I GOT IT. To me, the information is just as relevant today as when it was published.It reads almost like a dictionary. Terms are defined, plants properties are explained, and ailments are described and different treatment methods are provided.This is one of my top three books. It adds something different to the other two. I like to get information from more than one source, especially if I'm trying to treat myself. I haven't found anything contradictory, but rather it adds to other information.I highly recommend.

Great all in one resource material. The knowledge in this book is worth it’s weight in gold.

I absolutely LOVE this book. I mean "I LOVE this book." It has so much valuable information.

This book is jammed full of information. It is definitely a reference and properly named as it reads very much like an encyclopedia. I would not recommend for folks new to herbal medicine looking for instructions. This is only a reference.

This is exactly the type of information I was looking for. If you study plants and want professional medical information on herbs this is a must have in your collection herbal books.

This was for a class. It came in a timely manner & was a new book!

If I only had one book on herbal medicine, and I have many, this would be the one I would want. It is comprehensive, lucid, and factual.

I bought Bartram's Encyclopedia of Herbal Medicine because I am finding that I respond better to natural medicines than to a lot of the current chemical medicines. I have a huge curiosity about what plants have what properties. I was amazed to learn that simple herbs we eat today were once used as curatives. The book is written in easy to understand language. It is interesting.

Thank you so much! Amazing product.

Herbal medicine is great compared to a lot of other medicines.Loads of old remedies.

Ik was eerder ontgoocheld omdat de bladeren heel dun zijn en rare bedrukking. Heel veel aandoeningen staan erin. Maar ik vind het zeker geen handboek waardig. Ik zoek er wel eens in maar kijk toch in betrouwbaardere bronnen of de info klopt.

Useful, i guess, but perhaps not worth the money as it's a bit outdated and incomplete. Of course, some things are timeless and much of the information is forever true and valuable. But science has improved and some of Bartram's advice is now obsolete. Would be better off relying on a complete encyclopoedia published recently. The book itself came in good, used condition, with prompt delivery.

I was amazed at just how many (900+) health problems are covered, as well as a very detailed and clinical explanation of what each disease, injury, syndrome, etc is. As an ex-health care worker, I found it fascinating.
