This is a good stepping stone into home remedies !
I'm very pleased with my purchase of the Healing Power of Herbs . I'm very interested in the old remedies before Big Pharma took over the Medical and Medicinal World ! This is one of the guides back to the Old Ways !

More depth than breadth
Unlike my other herbals, this covers a smaller number of herbs in greater depth, including modern study citations.
