  • Mother Earths Gifts

    One of the very best and most readable books that describes the Magic and Medicine of Plants. Excellent photos, plant location, and, as a physician, I found the book to be medically accurate and instructive. Generally we are not aware of the bounty we live in. This book brings the ancient healing arts into focus. I have given this book to a number of my collogues, friends and patients. All agree, that the content and clear writing are superb. Highly recommended.

  • Reference and field guide

    This is a great book to identify and learn about wild plants that can be used in herbal remedies and which parts of each plant is safe vs poisonous. It’s a great bit of survival knowledge! Highly recommend!!

  • Very Basic

    The information is very basic although abundant. Some herbs were labeled dangerous when in reality the quantities that would make them dangerous would be impossible to consume.
