“Figuring of the
world’s thousands upon thousands
of herbs to use can be
daunting.
This book presents the
basics of herbal preparations…
Ready to get started?”
Kristine Brown,
Introduction, page ix
Part One: Chapters 1-3 contains information regarding
herbalism, The Starter Pantry, and Herbal preparations explaining tisane,
diffusion, decoction, infusion, tincture, acetum, tonics, and elixir usage.
Part Two: Chapters 4-10 contains recipes for Common Ailments, Emotional
Well-Being, and Personal Care naming a few.
Included are a Glossary which is useful, that explains the
listed properties for herb use. The Resources and References section lists
books, magazines, supplies, websites, and educational herbal schools for purposes
that are more informational. The Ailment Index is helpful for looking up aches
and pains you may want to address for herbalism ingredients.
You will need a dictionary as I did to understand some of the
properties listed under each herb. Overall,
this is an excellent reference book for those wanting to get started in
herbalism, even though it is a learning process. I did not try any of the
recipes in this book because there were far too many herbs in the recipes I wanted
to test that I could not easily get a hold.
I received this book from Callisto Publishers in exchange for
an honest review in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission Guidelines.
