The Herb Society's Complete Medicinal Herbal, A Practical Guide to Medicinal Herbs, with Remedies for Common Ailments

Human & Rousseau, 1993, hardcover, illustrated, index, large format, 192 pages, condition: as new.

Practised for centuries in civilizations around the world, this book on herbal medicine aims to show readers about the healing properties of herbs. It contains an illustrated A-Z profiling over 120 medicinal herbs and their traditional uses. A home remedies section explains how to make and administer herbal remedies for a wide range of disorders, from colds to stomach ulcers and contains ideas for a herbal first aid kit.

Great illustrations/pics! Lots of detailed info. Due to this book being 30ish years old, there is just some outdated info such as calling for ingredients like Petroleum jelly or paraffin wax in salves and ointments recipes, which we now know is not a great option for health. Beeswax, coconut oils, etc, are much better options. Other than this, the knowledge in this book is awesome and easy to find what youre looking for. I would recommend.
