I love Rosemary Gladstar's books! A local herbalist who is also an author teaches her own classes and recommends Rosemary Gladstar's books. When I let her know at a farmers market that I was interested in starting to learn about herbalism she told me to check out her books. I first bought the Medicinal Herbs Beginners Guide and devoured it! I marked it up with 4 different highlighters and also used a bunch of the post it flags to mark things to re-visit. After that book I needed to learn more! I particularly have issues with stress and anxiety and this book is perfect to tell me what I should do to help things, naturally. Please keep in mind this book is from the "Basics" line of books so it isn't very thick, and honestly it shouldn't need to be. Its a pretty specific book, but has a TON of information packed into the pages!

Easy read and good knowledge.

I am a practicing herbalist and I have an herbal bible I use but this ladies books are wonderful to use for already prepared recipes. I love all the knowledge she puts into them and how easy they are to flip through

If you don't want to be dependent on Benzodiazepines, then this book can help. The basic knowledge about calming herbs is good to get someone started on the path for herbal healing. I have tried a few herbs from this book and gotten a lot of relief. Thank you for writing this.

Great book! Need some help though- Greetings Thyme, I am a beginner with regard to taking my health and health of my family into our hands to work with the gifts nature provides. I was only aware of the folk method until I saw reference to w/v method. I have throughly enjoyed your book and would like to use spreadsheets to make a good solid foundation into this realm. I am NOT a spreadsheet wiz and want to use your formulas to create these. I have run into an issue for the formula in G2 =ROUND(((C2/(F2/2))*E2) I get an error “Your formula is missing a parenthesis—) or (. Check the formula, and then add the parenthesis in the appropriate place.” Am I doing something wrong? Many thanks in advance for your time and consideration, Kristen

The book is well-written and thoroughly covers the topic. It can help people with nervous turmoil. The author gives detailed information on various medicinal herbs, which are helpful and have proven beneficial action in anxiety and nervous disorders. Highly recommended!

This wasn't new information to me, as I've been using herbs to manage my health for a number of years now. It is, however, very clearly presented, written well enough to be a pleasure to read. If you are looking for a book on this subject, you would do well to invest in this one. Ms. Gladstar has other books on herbal subjects, and they too are well-written and informative. She's a great author to collect.

i adore rosemary's work, values, approach to healing. this little book, so condensed & yet so packed with heart & with information, is invaluable. holistic in the truest sense : reassuring : thorough. i would seriously recommend this book to anyone living in this current age of stress ~~~ its simply the best preventative medicine & self~care.

Useful and informative

Love these simple herbalism books to learn more self healing

It's OK, but if I'd seen it in a shop I wouldn't have bought it. The first 9 ages could have been fitted into 1, and it's a bit repetative. Poor quality paper and it's a bit small.

A good book but does not always mention the dangers of some herbs with other drugs.
