Review: Most Thorough Herbal - As a medicinal herbalist I find the most beneficial aspect of this book to be the section on the herbs themselves as I have found it to be the most concise and thorough out of all the books I use for my herbal studies and practice. I do have to mention that the range of herbs he includes is extensive but not complete as for some I had to find other sources. However, Tierra's herbal on western herbs is specific and includes relevant and beneficial information as he lists each herb by it's most common name, scientific name, other common names, plant family, parts of the herb used, the flavor and energy of the herb, body systems and organs the herb affects, the biochemical constituents in the herb, the herbal actions and properties of the herb, the standardization and dose of the herb in it different methods of application, the specific conditions the herb is used to treat and its other uses, and furthermore some history and background data on the herb as well as its safety, contraindications, and adverse effects. In addition to my primary reason for reading and using this book, I like the included section Theory of Using herbs, which is although quite concise, very useful even as a general reminder about the simplistic but effective nature that herbs and plants have and that we can so easily utilize and attain potent earth medicine that is just as reliable as technological medicine but much more economically and environmentally sound. In conclusion The Way of Herbs is a must read and reference book to own for anyone be them a dedicated naturopathic practitioner of herbal medicine or someone just interested in a specific alternative or remedy
Review: The Way of Herbs is my best resource... - My copy of The Way of Herbs is falling apart! I have had it for many years and it is always on my desk, right next to my computer. I refer to it every time someone asks me about an herb, a remedy, an easy way to treat minor illnesses or how to fix teas, infusions, etc. Michael Tierra has given us a treasure chest of information about herbs and their uses. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to know more about herbal remedies and the benefits of herbs in our life. I recently purchased another copy of the book to send to a friend in the UK who wants to learn more about herbs and the proper way to make teas and infusions. It is such a joy to be able to share with friends this wonderful book that has become my valuable resource for herbal remedies. The new, updated version is a wonderful gift to give to family and friends. It is time I ordered the latest updated version for myself. My old copy will go into a box along with a sprig of lavender, and into my trunk with other special items of value. I love this book!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Look no further
*by A***R on March 26, 2021*

I read a majority of this book in one sitting it was so good! I flipped between a few choices before purchasing because I really wanted something with herb descriptions, recipes, history and a greater understanding of their action. This was the perfect choice. It beautifully ties in Chinese medicine, Ayurvedic principles & light Western understandings. Beautifully done and I look forward to continuing to use this! It goes in depth of things to consider, ways to support yourself and others, as well as proper administrations. Very happy with this purchase.
