I bought this book to help me identify native medicinal herbs and its been a joy to explore and learn with it. I'm still new to this subject but am glad I bought the book and will definitely be doing a deep dive this summer, including trying to grow some of my own from the list. If you're interested in learning about medicinal herbs this book certainly opened my eyes to this subject. I recommend it to anyone interested in the subject.

Does not have an adequate index for medicinal uses

This is a very nice book with loads of pictures, recipes, recommendations and hints for use.
I spotted a reference to “shingles” while quickly leafing thru the book the day it arrived. Knowing a neighbor was suffering from shingles, I made a mental note to read that section later when I had more time.
Sadly - today I spent an hour laboriously looking for that page that mentioned shingles. I can’t find it. And for some reason the index does not contain any reference to “uses” for the herbals in the book. I am guessing that may, in some way, be due to the nasty lawsuits being waged against all things “natural” in this current age of cancel culture.
Whatever the reason, to use this book you will need to generally know about some herbal stuff to go “look up a recipe” for some problem.
Over all - I would definitely buy this book again, but the index is not as useful as it could be.

No one can dispute that Rosemary Gladstar knows her stuff. She writes about the uses of medicinal plants with the familiarity of someone who has used and understood them for a long time. As a budding herbalist (please pardon my pun), I have been slowly collecting books, recipes, and information to begin my own journey of familiarity. I enjoy the literary company of someone like Gladstar because she writes her books conversationally, making me feel like I can access this information and methods.

This beautifully printed book is a sort of ten-feet-wide-two-inches-deep approach to herbal medicine (as it says, its a beginner's guide). I am using it as a launching pad to know which plants to cultivate (because it's really hard to choose!) and what methods to experiment with. Her recipes are simple, easy to follow, and though some use plants that I'll have to do some legwork to locate, I really like that the majority of the plants featured are ones that can be cultivated in most backyards and greenhouses with little trouble.

I would love to give this book five stars, but I am hung up on the occasional, out-of-place mentions of fantasy. Alongside good, solid information about the cultivation of herbs, the chemical compounds that give them their potency, and effective ways to share them with your family, I stumble across lines like "It is whispered that fairies like to drink [lunar infusions]. Uses? Whenever a little magic is needed." I roll my eyes and feel that her credibility is lessened, albeit just temporarily. It's so hard to find a solid book on herbal medicine that doesn't stray toward some sort of superstitious/occultic weirdness. I enjoy books that explain how plants have healing properties...just not healing powers.
