THE ONE cellarstella I bought this book when I was 12 at a library sale for 25 cents. Since then, I've spent quite a bit more on herb books, but this is still the best of my collection! It's a fantasic reference book because you can look up herbs by common name, scientific name, and even by what ailments they treat. It doesn't contain much New Age spiritual information, which suits my scientific mind just fine. The author presents very logical arguments for making your own medicine/cosmetics/spices, whether purchased, home-grown, or wild-gathered. Just like other. Top rated This is a wonderful resource book with a wealth of information and a huge number of entries. I've been using the original paperback for years an purchased this one for a friend.. SUNSHINE said I Finally found it!!!. I use to own this book and somehow I lost it. I am a person who likes to use herbal remedies, for illnesses, if they exist. If you are that kind of person too, then this BOOK is for you. It is wonderful. It gives you herbal recipes for almost anything you can think of. From hair loss problems, to high blood pressure, and even obesity. I hope this helps. Oh yeah, if you happen to find a copy of this book, I suggest you get it because there is not another like it.
