An amazing book! December 12, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
This book is not only extremely full of information I've been looking for for years, it's also entertainingly written. It's not only very easy to read, it can even be enthralling, if you're into this type of stuff. It's not only chocked full of info on herbs, it's got info on how to make lotions, medicinal syrups, cough drops, tinctures and stuff, and even Grand Marnier. The only thing I don't like about this book is that it has recipes on making herbal Jell-o, using actual packets of Jell-o--which I consider to be an awful product full of horrible stuff for you. But that's probably my only complaint. The book is amazing and, I find, well worth the money and the time!

While this book only deals with a limited number of herbs (and one fungus!) the techniques Mr. Green describes are easily adapted to almost any plant. I was expecting mostly a book of recipes for various oils, balms, creams and so forth, but there are surprisingly few of those, usually only 2 or 3 per chapter. Instead, the author describes the method for making the desired concoction, lists suggestions for which herbs work particularly well in the given medium, and leaves the reader to decide what will suit his or her needs. Mr. Green has a great sense of humor, and applies it liberally throughout his work. What could have been a dry book is actually a fun and interesting (and informative) read.
Excellent Reference book July 12, 2006

There is so much information presented in this book which is excellent for those who are just beginning in their herbal adventure or as a reference for those who are more advanced. It discusses several methods of using herbs from tinctures to percolation. You'll never go wrong with this book in your library.
Wonderful Find August 30, 2005

I have collected and given away many medical herb books, mostly because they were inferior to my needs. This Herbal Medicine Maker's Handbook has made it easy to find the herb I need. I am also able to read the ways to use the herb; tinture, lotion, extract, decoction, infussion, tea, salve. I use this book as a refresher and a source of new herbs in treatment. It has become my primary source book for new and innovative ways to help people.
