I LOVE this amazing book! Every perspective pertaining to herbs is found with these pages. Susan Clearwater gives a complete run-down of herbal care, including how to plant, grow and harvest herbs, along with how to make medicines & salves. Each plant is discussed for healing properties, and the spirits of the plants are considered in the teachings. Part-guide, part-textbook, with lovely pictures and drawings, this is a rich, easy-to-understand treasure trove of how to look to herbs for health and healing.
