Beautiful, informative book packed with informative instructions on how to grow herbs and how to use them. The digital portal access to more information is wonderful. This book is a really good book and a great addition to an herbalist's library.
The amount of information in this book is incredible! It contains where to grow which herbs, how to seed/propagate/harvest herbs, recipes, and so much more. I’m beyond thrilled with this purchase!
I purchased this as one who is interested in growing medicinal herbs and recipes at home; I love to learn and experiment. This product is very informative and if one desires to explore deeper, it comes with a link which offers free videos as well as the ability to sign up to their school to get a degree if one wants to go that far. A friend of mine has a degree with them and said they were fantastic!
This book is beautiful and I really enjoy reading it. One issue I have, that could totally sabotage someone who hasn’t made salves before, is the error in measurement of oil to beeswax in the salve section. It says add 1 to 1 1/2 ounces or 14-21 grams of beeswax per 1/2 cup of oil. But 1 ounce equals 28.34 grams, which is double the grams stated in the book. No one wants salve that is too firm or too runny, and not everyone can to redo or troubleshoot and may just give up instead. It would be great to update this if there is another edition published.
Just what I wanted, thank you kindly. Sincerely Cherry
