I bought this book in hopes to learn some hearbal healing. I've been interested in herbal naturopathic medicine for quite some time, in an effort to find remedies to the many ailments my family and friends suffer from. In my family we've always gone yo the traditional western doctors, but in the past few years they have been failing us. In reality they have failed us for much longer I just didn't do anything about it. I finally got fed up ad decided I wanted to attend college and become a certified herbologist and midwife. So while I am doing my studies in those areas I decided to buy many different herbal healing books.
This book was one of them.
I give this book 5 stars because it is superbly written and well thought out. Each recipe is very detailed and useful. Many of the ailments mentioned and treated with natural medicine are ones my family and I suffer from, a few examples would be infertility, irregular periods, pain management, sexual impotence, headaches, common colds and flu, constipation, indigestion and so many many more. I can't even begin to name all the recipes in this book. Rosemary not only cover your basic everyday ailments but she also covers your more unusual ailments, one which my hubby had struggled with for months now and has been to embarrassed to go to a doctor about was actually mentioned in this book, I was able to help mix up an herbal remedy for him using the recipe in this book. I also have a child which like many kids has her own set of childhood issues, this book has many remedies for kids too and I can't wait to try some out and see how they work, especially the cold and flu remedies as we usually treat those with your conventional medicine, but now I really want to see how effective these remedies are. Rosemary does make sure to mention that these recipes were never intended to treat or diagnose an illness and it is no replacement for actual care from a dr. However I do believe this book will be a very effective tool in treating common issues and if your like me I think its a perfect companion to aid with conventional medicine, I've come to the conclusion in life that conventional medicine has its place and can be beneficial, but for common ailments the earth mother gas given us all we need and its best to try those medicines she offers us before we turn to the more invacive medicine offered in modern times.
In all I would highly recommend this book. I will be keeping this book close at hand.
One more thing Rosemary put together many herbal concoctions for a "hot date" night, there are recipes for love liquor, good life wine, men's long life elixir and energy balls, all of these recipes help the male libido as well as energize both male and females for a very romantic evening. I though that was a very nice addition to the book since as a married woman who is married to an older man I know how sometimes not everything wants to work like its supposed to either due to medications or just the days stresses, so this for me was a really wonderful addition and I honestly can say I did not expect it but it was a lovely surprise. I think the men folk will enjoy those recipes for sure who doesn't want to have a romantic evening with a loved one.
So that is my review. Thank you Miss Gladstar for this lovely book I do believe it is one I will holdonto forever.

***DECENT BOOK***
I have purchased six books on herbal medicine. I have used this one the least. However, there is quite a bit of good info in here.It may be that this book didn't focus on what I was looking for (specific ailments). As I've mentioned on some other book reviews, this book is better to complement what you already have, rather than this book being your "first" one on the topic. If you're just beginning, look for an herbal encyclopedia. That will offer more herbs to learn about as well as some introductory recipes.

I don’t have to search online for recipes by amazing herbalist Rosemary Gladstar anymore. She has herbs of longevity, herbs for taming stress and anxiety, remedies for every day ailments, recipes for radiant beauty, for children, women, men, and elders. She shares from her broad knowledge and I for one am grateful she took the time to compile this set of recipes.

This book is great and has so much information in it! I have a feeling I will have to read it several times to absorb everything. The edge of the book was warped upon arrival which was unexpected for a new book. I’m not sure if this occurred during shipping (it was wrapped like many other books I have purchased. It was shipped quickly though.
