A very good book with simple recipes and hints for health and beauty. Susun Weed has unusual introductions to different herbs and health issues meant to address emotional as well as physical symptoms. She doesn't believe in just treating the body. The introductions are meant to obtain inner harmony to facilitate maintaining a healthy body with natural remedies rather than drugs. The book is easy to use and read, but if you are an all business person who likes to cut to the chase, this may not be a good match. My attitude is that I have to be in the mood to utilize the intros, but they should be used when at all possible. I think if you don't mentally prepare for natural healing, you're only using half the potential aid. I also believe you need to focus on what you want your body to do to achieve physical health and wellbeing, so the intros are not inappropriate and are another resource. The book gives basics and does not use a lot of technical or medical jargon. Quite obviously Weed is knowledgeable in practical uses of herbs and has been using them for a long time. The recipes address practical remedies for children as well as adults and old-timers. I've read on the internet that she is one of the herbal experts of today and well-known in her field. Her books came highly recommended by herbalists, which is why I purchased it.Read full review
The author focused on the tradition of healing and herbs as allies and using simples and that we are all healers. Susun reminds us to love ourselves unconditionally and be comfortable saying, no. She communicates with the herbs and has passed that information on to the reader. She recommended focusing on 12 herbs and getting to know them well, but only included 7 in the book. I wish she had included 12 herbswish and had less about the tradition of healing.

I didn't relate to the authors form of writing. I did like the information given. There were vague illustrations of the herbs and weeds where I would have liked to see actual pictures of them. Overall, I found it a hard read for me.
