The Big Book of Herbal Medicine

The Big Book of Herbal Medicine gently walks the reader through the basics of herbal medicine and then introduces 90 favorite herbs and rounds out with many incredibly useful formulas for everyday health concerns. It is clear that Tina Sams writes from both a place of experience and from the heart. This book is for all herb lovers, beginner through advanced. --Susanna Reppert, 6th generation herbalist and owner of The Rosemary House With its beautiful illustrations, this guide is one you will turn to repeatedly. From the beginner just wanting to get away from pills and OTC remedies to the experienced herbalist (and gardener!), this book offers value for all of us. The herbal profiles give growing and usage information, and each contains a tip from someone sharing personal experience. But the fascination and value come in the formulas and remedies--for physical ailments, emotional and mental disease, and skincare. I knew a lot about the properties of many of the herbs profiled but had no idea how to incorporate them into my life. The simple, easy-to-follow directions make herbal healing approachable to anyone. --Marge Clark, Vintage Aromatherapist , founder and president of Nature's Gift Aromatherapy There is no reason to feel intimidated by herbs when you have Tina Sams as a teacher. I have known Tina as an herbal educator for close to 20 years. In this book, she will guide you through the benefits of some common and not so common herbs while giving you easy instructions for numerous ways of using these herbs to benefit your health. Read this book if you are ready to take that step to bring some herbs and nature into your life. --Dr. Cindy Jones, biochemist, herbalist, author, and cosmetic formulator at Colorado Aromatics I wish this book existed when I began my herbal education. Tina Sams explains the foundations of herbal medicine in clear and simple terms, allowing them to be understood by anyone with an interest in reclaiming their health. Beginners to seasoned practitioners will enjoy the many remedies including in this wonderful book. --Jen Frey, HEARTransformation practitioner, mentor, and Earth advocate
