Review

Whether you are just beginning on your wellness adventure or a seasoned wellness enthusiast, herbs are important. Not only are they great for teas, but they have nutritional and healing qualities that can assist in achieving and maintaining optimal health. If you know someone just beginning to learn about wellness or someone who has done a lot of health research already, Let s Get Natural With Herbs: The Most Complete A-Z Reference Guide to Utilizing Herbs for Healing and Beauty, is a PHENOMENAL resource. I own and have read a lot of books on herbs. This book by far though, is one of the most comprehensive I have seen. In addition to easy to understand guidelines for how to use and prepare herbs, the book contains information on over 450 medicinal herbs and plants as well as bee products, vitamins, minerals, and amino acids. Each description includes not only basic information about the herb but also what the herb can be used for, how it tastes, how it can be prepared, things to be cautions of, and potential contraindications and drug interactions. The book also contains a formulary to help you create herbal formulas for over 130 ailments as well as formulas for health and beauty. Wondering how to make your own shampoo, create your own toxin-free insect repellent, or soothe your baby? This book has the keys! Want a toxin free recipe for your pet s fleas and ticks or perhaps you are looking to create an air freshener that you will not regret using? It is all in the book! Personally, I am so happy to have it on my shelf. It is the perfect gift for someone looking to live naturally. I highly recommend for the health novice or the health guru! --Danielle - 4 Health Inc.
