One of my TOP Herbals,
By
This review is from: Rosemary Gladstar's Herbal Recipes for Vibrant Health (Paperback)
I collect herbals- whenever I bring another one home my hubby just shakes his head. This, by far, is one of my top choices. Not a massive tome, this compact book is simply packed with information, an essential for any library. There are a wide variety of numerous recipes, from body care to ailments, to simply longevity. I was just starting to get into herbalism when I bought this book, and have been using it for a couple years. (I will NOT write a review of a recipe book, herbal or not, before I have tried some of the recipes.) The simple salve recipe works WONDERS, and I was so relieved and surprised, having never before made a salve in my life. I use it on everything now- cuts, burns, stings; it will all heal up in a day. Some recipes are complicated, some are quite simple, and most you can adjust.Rosemary Gladstar starts out with covering basic healthy practices for every day life to prevent sickness. She then goes on to cover basic recipes for ailmets and small emergencies such as the flu, colds, burns, and etc. The rest of the book covers specific herbal recipes for body care, women, men, children, and the elderly. Her warmth and obvious passion for life is the heart of this book, and transforms it from simply a herbal medical to a gentle guide and teacher. If you are new to herbalism, you may be slightly overwhelmed by the amount of information in this book, as well as the numerous herbs covered that most people have never heard of- that's ok, just take your time, and read through the small encyclopedia of herbs she gives in the back to familiarize yourself. Definitely add this to your shelf, it's worth it.

Same book as Rosemary Gladstar's Family Herbal (Hardcover),
By V. H. Wilson "V. H. Wilson" (NS,Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Rosemary Gladstar's Herbal Recipes for Vibrant Health (Paperback)
I bought this book sight-unseen as I knew that I would love anything written by Rosemary Gladstar. Not until I received this book did I realize that I already have a hardcopy version of it with a different title!The title page indicates, "A hardcover edition of this book was previously published under the title ROSEMARY GLADSTAR'S FAMILY HERBAL. Sections of this book previously appeared in the author's self-published works THE SCIENCE AND ART OF HERBOLOGY (1985), HERBAL MEDICINAL PREPARATIONS (1989), HERBS FOR CHILDREN (1989), HERBS FOR THE NERVOUS SYSTEM (1989), and NATURAL COSMETICS AND SKIN CARE (1989)." See ISBN: 1580174256 for more details and reviews of the FAMILY HERBAL. At the time of this writing, it currently has 5 stars. I'd give it 6 stars if that was an option! It has a beautiful layout, clear instructions, easy recipes and a bountiful index. For everything I have tried so far, I have found all of the ingredients either in my garden or at the local healthy living store. The table of contents merely hints at the wealth of knowledge contained within: Eco-Logical Herbalism A Prescription for Life Taming Stress and Anxiety Home Remedies for Everyday Ailments Recipes for Radiant Beauty For Children For Women For Men For Elders Appendix I: The Herbal Apothecary: An A-Z Guide Appendix II: The Art of Making Herbal Remedies Resources

Worth every penny and then some,
By Leslie (Calgary, AB) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Rosemary Gladstar's Herbal Recipes for Vibrant Health (Paperback)
It was because of the other positive reviews on this book that I decided to purchase it. I'm so happy I did and I unhesitatingly add my own positive review as a new fan of Rosemary Gladstar's. I'm well on my way to understanding, utilizing, and benefiting from my newfound knowledge about herbs because of her wealth of knowledge. It seemed overwhelming at first with talk of so many things I'd never heard of but such is the way with a new topic. Now that my own herb pantry is slowly and steadily growing, I continue to refer back to her book constantly to keep learning. I've made several of her recipes for beauty products, teas, and tinctures. I'm anxiously awaiting the final results of these wondrous concoctions (the tinctures) as they take a few weeks to complete. If you're serious about wanting to learn about herbs, this is the book for you.
