Heal Local: 20 Essential Herbs for Do-it-Yourself Home Healthcare

This book is excellent. It is not for rank beginner herbal folks who may need more information on herbal basics which they can easily get elsewhere. There is no woo-woo here, and it takes a very responsible attitude about personal healthcare.Dawn Combs stresses that working with a good health professional for diagnoses is important and that these herbs may not be the only things you rely on. But they may..... if you know what you're doing.This book uses 20 plants you can grow yourself - what if the light do go off for months? - and use knowledgeably for your and your family's health.It will help you think through what you need to do to start your own apothecary, to help you get to know the 20 plants, and to help you decide what herbs are useful for certain conditions.There are certainly more than 20 plants that you could use, but it's very satisfying to know that I can grow and identify herbs that are useful. It turns out her list and mine were quite similar.If you're wondering about the book, do take the time to peruse the sample pages offered. You'll get a good idea of what is covered.A very useful book and it meets the current requirements for my personal goals perfectly.
