Review
"The Family Herbal, written in a readable, gentle style, leads the reader by the hand, taking him or her through a basic understanding of the herb's effects, mechanisms of action, cautions, indications, and methods of preparation and use. The practical experiences and gentle guiding hand of the Theisses gives the reader a heightened degree of confidence in using herbs. More than 70 quality color photographs are included, many full page. A good, practical, contemporary presentation."
The Bloomsbury Review
This book outlines herbal treatments for a wide range of ailments. Particular attention is paid to herbal remedies for childhood illnesses and disorders associated with old age. The Theisses stress the importance of illness prevention, and feel that along with better health, herbal healing will inspire a return to the personal initiative we may once have had to heal ourselves.
