Product Description
Product Description
"The Complete Book of Herbs" tells you all you need to know about planting, growing and harvesting your own herbs and how to use them in your home. You'll discover that they have a wide range of uses, not only in cooking but also as natural ingredients in home remedies, cosmetics, aromatherapy, household cleaners, insect repellents and crafts. By growing and using your own herbs, you'll keep your family healthy and safe, save money and use fewer chemicals in your home. Feature spreads highlight certain types of herbs (such as Asian herbs, herbs for bouquet garni etc), and there are also quick-reference charts, such as a trouble-shooting guide for pests and diseases. Feature boxes on 'Herbal Folklore' reveal how the medicinal properties of herbs have been strongly associated with magic and folklore for centuries. The beautifully illustrated extensive chapters on cooking, home remedies, beauty products and cleaning provide detailed information with step-by-step recipes and techniques on using herbs in your home.

Format:Paperback
This book is amazing and full of ideas for those wishing to branch out into becoming a herbalist. This book shows what the herb looks like what the main points for a herbalist to cut/use for teas or medicinal purpose. Each page is dedicated to the herb that you are looking at with descriptions of what it is both english if it has local name as well as its latin name. there are no complicated words in this book and it is very easy to use.

Comprehensive, colourful and easy to read - especially good for a newcomer to the world of Herbs, like me. However,it also has all the information required to be a useful reference source in future.

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
After only three days since I ordered this book I was reading it at home and for such a low price I will treasure this for many years to come. This is just another super buy from AMAZON and I always feel safe with any purchase I make through them because they are fast and very reasonable in their prices but more than that always quality.
After I got this book I was glued to it nearly all day it is so informative about herbs
and how to grow them and what kind of soil and tempretures they require also what herbs look like and the kinds of herbs that are good for you and what they do in the body, I just love this book so informative that I shall never get tired reading it, I would sincerely recommend it to any one thinking of growing herbs. I must also add that the book did not look very big on the site but it is really big and has 399 pages approx A4
SIZE so that I think is big.
