this is a must,
By
This review is from: The Village Herbalist: Sharing Plant Medicines with Your Family and Community: Sharing Plant Medicines with Family and Community (Paperback)
If like me you can just get lost in reading a herbal this is for you!!!!Not a herbal but lots of advice about growing, harvesting & preparing herbs - with many interviews with different herbalists. Just what is a herbalist anyway - this is covered as well as the spirit connection to plants. There's just so much in this book. I didn't want it to end. I thank them for this much needed book.

This review is from: The Village Herbalist: Sharing Plant Medicines with Your Family and Community: Sharing Plant Medicines with Family and Community (Paperback)
A really wonderful book - I didn't want it to end. Covers all aspects of using plants with many interviews with practising herbalists/plant people. You really get a sense of how much they enjoy their work.

A Refreshing Point of View,
By Madison Woods "Fantasy Writer" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Village Herbalist: Sharing Plant Medicines with Your Family and Community: Sharing Plant Medicines with Family and Community (Paperback)
This book is so in line with my own philosophy regarding herbalism! Very interesting, appealing to both experienced and newcomers alike. I've decided to use this book as the main text for the herbal course that I teach. It was hard not to rush through it in one night, and I, too, had to force myself to savor every page :)

Complete Guide to Practicing Community Herbalism,
By Tina Finneyfrock, Master Herbalist - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Village Herbalist: Sharing Plant Medicines with Your Family and Community: Sharing Plant Medicines with Family and Community (Paperback)
The Village Herbalist is a long overdue love letter to all of us who serve our communities as herbalists.Covering every aspect of herbal practice, from setting up a business, practical tips, information on making preparations, to questions of ethical practices and some of the internal/political struggles concerning the herbal community, this book will give those interested in herbalism as a livlihood a good sense of what to expect. My favorite aspect of "The Village Herbalist" is the many profiles of practicing herbalists scattered throughout the book, along with quotes from other herbalists concerning their opinions on the various topics covered. My initial reaction was to sit down and devour this attractive and well illustrated book, but my instincts told me to read slowly and savor it instead. 1 of 1 people found the following review helpful:

Just purchase "The Herbalist's Way" instead,
By Tonks Plum - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Village Herbalist: Sharing Plant Medicines with Your Family and Community: Sharing Plant Medicines with Family and Community (Paperback)
If you own or are looking to purchase "The Herbalist's Way" by the same authors then this book is as good as redundant. The Herbalist's Way can be considered the new revised addition to "The Village Herbalist" & is packed with "more" information. The distinct difference I have found (I just received this book after ordering) are the 8 full color photos of people tending & picking herbs (cover & title have been changed).
It's still nice to get if you just "have" to have it but not really necessary so I am a bit disappointed that this was not mentioned anywhere before I paid money for this book. Still, no complaints on content but 3 stars because there is a better version out there. Well now I know why it's no longer in print lol!! |
