 Nice reference Guide
The Green Pharmacy is full of herbal info and basic facts regarding most popular herbs. I refer to it a lot and really felt it was a good investment. I'm new to herbs so I've learned a lot. I've started taking some additional supplements after discovering the health benefits available from herbs.

Looking for an alternative to our pill popping culture ? ( valgo72 )
So you're looking for an alternative to pill popping ? Now that's a change! I'm in awe of people who think it it's ok to take a pill to prevent something that they think is going to happen - for example, a friend mentioned that she needs to take a strong pain pill (I won't mention the name here) because she "may" get back pain. That's not what pills were made for. If you worry about the side effects of even the mildest drugs, then this book is for you. I hate taking any kind of medication, and am always on the lookout for alternatives to medication. Give me an herb or a fruit, or vegetable, and tell me to take that for a medical problem, and I'll happily give it a try!
I like this book because it's filled with information on various natural remedies. There's a reason God created these herbs and plants - for us or the animals to use them to cure ourselves. Sure, we can't cure everything, but this book certainly shows you how to "cure" or control many, many problems. I highly recommend it!
Another one I love is "Back to Eden" by Jethro Kloss.
