Earl Mindell's New Herb Bible: A complete update of the bestselling guide to new and traditional herbal remedies - how they can help fight depression ... prevent illness, and help you heal faster!

I had been told of the Herb Bible by a friend who even has a pocket version (I want that!) and I decided to buy one for my mom's household. She was fascinated by it and spent a good portion of Christmas Eve reading it. I then perused it as well and it is a wonderful way to begin learning about herbs and their benefits, particularly in place of over the counter meds. We are a family of believers in natural remedies anyway, but had no nice, small carry along book to guide us better. Now we do! I am buying 3 or 4 more for myself and friends. And the best part of this book is that it also gives you warnings about certain herbs and when to consult your doctor if you are taking meds. THAT is priceless! One thing I would love to have in an herb book is a list of ailments and the herbs that help. For instance, in the glossary it would be nice to look up INFLAMMATION and find the page detailing which herb is helpful for that. But I am being picky. Perhaps I need a different book for that.

Has some misprinting & spelling. Still a good source book

Earl Mindell is my hero :D I love his writing style. He keeps it simple and easy to read.

The book has useable information however, the print is small and it wasn't as I had hoped. I was looking for a book that was direct and to the point concerning which vitamins and minerals worked well together and which have a negative interaction with one another and or medications.

You can pick up this book and find out just about any herb and how it is used to increase your health. I think I will use it to concoct my own tea infusions. P. 166 talks about herbal teas and their uses. P. 167-9 provides a table with the type of herb and its general use. I'll have to try some sage tea; it improves brain nourishment and is known as the thinker's tea! It chalked full of useful information!

Very helpful. Very informative. Print is a little on the small side because the book itself, is small. A larger print and book size would have made it great but the content is a "must have."

Knowledge is power ... and if Earl Mindell has written it, you should be reading it ... and reading it often!Face the facts ... prescriptions have become more than just expensive, they have become hazardous to your health! We see the commercials all the time ... this pill will help treat your illness, though the side-effects may kill you! Natural medicines work ... afteral, they were created by God, as was marijuana (anti-depressant) ... but even natural medicines should never be abused.

This is a good resource to have on your shelf if you are interested in medicinal herbs. By no means is it a end all be all resource by I like to cross reference it with the other herb books that I own.

A good book if you want to know of commonly used herbs. This book gives benefits/remedial use of any particular herb. A basic but a good reference book.

This boook is exactly what is says The Herb bible, it is a wonderful book that gives in depth info an all the herbs and tinctures ideal for alternative treatments. A must have......

Really useful book

Informative and helpful

Excellent book
