This book breaks down the active ingredients found in plants we might chose to use in a home remedy.My personal opinion is that no herbalist can honestly consider themselves sufficient in quality to meet a need or qualify as an herbal practitioner without this book as their guide.Granted, it isn't covering every plant chemical, or every plant known to mankind up to date, but it should provide enough information for practical purposes used in the traditional herbalist lair.However, this book is one of the best guides for the aspiring student of pharmacy, organic chemist and nutritionist.I believe this book to be a treasure for a clearer understanding in ethnobotany as well.I would recommend this book to anyone seeking an insider clarity of phyto-chemicals.
