Herbal Books For Beginners


Herbal Books For Beginners
I'm often asked for book advice from people who are interested in Herbalism and want to get started. I've been practicing herbalism for a number of years now and these are three of the books that I personally recommend for beginners.

THE FRAGRANT PHARMACY - A COMPLETE GUIDE TO AROMATHERAPY & ESSENTIAL OILS

Valerie Ann Worwood


ISBN: 9780553403978

WHAT THE COVER SAYS: The Fragrant Pharmacy opens the way to a whole world of fresh possibilities. It is a new approach to nature through one of its most powerful forms - those fragrant 'essential oils' drawn from flowers and grasses, trees and roots, leaves and fruit, that remain the great untapped resources of our planet.

The Fragrant Pharmacy shows how each essential oil can offer many diverse benefits. One of the most holistic of all systems of medicine, the oils can alleviate symptoms, prevent many illnesses and disorders and help in their healing process. But more than that, they can provide all of us - our families, our homes, even our pets - with the protections and pleasures we needwithout the chemical pollution of our bodies or our environment.

This illuminating and imaginative book of aromatherapy is the household manual of the future. It is a treasury of information about precious life- and health-enhancing liquids that work in complex harmony with people and planet alike. Here is a comprehensive encyclopaedia of 'medicines out of the earth', those miracles of creation which revitalise and rejuvenate, enhance our emotions and help our work and play. It charts out for all of us a fragrant way to family health and home delights.

Review: This is one book I would not be without, covering topics from the extraction and methods of use of Essential Oils; how to prepare a Basic Care Kit for non-emergency first aid situations; Occupational oils for the Working Man and Woman; oils for Sports, Dance and Workouts; formulas for Face, Body Babies Men's Health; Essential Help in Maturing Years; Home Fragrances; Cooking with Essential Oils; Pet care; Gardening; and how to create your own Gifts for seasonal celebrations.

Valerie's friendly style is engaging and easy to understand, the book is structured for both casual reading and research with a number of helpful diagrams and charts for easy reference. The focus of this book is to provide medicinal remedies, it does not contain magickal information.
