People have been using herbs to fight disease and promote wellness since prehistoric times. In recent years, science has gotten into the act and amassed quite a respectable body of evidence to support what healers the world over have been saying for centuries – herbal remedies work. Experiencing the heartbreak of psoriasis? A little dandelion root can clear it up. Grandpa’s sciatica acting up again? St. John’s Wort ought to put the spring back in his step. Got a bad case of poison ivy? Stop the itch with echinacea. Ginger tames the morning sickness beast – lavender and peppermint leaf also work well. Use licorice, chamomile, and wild yam root to pacify an irritable bowel.

If you’re one of the millions of people who feel let down by conventional health care, or who’ve experienced unpleasant or harmful side effects from modern medicines, Herbal Remedies For Dummies is a book you’ll want to have. Written by fourth-generation herbalist Christopher Hobbs, it gets you up to speed on what you need to know to:

Choose safe and effective herbal productsTreat scores of common ailments and conditionsFind specific herbal remedies for women, men, and kidsGrow and harvest herbsCreate herbal products at home

    I loved this book. It’s easy to read and gives you good solid information on herbs plus a section on essential oils and homeopathy. I enjoyed the recipes as well. Great book!

    An awesome book! The author is very well versed and schooled in herbs. I feel confident to try any of the herbs he recommends for different ailments and well being. You can really learn about herbs with this book. I would recommend it to anyone who is interested in healing and living a better life the natural way.

  3. Jessica M. Mcgee

    Wonderful Reference for any herbalist.
    I bought this book so I could have a reference for treating myself and my family with all natural herbs. I couldn’t have been more pleased with this purchase. It has everything I could ever need in it. I will probably buy other herb books just to have other references but if you are new to herbs this is the book for you. It has everything a beginner could possibly need.

  4. Glenda Mae

    Starting point for herbal remedies
    I was taught about the use of herbs over 60 years ago by my Grandmother and a friend wanted to learn about them. Most of what I know is not written down and I had no idea where to start. The information I found in this book was excellent for a beginner. The Symptom Guide is most informative and is how healing was practiced before formal (controlled) medicine existed.The book is well organized and include many things that I was taught as a child that I might not have thought about, if I had just depended on my own recall.

  5. Thais Cesare

    excellent, easy to understand resource
    I have used herbs, & herbal remedies in the past, pre internet, then sort of forgot about them. You know busy etc..When Dr.’s started to prescribe way too much medicine, I thought, DUH!Well, I needed something easy to read because herbs, if you don’t understand them, can be dangerous to your health. This book is easy to understand, and now with the internet, so I can find the herbs, all I can say is, Great!Just from getting back on track with what my body needs, I’ve lost 15lbs since Thanksgiving.

    To Be Honest I Never Opened The Cover
    To be honest I never opened the cover. I hate windows 8!!!!! I never hated anything as much as I hate windows 8

    Herbal Remedies for Dummies
    I love this book. I like to try herbal remedies first rather than going to my doctor. I’m also trying to avoid prescription drugs. I have found that some of the herbal remedies work just as well as prescription drugs. With this book I know exactly what herbs to take for whatever symptom I’m experiencing.

  8. islandgrl

    chalk up another point for “for dummies”
    The “for Dummies” people have done it again. I am always skeptical about buying these books, but when I do they always far exceed my expectations. I have one on Hindu, one on Boxers and now this one and they are all great. Clear and simple and as usually they manage to include just about everything on the subject at hand! They have yet to dissapoint!

  9. Jill

    This book was relevant, thorough, and easy to apply-excellent for someone just starting into the world of herbs. The author is easy to understand and simplifies information without treating the reader condescendingly. Reading the book felt like a one-on-one conversation.The author covers everything in an easy to follow approach that allows the reader to adopt what works for them. He doesn’t insist/pressure/guilt you to change your entire lifestyle. He doesn’t use the book as his personal soap-box for touting a herbal revolution or becoming one with nature. It’s just a practical approach to using herbs in ways that benefit your life individually.Loved it!

  10. Anita

    Good book. Easy to understand and follow.

  11. Yogini Star

    Its an okay book, but other Dummies books I have had have been better. Slightl disappointed with this one, as it is not really helpful to use at home.

  12. margie

    I am an herbalist and have considered it one of my best texts…bought this one for a present.
