The Encyclopedia of Herbal Medicine by Andrew Chevallier is a must-have for anyone interested in natural health and holistic wellness. This beautifully designed, comprehensive guide covers over 560 herbs, providing detailed insights into their benefits, uses, and preparation methods.

The clear imagery and straightforward writing make it easy to identify plants and craft your own remedies at home. Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned herbalist, this book is an invaluable resource for anyone looking to embrace the power of natural healing.

This book is jam-packed with valuable herbal information and absolutely stunning to flip through. The design is clean, the layout is easy to navigate, and the photos are gorgeous. It’s a perfect mix of function and beauty — I’m very happy with this purchase and can see it becoming a long-term reference.

The Encyclopedia of Herbal Medicine is a great resource for herbal remedies, with over 500 herbs listed, with uses and recipes for many common ailments. Anyone interested in herbal healing should have a copy of this, it's a thorough guide, with detailed information on each herb, as well as plenty of pictures to identify them. Definitely a must-have!

Gives enough detail information with graphics pictures in colors. At the last couple of pages how to make herbal remedies.

This was a fantastic gift for my mother in law who is interested in herbalism. It reads like a very user friendly text book. Best part for me is the illustrations, it helped me engage way more with the information. The hardcover and page quality are beautiful. It’s also just information and not “woo woo” for those that matters to. Great purchase!

This is very thorough and helpful. I love that it not only is an encyclopedia of herbs but also gives useful instruction to using them in addition to drawings of 100 of them. The only thing I do wish it had would be a way to divide it by areas the plants grow best in/are native to in order to know where to look for them in the wild. It does give a list to some degree in the beginning where it breaks down historical herbal medicine by region.

I love the information in this book. Beautiful pictures too. It has been helpful. Take control of your health with your own healing herbs. Now I want to grow my own herbs.

My wife got me this for Christmas a couple of years back, and it have had steady use for it ever since. It contains a brief overview of (broadly speaking) the different traditions of herbalism of the World and then 100 entries on key medicinal plants (I've attached a picture with an example) and 450 lesser entries on other medicinal plants (There's also an example attached). It also contains handy guides for making different herbal remedies. Where the book really shines however is in the inclusion of by aliment, so you can look up an ailment and see what herbs are listed as provided relief against it.
