Book Reviews of Herbal Remedies for Dummies
Book Review: excellent, easy to understand resource
Summary: 5 Stars
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.
