THIS IS A MUST HAVE BOOK!!!

I just got my masters in herbal medicine with a concentration in product design and I am a practicing RD/LDN for 19 years. I have read a lot of herbal and nutrition books. This book is hands down a go to for me when I am formulating ideas for my self, my family and clients. The formulas are straightforward and easy to understand because Tilgner provides reasons for use on each her in the formulas. This is a great resource !!!!

Loaded with Information

I have many, MANY herbal and plant based medicine books, but this is one of the best. It's not an ID guide book, but that aside it has a great deal of information that I have not seen elswhere. It came this afternoon and I'm still reading it tonight, with a pen and notebook beside it. I would recommend it.

A "Must Have" Herbal Book!

An absolute treasure of a book! I love all the information on herb schools, herb supplies, harvesting, formulas, dosing, preparations and working with clay. Precise and excellent instructions are included. There is so much information packed into these 400+ pages. I wish I had known of, and bought, this book earlier in my herb journey! It helps take herbal use to the next level. This is a game changer for me.

My Go To Herbal Therapy Guide

As a registered herbalist (AHG) and naturopath, I'm always seeking confirmation and continuing support of my patient protocols. This is about the best herbal reference available. I loved the first version, now I just purchased the second expanded edition. Great job, Dr. Tilgner!
