Master Recipes from the Herbal Apothecary: 375 Tinctures, Salves, Teas, Capsules, Oils, and Washes for Whole-Body Health and Wellness

It was recommended in the Woman's Weekly. Even though the writer is American and mentions American plants, I am sure a good herbalist supplier would have them. My late father grew Echinacea as a herbaceous flower over 20 years ago, so I am not concerned about herbs being from North America. It is excellent condition.

My husband bought me a copy of this book because I'm at the very beginning of my herbal studies and I'm devouring every bit of knowledge I can lay my hands on. I've read a lot of herbal books lately, really fantastic titles but this book is outstanding. It's quickly becoming my go to reference for recipes I'll be using at home. I love everything about it. It's beautifully simple in its layout, hundreds of useful, practical recipes, all fantastic, easily accessible and unintimidating. I can't recommend this book enough. Thank you J.J Pursell for sharing your knowledge and for creating such a masterpiece of herbalism. I'm going to buy everything you've written!

Very disappointed. Obscure ingredients and very American biased. Had to pay to return it so won't bother. Just to say, though, that the condition of the book was perfect.

As an herbalist and holistic health advocate, I really like this book! It has fantastic recipes on herbal medicine, natural health, wellness, self-care and holistic healing. The layout is extremely clear, so you can find a recipe for your ailment quickly and easily. I'd prefer if there was a bit more depth of info on each recipe, but there is a larger quantity of remedies instead. This book empowers you to care for yourself and loved ones using natural, plant-based remedies. I make a lot of natural health supplement capsules, so I love that there are plenty of recipes here for them, as well as many other forms of natural medicine, including: tinctures, tisanes, flower essence blends, aromatherapy blends, suppositories, fomentations, syrups, massage oils, poultices, lozenges, and more. Master Recipes is great for beginner healers and more advanced herbalists and naturopaths as well. It has an overview of important herbs to have on hand, as well as basic formulation methods. There is something for everyone here, with recipes for treating and preventing a very wide array of health concerns, from the everyday to the chronic. It's informative, easy to understand, and full of useful homemade remedies and anecdotes. JJ Pursell never disappoints with her knowledge, research and writing. This herbal recipe book is fantastic! (I'm disappointed that the book costs $4 less now than it did last month. I should've just waited instead of jumping to purchase it brand new.)

Beautifully laid out with easy-to-follow recipes for tinctures, teas, and salves. Great for beginners and experienced herbalists alike. Pros: Clear instructions, lots of variety, great resource. Cons: Some recipes call for harder-to-find ingredients.
