Customer Reviews

Herbal Pharmacy
Jerry Baker's books are always concise, practical, and never leave room for guess work. In this book he has applied those principals to give us a small book packed full of specific information and done it with witt and humor. He has helped preserve a dying art and preserved information for generations to come. I have several large herbal reference books, but none give specific amounts to take of an herb, which left me guessing. He gives specific details and also tells you in the margins counterindications if the herb might not be appropriate to take. For people who take their herbs seriously, they will not find a better guide.

herbal wisdom
This is a wonderful and very informative book. Lots of information on many of the commom herbs we use daily in cooking. Good book for the home gardener and the chef of the family.
