Weiss's Herbal Medicine: Classic Edition

wonderful book and so pleased with it

there are countless books with recycled info about herbs often in useless formulaic layouts which just list a range of conditions that the plant treats without getting into the heart of what that herb is really about. There are one or two modern classics (by david hoffmann and simon Mills for eg) and lots of okayish over produced herbals with lavish cookery book type images. and then there is Weiss!!! majestic and magnificent. Weiss was a true master in his field Way too scientific for my taste, but who cares - he gives info that you won't get anywhere else and has angles on herbal usage that come from european traditions and are therefore revelatory for those of us brought up on the anglo-american tradition. Not really for the layman unless you are a very keen amateur but absolutely 100% indespensable for any student or practitioner. If i only had one book on herbal medicine it wouldn't be this one because ultimately christopher Hedley has a better feel for how to heal with plants but Weiss completely owns the scientific corner of herbalism. Do not consider anything other than the 'classic edition'.

Really fast delivery, cant be more happier. Thank you
