Everything you need to know about plant medicine: the history, how it works, how to grow, gather and prepare herbs, and how to use them to create a herbal prescription.
Herbal medicines have been used for many centuries to treat illnesses and restore health, and today herbalism still remains the most widely-practised form of medicine around the world.
Written by a leading medical herbalist, this new revised edition of The Complete Herbal Tutor provides in-depth knowledge of the practice and theory of herbal medicine.
The illustrated materia medica contains over 150 herbs, with thorough descriptions of their properties and active ingredients. There is also a clear explanation of how herbs can be used to treat each of the body's systems, with advice on using remedies for healing a range of specific conditions.
This revised edition of Anne McIntyre's popular classic will be invaluable to all herbalists and students of herbal medicine.
It is beautifully illustrated with a series of colour photographs, many taken by the author in her own garden.
