Name 5 books you’d take on a deserted island….
This would FOR SURE be one of them!* Hopefully it would be an island with an abundance of flora & fauna; I’d have many of the necessary ingredients available at my fingertips.This book is also precise and thorough with great indexes for finding topics by ailment and treatment in different sections.There are good pictures as well. The book seems well written and edited and I would absolutely buy it again.

THE BIBLE OF HERBAL MEDICINE!
This is a complete, comprehensive guide to herbs, from identifying, growing, harvesting, herbal remedies including SAFETY, including a glossary, index, index of herbs by ailment, useful websites and more! It’s illustrated by photography. I personally like that warnings are given about certain plants. Pharmaceutical use and history is very interesting as well! Whatever herbal/plant books you may have, this should be your herbal medicine textbook.

Excellent condition
I purchased this used and it looks brand new. I received it quickly. I haven’t had a chance to read throughly, but it looks to have good photos and a fair amount of information. It doesn’t appear to have any harvest info, or much research info, though.
