Herbal Healing for Women

Gladstar is one of the pioneers of the modern herbal healing renaissance. This book covers herbal treatments for women's health problems. Extremely detailed and complete.

Herbs for the Home Medicine Chest

An excellent little manual by one of this country's foremost herbalists. What you need to know to deal with dozens of everyday health problems.

The Herbal Medicine-Maker's Handbook

Don't mistake this for the little pamphlet with the same title by the same author that came out a decade or two earlier. That was good; this is so much better it pretty much renders most other books on the subject obsolete. A fantastically detailed guide to making your own herbal medicines by just about every known method.

The Male Herbal

There are plenty of books on herbal treatments for women's health problems. There are very few about using herbs for men's health. Here you are.

A Modern Herbal

The ultimate encyclopedia of herbs, Grieve's tome is unwieldy to use in a hurry but a major resource if you're willing to take the time to learn your way around herbal medicine. Covers just about every herb known to Western science in the early 20th century.

The Weed Herbal

Don't spray your weeds - harvest them and use them to heal your illnesses. Chatty and a little superficial in places, but still useful.

An Elder's Herbal

You're going to get old, and the way things look right now, you're going to have to do it without modern medical care. Fortunately, there are effective alternatives. This book has them.

The Herbal Handbook

    A good basic book on the subject, with plenty of how-to information on all phases of herbal healing.

The Complete Illustrated Holistic Herbal

Another good basic herbal, with plenty of illustrations and lots of details. If I were choosing a book to introduce herbal medicine to someone who didn't know anything about it, this book would be on the short list.

The Rodale Herb Book

Something on just about every possible use of herbs. The medicinal section is by the opinionated but very experienced Nelson Coon.

Herbs for Health and Healing

A very good basic introduction to herbal medicine, written for the beginner but not just "beginner's stuff." Another item on the short list of books to give the complete novice.

First Aid with Herbs

Herbal First Aid & Health Care

The Herb Book

The first herbal healing book to break into mainstream publishing, this is still a very useful book, crammed with information.
