Trade ReviewThis, the most recent of Houdret's 20 natural healing books, is beautifully presented as an oversized book filled with photographs. Short explanations of 40 conditions with formulas are presented on a 1-2 page spread, making for easy access. There is also a 235-herb directory with a short description, medicinal, culinary uses, and a few cultivation tips. Most are traditional English herbs, such as Indian physic, as well as some exotics like nutmeg. It would be nice to update the information with the inclusion of 'new' herbs like rhodiola. Also, curry plant is only profiled as a potpourri herb rather than for its current aromatherapy uses. Step-by-step instructions for making all sorts of herbal preparations are easy to follow thanks to accompanying photos. A prolific author, Houdret's books include the similar An Illustrated Encyclopedia of Herbs (Herb Society, 2010).
