Question:
What book on home remedies and herbal medicine is the best?

You see these informercials on herbal medicine and cures and I wonder to myself is there any value to these books. So what do you think, is there a popular book on home remedies that is worth having?

Answer: Little Herb Encyclopedia: The Handbook of Nature's Remedies for a Healthier Life by Jack Ritchason is the one I've sworn by for many years now.

http://www.amazon.com/little-herb-encycl... I really like Prescription For Natural Cures by Balch and Stengler. It is a goldmine of info on complimentary and alternative medicine. It has a good section on herbs.
