Whether you are an accomplished herbal practitioner, or a newbie looking for more natural and less harmful ways of caring for the health of yourself and your family, with this book you have the considerations and techniques for making the medicines you desire in your kitchen or shed, right there where you are most comfortable: at home.As you know, you can buy everything from quality crafted tinctures to questionable herbal capsules even in chain grocery stores, but the most dependably effective medicines will often be those you have made yourself.
