A really good starter to herbalism!

I'm a person who always been interested in medicinal herbs and learn mostly by doing stuff with my hands or having someone to teach; trust me I do well but I'm also anxious. I was kinda skeptical on how this audiobook would keep me motivated to be focused. I was amazed on Mister Barrow used of words and explanation that was so easy for me to understand. This guida is for beginners and is a GOOD ONE! My mind is getting open to the world of herbalism; it took me less than a week with this audiobook! I need to listen other few chapters to complete the audiobook, and I already start practicing to make my own medicinal apothecary.

Great guide to enter in this world!

I've always had some cooking type herbs growing in with my flowers in my home garden and wanted to expand my use of herbs beyond cooking. Wasn't sure what to do or how to use them. Bought this audiobook and I'm so glad I did! It's very well made and informative. When listening it I felt like I was in Kevin Barrow's garden. He is a perfect teacher! The guide isn't full of just wordy chapters to fill pages of her thoughts that just bore you. He gets right to the point. Every chapter is chock full of very simple instructions. He shares recipes for things like teas, tonics, tinctures and liniments and he has the botanical name with the common name. I really felt like I could be a master at herbal medicine in no time. Very easy to comprehend. I am encouraged to use and grow my herbs. You can understand listening the audiobook he really does care that you have a total comprehension of the herbs and there uses.

Highly Recommend to anyone interested to nature!

This is a wonderful audiobook .I bought it because my apothecary friend recommended it , and yes I bought this audiobook for curiosity. I have been making my own tinctures for about 15 years ,this guide can teach you new stuff no matter your skill level .I got this audiobook only yesterday . I have a collection of herbalist books, and only one other book even touches the kitchen herbs .He covers a variety of herbs and includes growing tips .His descriptions and attention to detail make it easy to follow and understand .

Great for newbies

I've found this audiobook helpful in my search for more natural solutions to health issues. I use this guide in conjunction with internet/blog/pinterest searches for remedies and recipes using herbal ingredients and essential oils. Like so many other reviewers, I think this is a great audiobook.

Excellent Starting Point!

I just get my audiobook yesterday (yay for Prime Members!) and have skimmed over the entire thing. It's incredibly well organized. The information in here is a GREAT starting point for any budding herbalist, I think it is not only for beginners. If you want to know about the herbs (i.e., most herbs like aloe will have a LOT more uses than are listed in other audiobook), this audiobook is for you. 5 stars. You can quite easily build on the knowledge she gives you. I'm so very pleased with it and can't wait to really dig into the guide. Onwards!

Author recommended!

New to herbalism, this author was recommended, i love his audiobook so much, I ordered herbs from his suggested sources which are nice quality. Im excited to start this new adventure into herbs and naturopathic medicine, as a nurse for over 17 years in an ICU setting i can tell you i appreciate how he describes the chemical component of each herb and why its effective. Very well researched.

Stop researching and buy this!

I did my research on various medicinal herb books and I’m glad I went with this one! Very informative on the plant, how to use, how to grow, how to identify, and where to find. Has it all for a very reasonable price!

Everyone interested in herbs should invest in!

This is a really great herbs book for anyone looking to dabble more in this area. Kevin barrow is undoubtedly one of the respected pioneers in this field. He has structured this book into a very easy Listen to manner. He provides great instructions on the proper way to prepare teas, tinctures, syrups, decoctions, infusions and many more. He has also provided proper dosage for adults and children.There are proper details of the best medicinal herbs. Detailed instructions on how to plant the herbs are given. She has also provided safety guidelines. I love how he has written and narrated this audiobook in a very conversational tone.

Do Not Miss This One!

Before I begin I should make it clear that I am by no means "new" to the use of Medicinal Herbs. Although I will always consider myself a student in this area - as no one can truly learn it all - I have been growing and using herbs for many years now. I bought this audiobook though because I felt it would make a great addition to my ever growing library and thought it may be a good guide to use for teaching - both my children and others in my area. I could not have been more correct! I am an avid note taker when I read or listen and have found that taking notes while listening this audiobook nearly requires copying the whole thing word for word. NOTHING in this book is worth skipping or forgetting. Perfect for the avid herbalist as well as the brand-newbie!

Very Informative!

When I bought this guide, I never expected it to be such a page turner! This audiobook is very well written, and he shares a lot of great information about herbs and how to grow them, what they can be used for medicinally, and recipes! He also walks you through the how to's of making teas, infused oils, and so much more!! I definitely would recommend purchasing this audiobook if you want to learn more about the plants around you!

The Best!

Really really enjoying this audiobook! This man is the formulator for traditional medicinals. He knows her stuff. This guide is well organized and lovely for beginners.

Best buy!

This is such a perfect guide if you want to grow your own healing herbs and make healing recipes. It's beautifully narrated with so much love and inspiration and beautifully laid out. Perfect for someone starting to grow herbs and make herbal medicine. It's not overwhelming with information. It's not complicated.

Highly recommended!

I'm rather new to home-grown medicines, but not new to growing herbs. This audiobook not only talks about growing herbs, but teaches you how to use what you grow. Raccomanded!

Amazing herbalist!

I didn't pick the guide based on the reviews, but saw it suggested on a homesteading forum. But this audiobook isn't just for the would-be homesteader. Anyone with a balcony and containers could grow herbs and make their own products. 5 STARS!

This is my favorite herbal guide.

The guide is jam packed with all you need to get started using all the herbs you grow, and to forage some in the wild. Even if you already have some knowledge about herbs, this audiobook will help you take it a step further. It is a dandy reference to have and I'm glad that I popped for the audiobook rather than the Kindle version.

This is a beautiful guide!

My home garden I has many of the herbs mentioned in the audiobook and I just felt happy and proud when I started listening it and discovering some basic things I can do with my herbs and some weeds [e.g. dandelion, chickweed, etc). There are classified by herb and a brief intro and history/how to use for each herb.

This guide has a wealth of information

This audio-book has a wealth of information, especially for anyone who is a beginner at growing medicinal herbs. Barrow guides you through selecting herbs, their purpose and health benefits, tips for growing the plants, how and when to harvest, and then he provides choices for preserving the herbs. The guide is an inspiration to me. It helps me to plan and prepare for my upcoming growing season and a healthier life ahead.

Beautiful audiobook that is a pleasure to listen

I love this audiobook. I listened it chapter to chapter and enjoyed the entire thing. If you are interested in starting any sort of herb garden or having your own apothecary, or if you're just interested in the topic, buy this audiobook! You will absolutely not be disappointed.

Perfect for a beginner like me

This guide is perfect for beginners, Barrow goes into what you need for medicinal herb creations, and has many recipes included in the audiobook. He explains well the tools of the trade, and covers some basic healing herbs for you to start with. I must admit, I would have liked more info on how best to plant and care for the plants, but he does give some good tips. And I'm a beginner after all! Recommend this book highly for those beginning on a course of using herbal medicines.
