Back to Eden: Classic Guide to Herbal Medicine, Natural Food and Home Remedies Since 1939

Jethro Kloss shares his great knowledge and years of personal experience in the areas of herbs and their specific uses in herbal medicine.

This book is a must for anyone interested natural health and healing. An incredible reference for the herbal practitioner, pro or newcomer.

Detailed here, the history of herbal medicine, discussions of herbs and their properties, specific herbs for various medical problems, medicinal trees, as well as sections on your body and it's needs, foods, food preparation, water and good health, and many others.

A great "how-to" book complete with formulas that explain the basics to the more complex combinations.

Glossaries of medical terms and herbal properties, and indexes are very thorough for a "paperback".

A true "guide" to herbal medicine, natural foods, and home remedies.
