Rodale's Illustrated Encyclopedia of Herbs

An herb is a plant valued for its medicinal, savory, or aromatic qualities. It is a plant not merely to look at but to use. And using herbs is the focus of this book.

Packed into these pages is an incredible amount of practical, helpful how-to information. Not just on medicinal uses of herbs, and not just on culinary uses, but on all the uses of more than 140 herbs.
