Información de la obraThe Master Book of Herbalism por Paul Beyerl
![]() Ninguno Actualmente no hay Conversaciones sobre este libro. ![]() ![]() Wonderful book with a lot to say. As a chemist I have to tell you do not expect detailed (or any really) descriptions of chemical properties, dosage, or common medical practice. It is a wonderful historical book though. It goes through several early herbal manuals and herbologies and syntheses the information into a very manageable form. A few of the herbs mentioned in the book are commonly thought of as poisonous and that is not mentioned so I would never use this book as my only reference for selecting herbs to burn, ingest, or bathe in, but it does give a historical context for herbalism. It also has several huge well thought out indexes for finding Latin names based on common names, astrological correspondence, deity correspondence and more. I would say that this would probably not be a great first book on herbalism (I would recommend Scott Cunningham's for that) but it is a must for the serious student of pagan herbalism. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
