The Holistic Herbal: A Herbal Celebrating the Wholeness of Life Paperback – December 1, 1987

Very informative and a book I will reference to a lot I am sure. Clear and easy to read. Also a book that can be handed down to others to help in their herbal journey

His book has an approach of working holistically with the body and different systems. He gives wonderful recommendations, and then some not wonderful recommendations (specifically in the nutrition aspect of drinking skim milk). Otherwise this is a wonderful resource to have.

It was in great condition smell so bad though also it was pretty dirty but other than that I love it

This is a wonderful resource for anyone committed to herbal medicine and holistic living. However, I would not say that it is for the beginner. Hoffman does not offer comprehensive safety information, such as for pregnancy or breastfeeding. Also, the herbal is geared towards a European audience and therefore some of the herbs in the book are not readily found in the U.S. or go by different names here.I return to this herbal consistently, especially when I would like to focus on a particular body system or problem. For example, I recently cleansed my liver for spring was able to create my own blend combining information from this herbal with my general knowledge and other herbals.

I am so happy with my purchase! After having lost my copy of this book many years ago, I had given up on replacing it. I really was ready to pay 10x the amount to put it back in my library... Thank-you, thank-you, thank-you!! Not only did I get it for a really great price, it was in better shape than expected. The book even arrived way before it was expected to. I will be using this seller again.

Love this book!

Great book

Very informative and detailed book.

A great go-to herbal which priorities the systems of the body and herbal actions, with an introduction on holism. Some points are a bit dated now, like the use of comfrey root, but in general a really top book.

The book is a great classic Herbalist basic knowledge.But the copy what I purchased was not new, but used.As you can see in the attached pictures, there was some old food traces between the pages.I had to disinfect the book…

A brilliant book. For anyone interested in holistic health, herbology or medicine in general this is worth reading and owning. Very highly recommended.

Book is manifactured beautifully and solid. Got it as a Gift for my girlfriend who's into botanics. So we were very surprised to not find "Bärlauch" in the Journal, while cooking with it. Just common garlic. So it is, in my opinion, a great coffeetable book, but not a serious and complete index of europian herbals.

Perfect book, great writing and well illustrated
