The Herb Lady's Notebook

Venus Andrecht, Master Herbalist, has all the right credentials: Her herbal education includes study at internationally famous herbal colleges and with some of the world’s greatest herbalists and naturopaths, including the late Drs. John Christopher and Bernard Jensen. However, she feels that her most complete and certainly most interesting knowledge came from working directly with thousands of unsuspecting (and sometimes suspecting!) people over the course of more than 30 years in the field. Venus’s past experience as the proprietor of a retail herb shop and as a constant lecturer on the subject of natural health gives her an insider’s understanding of herbs and their practical uses. The Herb Lady’s Notebook is a funny, entertaining, and informative journal detailing simple and inexpensive herbal programs that are illustrated with true-case histories from her files. Only the names have been changed to protect the indignant.
