For someone new to making your own herbal remedies, I have to say this book is one of the most comprehensive I have seen to date. Not only is it user-friendly by being well organized, but very down to Earth, allowing everyone to experiment without putting anyone in danger. One of my favorite section has to be the one on pets, having a very user-friendly insect repellent and flea wash.
