My copy of Healing Wise is dog-eared and worn from so much use. This is a classic reference book for anyone interested in using herbs for health and healing. Susun Weed covers seven common herbs (weeds!) in loving detail, describing their healing properties, habitats, and personalities. The book includes wonderful recipes for meals utilizing healing herbs, as well as instructions for making salves, tinctures, and other medicines. With its wealth of information and Susun Weed's unique approach to herbalism, Healing Wise is an excellent primer for the budding herbalist as well as being useful for those with more experience.

Nobody teaches herbs like Susun Weed. Sharp and stinging in person like one of her favorite plant allies, Nettle, she nevertheless shares information in a way that helps you remember it long after you encounter her. Her books are a far gentler way of learning from her, and Healing Wise is a wonderful starting point. The book covers different traditions of healing, detailed profiles of a handful of common herbs for nourishment and wellness, and simple herbal preparations you can make in your kitchen with easy to find supplies. (Glass jars, vodka, and olive oil mostly, plus the herbs of course.)

Get this book. It's brilliant.
