“Contraindications first, folklore second. That ordering tells you who wrote it.”
Marta S. — community herbalist
“The preparation methods section is written like a lab protocol. I have had no failed macerations since.”
Julien F. — apothecary owner
“I have read a lot of herb writing. Very little of it cites anything. This does.”
