Herbs for Natural Beauty by Rosemary Gladstar

5.0

Rosemary Gladstar is one of my favorite herbalists and her kind voice and her wisdom make these short, focused booklets easy to read. This booklet begins with a basic overview that is a great starting point for many common beauty care herbs and other ingredients. The remainder of the book includes recipes that are easy to follow, the ingredients are easy to find at a local store or online (she gives reputable resources), and the advice is concise, yet helpful. The brief introductions to each recipe are as useful as the recipe itself, which furthers the herbal education Rosemary introduces in the beginning pages. There is a nice section on using henna for hair color and it is some of the most helpful and informative advice I’ve read about this process.
