The Herbal Apothecary: 100 Medicinal Herbs and How to Use Them by J.J. Pursell
informative
slow-paced
2.0
The book doesn't speak about where the plants listed grow, if they're invasive species in certain places, or where they are indigenous to. This feels like a huge chunk of information that's been left out.
Even just "nettles have two species that have hybridized and naturalized throughout the world" or a mention of which chickweed or which elder plant they're talking about, not just listing a scientific name and hoping people get it right.
The book also lists endangered and protected plants for medicinal use! Do your research and make sure that you're buying from a reputable supplier, and if you gather plants yourself, be mindful.
