This is a great book for anyone looking to learn the basics of making any type of herbal medicines including, tincture, ointments, salves, lotions, glycerites and more.

THE HERBAL MEDICINE-MAKER’S HANDBOOK is an entertaining compilation of natural home remedies written by one of the great herbalists, James Green. Writing in a delightfully personal and down-home style, Green emphasizes the point that herbal medicine-making is fundamental to every culture on the planet and is accessible to everyone.
