Master Recipes from the Herbal Apothecary is exactly what you would expect it to be: a list of herbal remedies for a wide range of ailments. The book doesn't promise to cure you of serious illnesses, but it does provide information for supplementary and preventative care. I didn't have the chance to try the recipes (I don't have the supplies) but the information was easy to digest and seemed to line up with what I know. I'd definitely recommend this for someone who wants to have a guide on hand, but not for someone who is just starting out and needs to learn the ropes.
