Whoa!!! Sooo many great books on a wonderful subject!!!
I hae quite the library of the sort...love every piece...but my tried and trues are 4 that I cross ref from:
* A 2-book set by Mrs. M. Grieve called "A Modern Herbal"--excellent for the beginner seeking info on the all around folklore, medicinal, culinary, & even cultivation of the plant world.
*A must have for any herbalist..."Back to Eden" by Jethro Kloss...big Daddy of the herb world...lots of great old info--the whys & what fors of remedies.
*A good ref for Western/Eastern medicinals...Michael Tierra's "The Way of Herbs".
Another addition for the person who wants to cover all the bases..."Earthway" by Mary Summer Rain...this is the future of medicine through the eyes of a great Native American, No-Eyes...you'll get the irony when you get to know the woman...very informative about common sense stuff, star stuff, and color stuff, as she would put it, as well as the dark sides of the plant realm that most books don't explain well enough.
As part of your gift, turn your friend on to www.herbalhealer.com...Mariah McCain is above & beyond even Kevin Trudeau...very awesome chickie indeed, and sooo very come-on sense...they can get a free catalog and e-mail news that they won't know how they've lived without.
Good Journey to both!!!
