Review by Pat Regel
While you're making plans for your perennials, don't forget your herbs.
Have you ever spent a lot of time consulting several herbals in order to find all the information you needed? Susanne Fischer-Rizzi's new book will shorten your search -- it has just about everything. As an herbalist, Fischer-Rizzi studied Ayurvedic and Tibetan herbal healing practices and later, herbal medicine in Germany. Her book, Medicine of the Earth, is packed with information about 33 of her favorite healing herbs. In it, you'll find: herb culture, illustrations and descriptions, mythological and historical background, folk wisdom, medicinal uses, healing properties, ancient and modern recipes and instructions for harvesting and processing herbs.
Medicine of the Earth could serve as a text for the serious herbalist or the curious novice planting the first herb garden. There's something in it for all levels of herbal interest.
Pat Regel writes and makes plans for her own spring garden in Nashville.
