Making Plant Medicine

Love this book. This man knows volumes about growing herbs and making herbal medicines. He very generously shares his knowledge on Youtube, promptly answers questions on his strictlymedicinalseeds website. He publishes his books in cheap paperback format so everyone can afford them. If he published fine quality hard-bound books, I'd buy them all again!

Insightful and interesting, a complete guide for anyone interested in herbs and their health implications.

God knows best!!

I love this book. It is my "go to" for info about what herbs are used for, when to harvest, what parts to use, how to harvest and contraindications. That doesn't even take into account the explicit instructions on how to make all the herbs into usable products. I prefer tinctures and it describes in detail how to make them for each herb, or why a herb should be processed differently. I have purchased this book 4 times. Two for each of my daughter's, and 2 for me. I used my first one so much I had to use a rubber band to hold it together. The 2nd one I had bound. I now have a small library of herbal books, but this is definitely the one I use the most.

I'm a big fan of Strictly Medicinal Seeds. I'm also a big fan of Richo. If you're just beginning, or are diving deeper into your journey, I highly recommend all of his books.

So far I like the book. I find it easy to read and I like the stories throughout. At some point in the printing process some pages folded and some pages are cut funky too. It was a fabulous surprise to find the author had signed it ^.^

The copy I received was PERSONALLY signed by the author! I didn't even ask for that but it was thrilling to see it, and upon reading the first chapter "Granny and the Lunar Eclipse," I am hooked and enchanted. I bought the book because in my herbal studies this book is quoted a lot from master herbalists. I thought I would be getting an herbal instructional, which it is that, but so much more! The anecdotal stories are the most fun part of this book. I am reading it with a nice cup of tea, as well as a highlighter.

A woven tapestry of this family's journey within the world of healing herbs, Making Plant Medicine had me hooked from page one. It is one of the few books on the subject of herbal medicine that I have read cover to cover. It is so much more than just the recipes and "how-to" books. Richo Cech has created a world of healing that goes supersedes just the surface of how herbal medicine works. He explains the essence of the herb, how it grows, the various parts, as he travels through his own experiences with plant medicine. This is a superb book, not only for the novice , but also the experienced herbalist. The book goes into great detail, explaining alcohol ratios for making tinctures and extracts, as well as ratios of the fresh or dried plant menstruum and which is the best to use per desired outcome. He also shares a brief synopsis of each plant. Each recipe I have tried has turned out to be perfection. I am eager to order Cech's entire series on herbs. I find his writing style easy to read and personality of his stories delightful..
