Over the Christmas holiday I finished reading another book on my required reading list for my Master Clinical Herbalist Course. Herbal Recipes for Vibrant Health, Written By: Rosemary Gladstar. I found this book to be an easy read because of the story that unfolds on each page. Rosemary is a very well respected herbalist who has spent her entire life on a journey to understanding the medicinal properties plants have to offer. In this beautiful book she shares pieces of her adventures and what she learned from them. Included are herbal formulas that she has created as well as recipes from other herbalists. Each chapter explains helpful remedies for different body systems and stages of life. I was especially intrigued by the sections on herbalism for men and the elderly. Rosemary expresses her concern for the lack of herbal texts in the world for men and the elderly and I have to agree with her, as I have not seen many books specifically for these two subjects either over the years. I am looking forward to reading more of Rosemary Gladstar’s books and trying her trusted herbal formulas.
