Herbalist Masé (cofounder, Vermont Ctr. for Integrative Herbalism) presents a detailed, comprehensive account of the history of medicinal plants and their uses. The three classes of wild plants (aromatics, bitters, and tonics) are covered in a clinical manner that may be useful to other herbal educators and clinicians. Masé analyzes each class of wild plants and includes recipes for their everyday use, such as in tinctures, teas, and other preparations. He cites many examples of clinical research; anecdotal examples from ancient times to the present are included as well. Masé quotes, among others, the mythical Irish deity Dian Cecht, Henry David Thoreau, and Virgil, who kept bees and was interested in the curative properties of aromatic plants and lemon balm.
VERDICT An essential title for those interested in alternative medicine, especially for the additional information in the extensive notes and bibliography.
