I give this book 10 out of 10 acorns.

This is the first of a three-part eBook series based on Dr. Sharol's Herbal Medicine From The Heart of The Earth. This one, Herbal Formulas, is packed with an amazing amount of information. It is divided into the following sections.

"Introduction to making herbal formulas" provides guidelines on how to use single herbs and how to use herbs in combination as formulas. Discusses complimentary and contradictory interactions of herbs, explaining the chief herbal actions and properties of herbs.

"How to begin to make an herbal formula" discusses knowing who or what we are treating, the elements of an herbal formula, how to choose the best herbs, things to know about combining herbs, understanding preparation format and how to choose the best one, how to make them taste better, and how to tweak your formula.

"Types of Herbal Formulas" covers three main types of formulas, formulating for an individual, targeting systems and health conditions, and considering causative factors.

"Let's Make a Formula" discusses equipment and amounts to use.

"Formulas for Specific Health Conditions" contains an extensive list of health conditions with suggestions and links to recipes for pre-made formulas.

"Herbal Formulas By Body Systems" covers herbal recipes for the digestive system, adrenals and HTP-Axis, thyroid gland, blood sugar maintenance, eyes, ears, nose, & throat, heart & circulatory, immune system, liver, lymphatic system, musculoskeletal, nervous system, reproductive tract, respiratory system, skin, and urinary tract.

The final sections of the book include tips on dosing and the properties and actions of herbs.

I always thought it sounded corny to say a book is a "must have" or a "must read," but anyone seriously interested in herbal medicine will find this book invaluable. It's so much more than lists of symptoms and herbs to take. This book aims to teach the reader not only how to understand how to use herbal formulas, but also how to develop their own formulas. Highly recommended.
