The Natural Beauty Book All Women ought to Keep, September 25, 2005

Tanner Griffins (Qu�bec) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Jeanne Rose: Herbal Body Book: The Herbal Way to Natural Beauty & Health for Men & Women (Paperback)

Indeed Jeanne Rose knows her herbal stuff from experience, gathered over more than thirty years as a professional herbalist. The 2000 edition that I got (the one described on this page) is awesome: there's a glossary of herbs, of pharmacology terms, of health conditions that can be helped with herbs. The author provides recipes for making different ointments and mixtures for beauty and health conditions but she also gives in her book enough information for the reader to actually mix up her own ingredients and create an original perfume, or mask or lotion. She knows how to impart her knowledge with generosity. It's a reference book and fun to read as well.

Wonderful book for the herb lover, and the body lover, April 7, 2000

Olivia Winter (Iowa, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Jeanne Rose: Herbal Body Book: The Herbal Way to Natural Beauty & Health for Men & Women (Paperback)

I'm 14 years old, and am just discovering the world of herbs, and ofcosmetics. I found this book very useful in both areas, because of thewonderful descripitons, and the useful, simple recipies. Oh, also, the version I read was the 1976 version (from the library of course) so I imagine that this newly updated copy is even better!

Timeless Information, a Reference Book Every Woman Should Own, October 8, 2011

Leslie Martin "author of Crunchy Betty's Food... (Manitou Springs, CO) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Jeanne Rose: Herbal Body Book: The Herbal Way to Natural Beauty & Health for Men & Women (Paperback)

I was loaned this book by a friend, and he nearly had to pry it out of my cold, dead hands to get it back. Within a day of opening the book, I was so attached to it, I took it with me everywhere - and read it two times through.

This book, while a slight bit dated, combined REALLY old world recipes with newer concepts and is, in my opinion, an absolute necessity for anyone who's interested in creating their own skincare and health products. Its foundation will give you the ability to understand what you're doing, why you're doing it, and exactly how to go about adjusting recipes to make them work FOR YOU.

Moreover, you can seriously feel the heart that went into this book - the love of herbs and nature. It's infectious and refreshing.

Hands down, if anyone were to ask me for a natural beauty and health recipe book recommendation, this would be one of the first three on my list.
