As I have been diving deeper and deeper into the herbal remedy world, I have discovered numerous herbal education books! I was going to wait to share my favorites, as I usually do, but I couldn’t help myself putting together a list of so many recommendations.

 

The amount of herbal educational books available to us these days seems quite overwhelming! Some are geared towards beginners, with just simple herbs and easy-to-process information. Other books are complete encyclopedias of every herb this world has to offer!

 

The first time I went down the library aisle that had all the herbal education books I felt very overwhelmed. I had no idea where to start and honestly didn’t even read the book I ended up choosing to take home.

 

All of us are at different spots when it comes to our knowledge of herbs, which this array of books so helpful. Be sure to do some research on the books before you check them out to make sure they fit your level of herbal education! I put together this list of home herbal remedies books last year that you may want to check out first.

 

I can’t wait to share all these herbal education books with you. Let’s check them out…
