Guide to Using Kitchen Herbs for Health: Quick, Easy Ways to Grow, Eat & Use Herbs Daily

“I am so glad I bought this lovely herb book. There was a wealth of information I didn’t expect, with gems of great value sprinkled generously throughout. I particularly enjoyed the logical, easy-to-read layout and suggested actions to take as I worked my way through. These practical steps helped me re-design my tiny space to utilise the sun and shade to grow more herbs than I thought possible. It’s a read, then ‘go and do’ kind of book. I was really limiting the potential of my indoor and outdoor areas until I learned how to use these spaces more efficiently with good design. Now I understand how to use my unique microclimates to plant a wider variety of culinary and medicinal herbs. The detailed plant profiles had so many interesting tips and I have added many herbs to my Wishlist. I plan to make more of the recipes for herb teas, salt substitutes and remedies as I need them. I will be referring to this helpful resource for many years to come and hopefully my health will benefit as a result. I will be buying more as a gift for friends and family.” – Rosamaree Smith

“This book sets out in a very comprehensive, but uncomplicated way, all one needs to know about planning for, purchasing, setting up, growing, maintaining, harvesting and using herbs for health and in cooking. It is beautifully presented and easy to read. One of my favourite sections was the Suggested Goal List – helping me think, and do, outside that square of using herbs more effectively and efficiently. I also gained a fuller understanding of each plant profile and its needs and uses. It’s well worth the read and an important tool in your garden library.” – Lynn Lewis

“This book is a beautiful distillation of 25 herbs useful for both kitchen and health. Anne Gibson has made it so easy for time-poor or beginner gardeners to have stress-free contact with nature. I thoroughly enjoyed her abundant personal garden wisdom. There are so many tips and practical suggestions. For example, exactly when and how to harvest turmeric and how to rejuvenate ageing thyme plants, that I have never seen elsewhere. As an experienced herb grower, I enjoyed learning numerous interesting new things about my treasured herbs and how to make the most of them for food, first aid and health.” – Beren Coulthard

You CAN take control over your health, and it can be as simple as using fresh or dried kitchen herbs in new ways. A bunch of parsley or basil can also help build your immune system. A headache or indigestion may be eased quickly without rushing to the chemist, by reaching for a herb in a pot instead. I've been living this way for years, seen my own health improve dramatically and share how I personally grow herbs and use them daily.
