What Is The Most Complete Herbal Resource On The Planet?


"What is the most complete herbal resource on the planet?"
LearningHerbs.com is proud to carry..
Herbalpedia: The Ultimate Herbal EncyclopediaHerbalpedia is a comprehensive herbal encyclopedia on cd-rom. 2100 profiles of botanicals are in the current edition in Adobe Acrobat Reader format with a linked Table of Contents in both English and Latin and a search function. The CD can be read by any computer with Acrobat Reader (available as a free download at Adobe) and you can print off specific profiles you want in hard copy. Over 5500 pages of information along with color photos of 98% of the plants!
Uses (medicinal, culinary, cosmetic, aromatherapy, ritual and industrial), cultivation, recipes (culinary and medicinal formulas), history and lore, research, and more!
If you printed out Herbalpedia, it would fill a bookshelf!Herbalpedia IS an encyclopedia. AND, just like any encyclopedia that is extremely huge, you only access it when you need certain information.Say you are working with Lemon Balm; you would JUST look up that herb. If you needed to, you could print out just that part.
Many people ask me, "What is the BEST herbal resource?"Now, that IS a tricky question. There are a lot of GREAT herbal books. However, it is really great to have a place where you know there is going to have information on every herb possible.Most books have a specific topic to teach, such as gardening, making medicine, teaching kids or botany. Herbalpedia is not BETTER than other herb books...it's just DIFFERENT. It's not a book, it's an encyclopedia.So, if you were to ask me what the most COMPREHENSIVE herbal resource was, I'd have to say Herbalpedia.
