Praise for Icelandic Herbs And Their Medicinal Uses

  • "Anna Rósa Robertsdottir has not only written one of Iceland's most comprehensive herb books, but has also added to our American herbal resources with this beautifully designed and well laid out book. Each plant is highlighted with gorgeous photos and very clear descriptions. I was delighted to find that though this book was written with Icelandic plants in mind, almost every one of the over 85 plants mentioned are found growing in abundance in North America."--Rosemary Gladstar, author of Rosemary Gladstar's Medicinal Herbs
  • "An excellent book in which Robertsdottir combines a scientific approach with ancient knowledge of Icelandic medicinal herbs. The work is characterized by professional, detailed descriptions of the herbs and their qualities, and is accompanied by many stunningly beautiful photographs. A unique reference guide. This book will become a classic!"--Dr. Jan Triebel, Specialist in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation
