Excellent - A bible for expecting moms
Very easy to understand. I was given this book when I was about 6 months pregnate. On first glance I thought "oh no not another hippy, love child herbal book", to my surprise (and 5 hours of not so painful joy in the next 4 months) I thank the gods above for having this book, and the grace to follow the suggestions within. This book also helped with the "pink eye" problem that newborns have, and the other strange little wonderful things that happen to a womans body during and after childbirth. A book written by wise women for wise women!

FROM A MAN'S POINT OF VIEW......
I found this book when my wife and I were first trying to have a baby. It has proven wonderful time in and time out; It contains more insights and knowledge than other books much larger and less well written. Susun's approach seems to be one of intuitive knowledge, rather than merely intelectual smarts, and that serves we readers so much better. Her explanations of tincture, syrup, and salve preparations are the simplest yet most effective I've found. I wish there was a "wise man herbal" out there, well maybe I'll have to write it for all us guys lacking M. Weed's way.A must for every pregnant woman.Realise that every drug is herbal based!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Info packed guide to herbs during and after pregnancy.
I bought this book after I had my baby for the information on herbs and lactation. After reading it, I wish I had heard of it sooner. It is full of information on safe herbs that can be used during pregnancy and a terrific guide on how to prepare them in different ways. The guide alone is worth buying the book. Susun Weed puts everything in a simple, easy way - from beginning to end. Her writing has inspired me to find the wise woman in me. The herbs she writes about aren't uncommon and the recipes aren't complicated. I can't wait for my next pregnancy so I can put this book to better use. It does have good info regarding lactation although I would like more. However, I have had a hard time getting a hold of any at all.
