Joseph VanSeters has over 30 years experience in the herbal field and has studied with many Master Herbalists. He has written numerous magazine and newspaper articles. He and his wife Joan currently reside in St. George, Utah, where they have operated an herb business for the last 20 years. "I'm not a doctor", is the first thing Joseph VanSeters tells people. "I'm a teacher and a writer. These are the things I like to do, teach people and write about herbs." In his writings, stories are told about how people have used herbs and the results they have had. "I tell people a little bit about herbs and they get themselves healthy. I don't make them healthy. All I do is introduce them to herbs."

This book contains interesting stories about herbs, what they may be used for, and practical advice on how to use them.
