Giveaway Monday – Rosemary Gladstar’s Medicinal Herbs: A Beginner’s Guide
This week I am excited to announce the giveaway of a signed copy of Rosemary Gladstar’s new book Medicinal Herbs: A Beginner’s Guide!
This book is a wonderful starter book for anyone starting out with herbs, even kids and teens! The book is broken down into 4 chapters. The first chapter covers what medicinal herbs are, how they are used, what the benefits of herbal medicine are and starting your own herbal garden.
Chapter two dives into making herbal remedies. She covers what you’ll need to set up your own home pharmacy, the importance of labeling and how to make a variety of remedies including syrups, tinctures, herbal pills, bath items and salves.
The third chapter begins teaching you about herbs beginning with 9 familiar herbs and spices found in your kitchen. She talks about how to grow them and use them and offers recipes for each of the 9 herbs.
In the final chapter she expands the herbal learning into 24 easy to find and safe to use herbs including this month’s herb here at Herbal Roots zine: Oats.
Rosemary was one of my first formal teachers. Being in the midwest, I was unable to attend any formal training on location as there were no herbalists in my area and I did not have the ability to relocate. I discovered Rosemary’s home correspondence course and took it after several years of trying to learn about herbal medicine on my own (before the advent of the internet and all the wonderful resources that are now at our fingertips). Rosemary’s books and teachings are all down to earth, easy to understand and make learning about herbal medicine fun and engaging. My bookshelves are home to many of her books, including this one which my 14 year old daughter loves!
Rosemary Gladstar is a pioneer in the herbal movement and has been called the ‘godmother of American Herbalism’. She began over 35 years ago developing herbal formulas in her herb shop, Rosemary’s Garden in Sonoma County, California. She is the founder of the California School of Herbal Studies, the oldest running herb school in the United States, author of The Science and Art of Herbalism home study course, and is the organizer of the International Herb Symposium and The New England Women’s Herbal Conference held annually in NE. She is the author of numerous herb books including the best seller Herbal Healing for Women, The Storey Book Herbal Healing Series, Herbal Remedies for Vibrant Health, and the Science and Art of Herbalism, an extensive home study course. Rosemary is also the co-founder of Traditional Medicinal Tea Company and did all of the original formulations for the company. She has taught extensively throughout the United States and worldwide at venues as varied as backyard gardens, native villages, garden clubs to universities and hospitals. She has won numerous awards and certificates for her work with medicinal plants, but her greatest reward has been in watching the herbal renaissance soar from its birth and feeling in some small exciting way, a part of it.
Her greatest passion has been the work of United Plant Savers, a non profit organization that Rosemary founded in 1994 and is currently president of. UpS is dedicated to the conservation and cultivation of at risk North American medicinal plants and to preserving botanical sanctuaries across the U.S. to help preserve the land that these precious native species thrive on.
Rosemary lives and works from her home, Sage Mountain Herbal Retreat Center, a 500 acre botanical preserve in central Vermont.

Congratulations to Marcela! Her name was selected to win the Oats pendant.
Thanks for the giveaway!! Herbal medicine is so important in our family. We love how in tune with our bodies and each other we are when we look for natural and time tested ways to heal ourselves!
I have a lot of respect for Rosemary Gladstar and am currently working on her herb course that I ordered some time ago. I’m already learning so much, and I’ve barely dug in…
I would love this book!!!
Wow! what a wonderful giveaway! That would be an awesome addition to our homeschool library.
I also shared this on my FB page (Alisha Johnson)
We’ve started Echinacea in our garden from plants we got from a fellow healer.
This is so exciting! Thanks for offering this up, I know it is a great resource– we are looking at books to use for this part of our homeschool curriculum this upcoming year!
It’s hard to pick my favorite book by her. I probably still use Family Herbal the most. But I’d love a copy of her new book. I’d have read it myself first but would pass it on to my younger sister. Great giveaway!
I tweeted it too. https://twitter.com/cmckane/status/222461833422966784
I have every other one of Rosemary’s books but not this one! Thanks!
Yes, I would love this book!

Thanks for the opportunity to win this wonderful book!! I love Rosemary Gladstar’s work!
I am 8 but like learning about herbs! I would be interested in winning this book!
I would love to go through this book with my boyfriend’s mother. She is a gardener, and so is my mother, and both have inspired me to work on one of my own. We are all trying to slowly grow our own natural foods and also use plants and herbs to create our own products and home remedies, herbs, and more.
I posted a Facebook post on the book and the giveaway here: https://www.facebook.com/Wildcherrycola

My very well loved and well used Herbal Recipes for Vibrant Health book, by Rosemary, would love to be joined by Medicinal Herbs! A great deal of what I know about herbs I have learned from Rosemary. She is by far one of the best! xxx

Rosemary Gladstar is an Inspiration!!!!
I need someone to hold my hand as work through too much information at once. This book sounds perfect. It would also be great for our family homeschool. Thank you for offering the giveaway!
Thank you for the giveaway! I tried to plant echinacea last year, but I have something of a black thumb, and it didn’t ever come up. The only herb in my garden right now is lavender. That list gives me some great ideas, though!
I am also following you on Twitter. (@titus2homemaker)
Love this giveaway!
I am currently studying Rosemary’s “the Art & Science of Herbology” course. I love her stories & connection with the plants. She has inspired me to join United Plant Savers, as well. I would love to add this book to my Herbal library. Green Blessings !
I’ve been wanting to study herbs and since I have a lot of time on my hands, I’m looking into self studying (because I definitely can’t afford to take online classes)!
Thank you both for this incredible opportunity
To win a copy of a book from Rosemary would truly be a blessing..I am now single and struggling to make ends meet and financially can not afford any new books but have a huge list and hers are all on that list..Keeping toes, fingers and legs crossed

I love Rosemary and her books! I was blessed to meet and speak with her a couple of years ago. Such a wealth of knowledge!
Rosemary Gladstar is one of the top herbalists ever and I was so fortunate to be able to interview her and four others for an issue of Herb Quarterly magazine a few years back. I greatly admire her and all the work she has done as well as her passion for endangered herbs!
My 7 y.o. daughter and I have been enjoying herbal roots (and the Gallagher’s Herb Fairies too). We have been collecting and using lots of “weeds” from our yard and local area. Thanks for being out there!

Hello; I just love herbs period. Reading and raising them. Two years ago I purchased an 16.3 acre farm with a 21 hundred sq foot house and a small 3 stall barn on the back pf the property. It has 2 springs one one creek on the back pf it also. So the first thing I did. was planted 4 pecan trees. Then my garden which has 60 german pink tomatoes garlic, three rosemary, one basil and thyme and oregano and two lovbage plants. I love all of your books and hope to our base them soon. I was in a bad auto accident, a lady ran a red light and now I have 3 hernia disc along with stenocias. Brain injuries. all my short term is gone. now being ad used to take flax seed, eat red salmons every day. take ginning liquids in a capsule. These items will generate brain cells. was advised will regain short term back but these 3 this.gs daily will regernate new brain cells. i’m opened for any advise. ok. Also now I have white spots on the brain which causes migraine headaches. everyday. I even wake up with them. But then I have to calm myself down. I had lots of wonderful lave der growing in herb garden but one of my neighbors complained. If only she had cared how long it takes to grow. Biy guess what when I recover I will be moving and I want have to listen to anyone. Then I can plant many herbs and flowers for my 14 bee houses. thank you, Pamela Farmer
Would love to use this in our home! Thanks!
This book is on my never-ending book wish list! I’d love to snag a copy.
oh just wanted to make a couple of corrections. im taking liquid pinko. And I was told that I will not ever regain my short term memory but with taking ginkgo, liquid flaxseed and eating red salmon every day that I would regenerate new brain cells. But the only hard part yo tha is I work 3 hours away from home round trip and we don’t have a cafeteria so its tiff planning and preparing the next days meals. Even though I have 30 years with the company im single and cannot afford to retire. I wanted to have an Organic Farm.
I would love to have this book!!

What a wonderful giveaway!!
Thank you for this opportunity. I am just beginning to learn about herbs and so are my kids thanks to Herb Fairies and Herbal Roots Zine. Blessings!
I’m nursing along a tiny patch of Goldenseal that UPS graciously sent to me last year and I’m hoping it survives. My most delightful find in my garden this year is 2 St. John’s wort plants that I have no idea where they came from. Being in my garden is my biggest passion; growing our own herbals is my heart’s calling.
Hi,
excited about this giveaway. We just bought a new home and I’m excited about being able to plant my very first herb garden. i think this book would definitely be a plus in my library.
I’d love this book to add to my collection…I grew up with my mom using some herbs for healing, but I need more instruction:)
Hi I’m Finn and I’m 10 years old. I love herbs! Every other Tuesday I have a herb class. The people in my class and I use your zines to learn about different herbs. We have made a lot of the recipes for herb tinctures. My favorite project was candied ginger! My favorite thing about Herbal Roots is learning about new herbs and naming the herbal spirits. Thank you! Finn

I own one book from Rosemary Gladstar. I have used that for so many healing answers. I love the book. I have so much respect for Rosemary. I am always looking to add to my collection of herbal books.
I LOVE Rosemary! Here in Albuquerque, New Mexico, we started a Gladstar Herbal Group and we are all doing her correspondence course together. We meet twice a month – once for book study & once for ‘Lab work”. We are having a BLAST! I think EVERYONE should take her course!
So, thanks so much for the opportunity to “share”. I’ve been a fan on FB since the page was first set up. Our group has our own page that we affectionately call The Gladstar Herb Group. Happy Herbing to you all!
Tami

I would love this book. I have been trying to teach myself about herbal medicines since I can’t afford the formal classes. Luckily I learn well from reading and walking the woods looking to identify the plants from the photos, illustrations and descriptions.
How generous of you to offer this book. This would be a great addition to anyone’s herbal library.
Anything by Rosemary is wonderful!

Herbal wisdom. A long time ago, one of her students made my son a tonic
That helped his alopecia grow back. I am now in the process of gathering

I have two girls I’d like to teach also. This looks like the perfect book to start of my library of herbal lore!
Wow, so many entries! Rosemary is such an inspiration! I’m so glad she has a new offering, and especially this one. It isn’t easy to recommend many books to beginners as so many can be overwhelming, or worse, just aren’t that good. Thanks for the giveaway, and keep doing your good work!
Shared both on my personal and Sacred Journey Healing Arts Facebook pages.
I’m growing black cohosh, blood root, and echinacea. Still working to amend soil where I am, but hope to add blue cohosh and goldenseal soon. I will be adding tiger lily this year to try instead of false unicorn root for fertility per David Winston’s recommendation.

How cool! Rosemary is such a gentle soul with so much knowledge to share. Thanks for the giveaway

Rosemary Gladstar is one of my heroes. I would love to win this book.
Funny thing is, I didn’t realize this was a new book since I was trolling around on our public libraries website and found it. Just got it yesterday and started reading it. Loving it so far! She has a really clear way of teaching- I look forward to reading more of her books. I don’t have any at-risk plants growing in my yard, though I ‘d like to grow both Echinacea and goldenseal. Found some trillium on a friends property-what a beautiful and unique flower!!
We already owe so much to Rosemary Gladstar in our family. Thanks for offering such a wonderful giveaway!
I love Rosemary. When I was going to school to become a certified herbalist, we used a lot of her material. She really knows her stuff.
So excited! I can add this to my collection! THANK YOU for all you do! Many bright and beautiful blessings!
This book would not only be useful to me, but our family since we homeschool and study botany almost daily!
We would really like to get into growing our own herbs, and perhaps using them as a natural way of healing ailments. Thank you for the review!

I adore Rosemary’s work, and have been using her face cream recipe for the past year.
I am very new to the herbal medicine world but I can tell you that I am SOLD. Just this past weekend I was struck with a tonsil infection and I searched on the net for a natural cure and 3-4 extracts of magic plants and I am a REALLY happy camper once again.
I have been using some plant medicine for a little while but the vastness of medicines that Pachamama provides for us is endless.Thank you Mother Earth!
And thank you!
I’ve recently (finally) been diagnosed with chronic Lyme disease + coinfections. I am on journey of healing, started with Western practices and am slowly working toward and integrating complementally alternative medicines. Gardening has been a passion of mine, but have been too sick to enjoy. This spring I was finally able to plant a wee small herb garden. I would love to know how to steer toward planting and using beneficial plants for recovery and health. Thank you for doing this. This is first I have heard of Rosemary. I hope to find any of her publications at our library. Thanks, Martha.
love Rosemary’s books! And my kids and I have been enjoying your Herbal Zines as part of the Herb Fairies downloads. Thanks for the giveaway!
My 12 year old son is so interested in learning more about herbs at the moment and I would love nothing better than to have a good resource like this for him to look at …. he is reading all my back issues of herbal magazines. Got fan the flame while it there.
I would love a copy! I am a passionate home schooler of four, and a holistic nutritionist earning my Master Herbalist to fulfill my dream of calling myself an ethnobotantist.
I shared this for my followers on my Facebook farmerchick page, as well as my group Farmerchick’s Nutrition and Wellness.
I would love the opportunity to learn more and more about healing herbs! Thank you for the opportunity!!
I’ve been wanting to learn more about this topic!!
This is the kind of information they should be teaching in public schools! Thank goodness plant knowledge hasn’t been lost in this robot world.
