I have friends who've been fortunate enough to stave off anything from heatstroke & dehydration to anaphylactic shock (from insect sting) thanks to this book.It's NOT an herbal. There's not much for theory here -- and that's its strength, which sets it apart from everything else. The topic is pretty much confined to what you need to do, and the handful of items you ought to be carrying with you.No long discourses to plow through, which just might save your life in an emergency. Whether you're into rafting or cycling, or NASCAR events, "20 Herbs" could be the best few dollars you've ever spent, and should be the first thing you pack when you leave the house.
