K. J. Doaud has been a practicing herbalist of over twenty years. In practicing herbalism, she had become frustrated with having to cross-reference multiple resources in order to gather all of the necessary information on any one herb or disorder. It was time consuming and easily forgotten once the reason for the research had passed. Herbs for Life takes all of this information from its various locations (books, nutritionists, herbalists, and articles) and compiles it into a comprehensive and easy to follow book so that practitioners have everything they need in one location, formatted in a way that requires no extra research or legwork.
