Opinion of herbal healing books:
Herbal healing books run the full gamut from remedies based on anecdotal evidence to remedies that have been subjected to some level of scientific testing. As with anything else, you would be well advised to check the credibility of the sources used.
I would suggest buying this book, read through it, maybe pick some plants from there. It's pretty good about giving you a little history about the plant, the actual known mechanisms for its function, and being entertaining and readable (in my opinion) to boot!
