My go-to reference is "The Encyclopedia of Natural Medicine" by Dr. Michael Murray N.D. It is massive, over 1100 pages, with 150+ pages of references. I have other books by Dr. Murray also, but this one is the most comprehensive.
I loved the 1990's Balch's book and lived with that bible. Now the internet serves me. No more book buying. I'm now concentrating on Solomon's Seal which I've posted about in the Supplement area here. Gotta get myself walking better after the body has been so messed with OA and the hip surgery and then knee mess. Talk about some complexities.
Do you have reference book, or textbook, recommendations for any alternative methods?
Here are a few that have been useful to me:
Medical Herbalism: The Science and Practice of Herbal Medicine, David Hoffman
Encyclopedia of Herbal Medicine, Andrew Chevalier
The Green Pharmacy, James A. Duke
The Green Pharmacy Guide to Healing Foods, James A. Duke
Herbs, An Illustrated Encyclopedia, Kathi Keville
Herbs for Health and Healing, Kathi Keville
Herbal Medicine, Dian Dincin Buchman
The Complete Book of Essential Oils & Aromatherapy, Valerie Ann Worwood
The Encyclopedia of Essential Oils, Julia Lawless
I find most of my information online, but I did invest in a Nutritional Almanac by Lavon J. Dunne, 5th edition. Snagged it for 3 bucks on ebay and it's like new. They had several from a library I guess, to sell. I do like being able to use a hard-copy once in awhile if I'm just tired of staring at a screen.
I started this thread because the books contain a lot of information that you won't find online, especially for herbal medicine. I use both books and internet resources. One doesn't replace the other.

That's great to know, does one of your books tell when to take Apple Cider Vinegar so you don't wash away any vitamin supplements?? Because I sure can't find the answer online

Personally I don't think it will wash away any vitamins. But I would give a hour between takes. I take supps at various times of the day, some are best on empty stomach and some on food. So I would take the ACV in the mid time. How many times daily are you taking ACV and I suppose in water right. I've read best to take it 3 times daily but I never got to that. Hopefully someone else can be more definite on this.

I just take it once a day, but heard it was really good to start your day with it so I take it with about 6-8 oz of water Jamin. But I'm not finding if I should even have my coffee/chicory right away, which I always want that first, LOL! I guess it's a lot of trial, and maybe error. I have read that some folks do take it more often, I just figure I'll see how this goes. Same with my other supplements since I wasn't on any before the 8th of this month. Just thought I was eating well enough but my bloodwork showed a few things were out of wack
