I purchased this book more than a decade ago and still refer to it. The detail herbal information has been complied so carefully and is easy to follow. In a world where Google is most people's doctor, I'm still happy to return to my bookshelf to read this one. I found it invaluable in clinical practice.

Although getting a little dated, this book still provides a wealth of information on various plants used in Western Herbal Medicine. I'm looking forward to the next edition.
