This book provides a detailed, practical and, where possible, research-based rationale for the use of herbal treatments in a wide variety of clinical conditions and problems. Through the filter of current scientific literature, the authors have reevaluated traditional use of herbal remedies and present realistic guidelines for modern practice. A uniquely authoritative guide to applying herbal medicines as serious options for the treatment of some of the most troublesome conditions seen today.
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.
