Excellent book for herbalists - presents SCIENTIFIC evidence

Dr. Tyler is a reputable scientist who has once again discussed and presented scientific data on herbs. Unlike many "herbalists", Dr. Tyler is not biased. Though rather technical, this book is the PERFECT reference for herbalists. In a time of extreme herbalist "quackery" it is refreshing to have such a wonderful reference which is based on scientific evidence. Bravo!

Somewhat technical herb book

This book makes a good reference book for herbalists and people interested in botanicals. Divided into herb sections, the author bases the information on scientific research rather than folk lore which sometimes verifies the the long standing beliefs about particular herbs.
