The Scientific Validation of Herbal Medicine

This book presents an alphabelical list of medical ailments, from Arthritis to Weight Loss, and the specific plants, herbs, and minerals that can be used for treatment on these problems.

A Must-Have Herbal Reference

I have studied and used herbs since 1984. I own over 100 books,of all kinds, on herbs yet this is the main book I continue to go to when researching an herbal remedy. I personally use several of the herbal combinations or a modified version of them myself on a daily basis with great success.

Pleasantly surprised by the information

I was pleasantly surprised by the information presented in the book. I purchased it for a quick reference. I quickly found myself reading page after page learning quite a bit about herbal remedies. I would recommend it to any one who is interested in healthy alternatives in addition to medications.

BEST Herbal Medicine book!!!!

This book is FANTASTIC!!! Go look in the pages and check out how they have their index. Most books' indexes you go to look up a word like *asthma* and you get page numbers that you go to and hope it's what you were looking for. In this book you look up asthma in the index and it shows you which herbs and the page numbers! That was worth the price of the book to me! Same with herb listings... you look up the herb and it tells you which ailment it will help and the page number to find it on.Within the book you will find DETAILED explanations on which herbs to use, how much and how to apply them (i.e. gargling, teas, capsules, etc.)This book will be my main herbal medicine book for years to come! Out of all my herbal books this one *by far* is the BEST book on herbal medicine that I have in my library! I HIGHLY recommend it to anyone seeking natural alternatives to health!!

Herbal Medicine

I've studied herbs for years, and have collected many books on the subject, but of them all, Mowreys' book The Scientific Validation of Herbal Medicine holds a pre-eminent place. Well written,intelligently and solidly researched, this book stands head over shoulders above the plethora of herbal books that derive their information mostly from folklore and anecdotal reports. Mowrey's book seperates the "wheat from the chaff". Highly recommended.
