Excellent Medical Review of Herbs

The book is well written, easy to read, and it identifies what has been learned through repeatable scientific means about many herbal substances. In each case the active ingredients are identified, how they work within the body, and what they can be expected to do or not do. Suggestions about dosages are also given, as well as warnings when the substances have been shown to have negative side effects. He presents no axe to grind, does not attack anyone, but only presents the results of medical research into herbs in a clearly accessible format. The book has plenty of references for additional reading, and I found it to be excellent.

The Best no-nonsense book on Herbals

So much bullshit about the use and effectiveness of herbal remedies exists that it's wonder how any sane person can use herbs as self-medication. This is probably the only book that offers a researched summary on the scientific studies into herbs and their effects. Well referenced, easy to read (even to a layman like myself) and debunks so many myths that most herb fans will be surprised. If you buy this, be sure to get the updated 1995
