Customer Reviews

This is the book I've been waiting for.

The direction I needed to take in this new frontier

An excellent primary reference for health practitioners.

Clear and concise treatments and monographs for medicinal herbs. An invaluable reference for pharmacists, physicians, and other health care practitioners entering this exciting field of complementary therapies.

A deceptively important book

Steven Ottariano's Medicinal Herbal Therapy breaks new ground in terms of clarity, insight and the accessible delivery of information about the healing benefits of natural herbs. Written by a practicing clinical pharmacist, Medicinal Herbal Therapy provides an easy-to-read perspective on how and when natural medications can augment or sometimes replace modern synthetic preparations that are often prescribed by physicians either out of habit or as a result of a lack of knowledge. Anyone searching for information about herbal cures will find the information they desire--and more--in Medicinal Herbal Therapy. The book's organization makes it easy to use. Part One, "What Ails You?" is alphabetically arranged to help you locate herbs by the symptoms they cure. Part Two, "The Healing Herbs" alphabetically lists herbs and the ailments they cure.

Straight forward, to the point!

Very valuable information, succinctly presented. Also very useful for physicians, who might want to know a little more about Phytotherapy.
