A Must Have in Herbal Medicine

I first came across this book in the pharmacy where I work. The collection of sheer data in it is tremendous; there is information in this book that is almost impossible to find in any other herbal (including information on clinical trials and interactions). Most of the medical reference books that we use cost well over a hundred dollars and are not user friendly. Not so with this book. The only reasons that I didn't give it 5 stars are 1) this book is not illustrated, and 2)the book assumes you have access to a high quality herbal product, which is not always the case with herbal medicine.Any serious herbalist should include this book in a reference library.

Compresive Database for Natural Medicines

Wonderful and comprehensive database for anyone interested in natural/herbal medicines - includes dosage, allopathic drug interactions, side effects, food interactions etc. More complete than the "PDR for herbal medicines". Pro for PDR is that it has colored pictures of the herbs in the natural state. PDR, however, does not have homeopathic dosing and the "Database" does (but it is not a repetory). A good adjunct to Textbook of Natural Medicine. Also important for healthcare providers who have clients that use natural medicines and need to know interactions between what is being prescribed and what is already being used.

Best reference on herbs aand supplements

I have looked at a lot of references on natural medicines, and this one is by far the best. This book is laid out like a huge chart. It's over 1000 pages. For all the different herbals, and vitamins, and supplements this database shows all sorts of other names, uses, side effects, cautions, interactions. A lot of herbs can interact with drugs and this information is in here. It has brand names and ingredients. It covers all the herbs and vitamins and minerals and supplements. Everything I've looked for has been in it. The book is put together by a large group of pharmacists and physicians. They are very scientific, and they list thousands of medical references where the information comes from. I like the fact that the various products are rated. The book tells what's effective and what is safe, and gives ratings for these. It shows which prescription drugs cause the body to become deficient in certian nutrients. It also says what's safe to use during preganancy. My doctor says this is the best source of scientific information available on this subject. If you want a good scientific reference this is the one to get. Inside the book there's the address of the book's private website that is terrific. There are also charts of interactions and charts showing which supplements work for certain conditions.
