Customer Reviews

Excellent and concise reference for common herbal remedies

As a family practitioner with an interest in integrative, complementary, and alternative medicine, this book provides a well-researched and logical approach to prescribing herbal remedies for common ailments. Herbs are indexed by common and scientific plant names, indications, contraindications, and potential medication interactions allowing quick access to whatever you are looking for. Dr. Johnson has been thorough in his research, and I am confident in making recommendations based on his work. The book also provides a rating system based on the level of human trial scientific research (from anecdoctal to randomized controlled trial) backing the principal indications for each herb. This book is a must have for those interested in herbal remedies.
