Customer Reviews

Good reference!

Huge book with lots of good info on almost every subject. The shortfall is there is too little on each subject, but you would probably need a whole set of books. What is nice is that you can get a quick overview when sometimes it takes takes too long to sort through google ads and sales ads for a medical treatment on the internet. Also, it is good to know of other herbal remedies that you might not know about.

The Natural Pharmacy

Wonderful resource. Give me and my patients excellent guidance. Well written and easy to understand. Has good back up for both traditional and alternative health care. Would recommend this book to anyone.

Excellent Resource

I saw this book in a local health food store and thought that it looked like a great resource. I have only had it a short time and can already tell it is going to be used alot. I work in a middle school clinic and I have already used it for information for co-workers as well as a parent who needed advice in treating her children. I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in learning more about herbs/alternative medicine,etc.

Pleased

I found the book to be an excellent source of information. I appreciated the fact that research was cited in the book so that a person could find the actual research if they chose to do so.

Excellent Resource

Reading multiple books and websites about diet, herbs, and nutritional supplements can be overwhelming. I'm fairly new to alternative medicine and supplements, so I was delighted to find a comprehensive book called The Natural Pharmacy at my local bookstore. This book is a well-researched compilation of the latest in natural health. I'd much rather use a resource such as this one than spend hours wading through books and websites every time I have a health concern. The editor of The Natural Pharmacy, Dr. Alan Gaby, is past President of the American Holistic Medical Association. I own the 3rd Edition which was published in 2006, so I am assured that the book is up-to-date as well as accurate. The content is clear, concise, and well-written, making the information accessible to readers without backgrounds in healthcare. The Natural Pharmacy is divided into three main sections: health concerns, nutritional supplements, and herbs. Serious health conditions such as breast cancer and heart problems are discussed in the book as well as minor conditions like eczema and the common cold. When I have a health concern, I check the first section for recommended herbs, supplements, and dietary changes. Those who are looking for detailed information and research on specific herbs, vitamins, and minerals would find that info in the latter sections. The book is extremely well-organized and easy to navigate, complete with cross-references that are found throughout the book. The Natural Pharmacy is an excellent book that has been well-researched. I highly recommend this valuable resource to anyone who is interested in a more natural approach to healthcare.
