With additional sections devoted to the principles of green medicine, the history of Western Herbalism, the variety of other medical modalities using medicinal plants, an extensive resource directory, and a discussion of treatments organized by body system, Medical Herbalism is the comprehensive textbook all students and practitioners of clinical herbalism need to develop their healing practices.
Customer Review: The must book in phytotherapy
Medical Herbalism is a must to have book if you are interested to learn or already work with phytotherapy. I suggest it 100%.
Customer Review: Great Book!
I am so enthralled with this book. I’m using it as a text book…taking notes, etc. I got into medicine because I don’t only want to know “what” but, also “why”. This book brings phytotherapy and mainstream American medicine together and makes herbalism make sense to a practitioner of pharmaceuticals… I love this book!!
