Description:
While most contemporary herb encyclopedias cover about 100 herbs, this book covers a comprehensive 180—each of which has been rated for safety and effectiveness. The herbs are cross-referenced with an index of ailments so readers can quickly locate the herb that works best for a particular health complaint. Dr. Duke clearly lists counter-indications, letting readers know when an herb might conflict with a prescription drug, as well as recommending complementary herb combination. With information on herb forms, benefits, parts used, side effects and specific dosages, this book is an indispensable part of the Dr. Duke collection.
