Summary: Excellent basic reference book
Comment: I agree 100% with the review below. This is a great, basic book for those who want to understand the use of medicinal herbs from a Western scientific perspective. Please be careful to read the warnings carefully, though. Self-medicating with some of these herbs can be exptremely dangerous.

Rating: 5
Summary: Exceptionally detailed, for advanced students of Herbalism.
Comment: Details a wide variety of herbs with their common uses, dangers, and benefits. The most useful parts of each herb are described, as well as methods of extraction and application. While not really a Complete reference for the truly advanced practitioner(such a work would be indeed be massive,) it is useful for the novice, adept, or even the herbalist who studies from a very clinical standpoint(there's a good deal of information here on the active chemicals and types found in herbs.) Some of the more scientific information may leave the average reader a little confused, but the basic herbal knowledge in this work is well worth its cover price.
