Good introduction for laypersons by A Reader (Near the Beach USA)  3 Stars
June 25, 2006
"Principles and Practice of Phytotherapy" is a good general introduction to herbal medicine for laypersons looking to incorporate herbs into their family's healthcare. The authors have concocted a rather obtuse "philosophy" of herbal medicine in an attempt to appropriate and justify the philosophies behind all schools of traditional herbalism. Otherwise this text is straightforward and simple to use. Includes information on 45 useful herbs, a managable amount of information for laypersons just starting out in herbalism.
Physicians, nurse practitioners and other health care professionals with an interest in phytotherapy will find "Herbal Medicine" by Weiss and Fintelman or "Rational Phytothrapy" by Schulz, et al more useful for practice.

Herbology Course Text by B. Baca, Ph.D. 5 Stars
December 31, 2004
Excellent text in use for my adult/graduate classes (including on-line) in herbology. Adequate focus (almost half the text) on history, background, and clinical guides before getting into Materia Medica (full monographs of 45 herbs; I chose 22 of these as class examples). Contains extensive references unmatched in other similar texts. Has useful indexes although text could use a glossary for the numerous medical terms (some not common in U.S. practice). Some important herbs are mentioned in the clinical use guides (e.g., garlic, psyllium) but not treated in monographs. Also some herbs treated are not approved by Commission E or other regulatories (may or may not be important). Overall the best we've seen in clinical herbal texts.

This is THE text on contemporary herbal medicine by thylacinery (batmania, australia) 5 Stars
March 20, 2003
Kerry Bone, one of Australia's most eminent herbalists, and Simon Mills, a highly respected practitioner from the UK have joined forces to produce a text that was sorely needed by herbalists and naturopaths everywhere. The information is concise, clear, up-to-date, gives clear scientific explanations for the actions of herbs, while acknowledging traditional usage and folklore. This is not just another coffee table book about herbs - it's the real thing. I have completed five years of formal training in herbal medicine, and this has been the most extraordinary book I've encountered. If you are studying complementary medicine of any modality, I highly recommend you buy it. If you're a student or graduate naturopath or herbalist, it is essential.

Textbook for Natural Health Professionals by LaMar Wiscombe (Spanish Fork, Utah United States) 5 Stars
August 26, 2001
This book is essential for those seiously interested in herbal medicine. The book begins by explaining various therapeutic systems and basic principles of treatment and safety for the health care professional. Plant compounds and their effects on the body are explained in a straight forward manner that helps one understand a subject that is usually quite difficult. The materia medica section (plant monographs) lists 45 herbs and the pertinent information necessary to use them with success and safety. I believe this book is as good as it gets in herbal medicine, I can't wait for more plant monograph information from Mills and Bone.
