With just a few trips to the health-food store, the supermarket, or your own backyard--and with the help of Dr. Duke--you'll have everything you need to create your own Natural Medicine Cabinet. |
Amazon.com Review
There's still a lot to learn about the healing power of plants, James Duke points out, but what we do know is already prodigious. Much of that knowledge is gathered in The Green Pharmacy, an A-to-Z guide to that relies on plant-based medicines to cure what ails us. Between the listings, Duke crams personal anecdotes from a lifetime of studying herbs, berries, and bark. For example, he relates how he worried about telling a pregnant niece that ginger could help alleviate her morning sickness because he'd learned from a pharmacologist that ginger could also induce miscarriage. Then he solved the mystery: he'd recommended ginger tea, which contains about 250 milligrams of ginger. The Chinese, he learned, use about 80 times that much to end pregnancies--another testimony to the amazing versatility of these natural medicines. |

great book by C. Price 5 Stars
May 19, 2009
This book is full of both great information and Dr. Duke's personal stories. He hasn't just studied these things, he's also experienced the healing power of plants. I had checked this book out from the library and liked it so much that I decided it needed to be part of my home reference library. Getting a used copy was a good way to have such a helpful book without having to spend a lot of money.

We felt calm and peaceful. We felt alive. Rejuvenated. Young.
