A Complete Guide to 180 Healing Herbs-- From America's Favorite
Herbalist
In this handy companion to his best-selling book, The Green Pharmacy,
leading herbal authority James A. Duke, Ph.D., delivers the lowdown on
virtually every healing herb available in today's marketplace: its
description and history, therapeutic uses, medicinal properties,
prescription counterparts, dosage options, safety and effectiveness
rating, and precautions.
Dr. Duke's inimitable folksy tone and friendly manner shine throughout
The Green Pharmacy Herbal Handbook, making it as entertaining to read
as it is practical. The most thorough and comprehensive herb reference
of its kind, the handbook was culled from the thousands of entries in
Dr. Duke's database of the world's medicinal plants. The database, which
he began during his career as a top botanist with the USDA, is a
lifelong project for Dr. Duke and has become a major reference resource
for herbalists worldwide.
