I give this book 10 out of 10 acorns.

If you interested in a science based resource for medicinal herbs, this is it. It's an absolutely amazing book. I classify it as a reference book rather than a read-through book, although if you are interested in herbs and their uses, you'll find yourself reading and reading.

It is extremely well organized, and each section is to the point. No fluff, just useful information. Sections cover:
- What to Expect From This Book
- How To Use This Book
- Understanding The Herbal Monographs
- Dictionary of Herbal Preparations
- Herbal Materia Medica Monographs A-Z (190 herbs)
- Properties and Actions of Herbs

What's a monograph? It's a detailed and documented description of a particular subject, in this case, 190 medicinal herbs. These descriptions include: medicinal parts of plant used; what taste and smell tell us about the medicinal properties of the herb; the actions the herbs have on our bodies, factors that affect determining a proper dosage and what those doses are; mental, emotional, and physical symptoms that might indicate usage of the herb, scientific evidence or prevailing scientific theories including current research and case studies; specific physical and medical conditions for which it is inadvisable to use an herb (including medications); and photos of the herbs discussed.

Other useful sections include common to Latin names, Latin to common herb names, and the extensive bibliography. "Properties and actions of Herbs" is organized according to 114 categories used to define the properties and actions of herbs. For example, adaptogen, carminative,  demulcent, and nervine. Defines each term and gives a brief list of herbal examples.

I'll add that this is the second part of a three-part series. I suspect parts one and three are just as excellent.

A herbal is a plant or plant part utilised for its aroma, flavour, or therapeutic characteristics is known as a herb. One sort of dietary supplement is herbal medicine. Tablets, capsules, powders, teas, extracts, and fresh or dried plants are all available. Herbal remedies are used by people to try to maintain or improve their health. Many people feel that "natural" items are always safe and beneficial to them. This isn't always the case. Herbal remedies are not subjected to the same rigorous testing as pharmaceuticals. Some herbs, like comfrey and ephedra, can be dangerous. Some plants have the potential to interact with prescription and over-the-counter drugs.

I give this book 10 out of 10 acorns! It's very similar to her Herbal Medicine From the Heart of the Earth by Dr. Sharol Tilgner book. This book is my go-to resource for understanding herbs and dealing with medical issues.

I love, love, LOVE how the information in Dr. Tilgner's books is backed by medical studies. Her books are truly informative, well-organized, and empowering. They are fantastic for people new to herbal medicine, and are a wonderful resource for experienced herbal practitioners. I highly recommend her books!
