DESCRIPTION:
Natural Power of Botanical Medicine If you are a healthcare practitioner and want to offer the best, most recent information to your patients this is a great text. It narrows down the top researched herbs for each body system and also gives historical evidence as to their use as well. Bottom line it removes all confusion and marketing hype and focuses on facts and efficacy. From everything to drug interactions, researched dosages, and studies in comparison to drugs, the text will give you clear evidence on how to advise patients . "I really liked all the information about more specifics on scientific research" according to Lindsey Daniels. I bought this book for a class I was taking. I really liked all the information about more specifics on scientific research supporting herbal use for various medical/ health conditions. This type of information makes it safer and improves efficacy for using herbs. However, the format of the book I really didn't like. It is challenging to use as a reference because so many of the studies referenced are provided in narrative form rather than a table which would make it convenient for quick access. Full of useful information Chapters are long but compact. Tables are very useful and the topic consolidation helps to make the information easy to memories.
It is the definitive practice-oriented introduction - now in its fifth edition - to phytotherapy. The authors are highly experienced in the field of postgraduate medical education, and, with this work, present an indispensable reference book for the medical practice.. All practitioners and pharmacists interested in treatment with herbal remedies should have this book at their disposal. Methodically classified by organic systems and fields of application, the text provides a quick insight into dosage, form of application and effects of the most important herbal remedies. Only those herbal remedies that are of pharmacological and clinical efficiency have been considered
