A Guide to Understanding Herbal Medicines and Surviving the Coming Pharmaceutical Monopoly

I am a holistic health practitioner so it is in my library as books I refer to if I am looking for herbs to help a client.

This book should be in everyone's library - health professionals and lay people alike. I will be recommending this book to my colleagues and my patients.I am amazed to see how much information Dr. Farley and T Bollinger were able to include in this 100-page volume. It is both easy to read and attractively designed. It contains enough up-to-date scientific information on the pharmacology of the herbs covered to be a valuable resource not only for the public but also for the herbalists and other health professionals.In it you will find information on the active constituents of medicinal herbs, their medical effects, how to grow, harvest and prepare the herbs and how to combine them to safely treat common ailments.The authors did a great job - Definitely recommend this book as a valuable addition to your library A Guide to Understanding Herbal Medicines and Surviving the Coming Pharmaceutical Monopoly

This purchase proved you should not buy anything " on a whim ! ". It would be a great publication for High School Cooking Class 101 ( If they even offer it anymore ? ). I guess a kitchen reference tool now...

Starting to research medicinal plants and this book is full of great, researched information. Found out about it by listening to a YouTube video by the author.

Wish it had more practical application information, but a wealth of info on all the great things the Almighty built into this little planet of ours!

Good information.

not for the novice....for myself, it was a good addition to my other herb books.

When I seen the author on Dr.OZ and listened to the description of the book I thought it would be very informative so I ordered the book from Amazon. When I seen the price at 29.97 I thought it a bit pricey but I felt if the information was there it would be worth it. I recieved the paperback version of the book and it has 100 pages not in numerical order for the most part. Pages go from 20 to 30 to 40 back to 20 something. It is like who every put it together assembled it wrong. The author also spends alot of time talking about the goverment and big pharma, now I do agree on some of their opinions they wasted alot of the pages on this.I was dissapointed in the overall content of the work and think it is not worth the 30.00 price tag.

If the world ever comes to an end - this book is a must. Even if you just want to make our own medicines, this is a great book. It logically goes through herbs and plants and lists ailments and how to 'cure' them by the use of natural herbs and plants. Very informative.

This is a very comprehensive book on herbs. It explains their medicinal value in easy terms and has good references on the different herbs and how they can help with many ailments. I would certainly recommend this book, as it is the best book on herbs that I have, so far.

Excellent. Will use for reference for years to come.

Great info to have on hand!

good
