asked by janmueller on October 31, 2006 7:19 PM
The popularity of herbal medicine has exploded during the past decade, with herbal remedies becoming increasingly available in such conventional outlets as drugstores and even supermarkets. Prescription for Herbal Healing brings to herbal medicine the same in-depth, easy-to-understand information and accessible style that Prescription for Nutritional Healing successfully brought to diet and nutritional supplements.
This book is divided into three parts for easy reference. Part I discusses the basic principles of herbal medicine and outlines the properties and characteristics of some one hundred sixty single herbs and sixty herbal combination formulas. Part II describes more than one hundred fifty common disorders, conveniently arranged in alphabetical order from acne to yeast infection, and names the herbal therapies that can be used in the treatment of those conditions. Part III is a guide to using various kinds of herbal and other alternative therapies. In addition, it includes self-diagnostic tests and boxed insets throughout, which offer detailed information on a wide variety of topics.
Complete coverage of Chinese and Ayurvedic herbs make this volume entirely comprehensive, and thorough scientific references lend it an authority not found in any other herbal book. Prescription for Herbal Healing is the definitive herbal resource and is a necessity for any health-conscious consumer.

There are not many things left in this world that give you MORE return on your money than you pay for. Both this book and it's companion, Prescription for Nuitritional Healing are worth their weight in GAS! I know the old standard was gold.. but Gas is worth more now. All kidding aside, I've kept both books close by since the day I purchased them. And Reccomend both books to anyone with ailments that require expensive medications. They just may surprise you!

I like the author's information, but do NOT like the way she organized it alphabetically by disease. I want to read about herbs when they are listed by themselves alphabetically. I'd like reference to be made to "all herbs that contribute to immune boosting" or "all herbs that help the body fight fatigue" also. I don't want to read about every disease in the book just to find out which properties an herb might have. I dislike the organization of this particular book.
