Although written for healthcare professionals by two professors of pharmacokinetics, this handy little compendium to botanical medicine has a legitimate place in consumer collections where users expect to find standard pharmacopeias. Easy to use and fully referenced, this handbook lists some 300 herbal remedies; each entry includes generic and common trade names, actions, dosage, adverse reactions, contradictions and precautions, and more. Special logos, like "Alert symbol," "Research findings," "Folklore," etc., enhance the reference's appeal. Copyright 1999 Reed Business Information, Inc.
