Book Info
Text covers the western herbalist's art of formulating liquids for the individual patient. Describes all the practical issues involved in prescribing and dispensing herbal products and outlines the rationale behind prescribing herbs for a variety of health issues. Also includes current monographs for more than 100 herbs.
Fantastic text for both students and practitioners. The appendices alone are invaluable. The indications listed for each herb are very thorough and as expected from Mr. Kerry Bone, all research claims are referenced.
As a student, I usually find what I am looking for in this book.
