Manuchair Ebadi
Praise for the first edition:
“I was impressed by the scope and presentation of the material and
would recommend it to anyone who wanted a good overall introduction
to the pharmacology of herbs and plants”
— Peter L. Bonate, Pharmaceutical Research
praise for the first edition
“…offers a balanced approach that spans the gap between the hype in
many popular herb books and the wariness of most scientific
texts…Very helpful diagrams with charts explaining physiological
actions accompany almost every section.”
— American Herb Association
praise for the first edition
“The author is well qualified to undertake such a challenging and
important task to bridge the knowledge gap for herbal medicines by
providing pharmacodynamic information that is currently available.
…useful for both students of allopathic and traditional
medicine.”
— Grace M. Kuo, PharmD, The Annals of Pharmacology
praise for the first edition
“Ebadi successfully catalogs and describes the most important of
alternative health care practices in use today. … The content is
often part folklore, tradition, or legend in addition to detailed
scientific hypotheses and facts regarding the active constituents
and mechanism(s) of action. One might expect the cover of this book
to become well worn due to the number of people that would browse
its pages. In that regard, the book is recommended for all readers
desiring a general source of information about herbal medications.
All levels.”
— P.W. Baures, Kansas State University, in CHOICE
