Alphabetical listing of herbs by common name.
James A. Duke
"Of interest to those who involved in the use of herbs in the
medicinal environment…A fine reference work."
—J. Elliot, Southeastern Naturalist, 2002
“…the perfect herbal reference. This is a tall order but it is one
that James A. Duke, Ph.D., et al, filled quite well…describes most
herbs concisely and, in an equally concise manner, evaluates the
scientific research on their use. …The extensive references and
their convenient coding contribute greatly to the overall value of
the new edition…Dr. Duke commented in his introduction that he
meant to create a resource to parallel the PDR® for Herbal
Medicine. In fact, this updated handbook accomplishes much more.
There is no other modern desk reference that combines such a
comprehensive materia medica with as much scientific source
material. …the botanical reference that most practitioners have
been looking for and it comes highly recommended by this
practitioner.”
— Kathy Abascal, B.S., J.D., Herbalist, Alternative and
Complementary Therapies, October 2002
“…879 pages of valuable information about more than 800 useful and
rarely used medicinal herbs. …the use of shortenings and
evaluations and the concise descriptions makes the use of the
handbook as a reference book easy.”
— Journal of Medicinal and Spice Plants
