Reviews

Eric Yarnell, ND, RH (AHG) HerbalGram Issue 65, 2005
"The features of this book include its collection of interesting facts and the handling of many obscure and potentially toxic herbs, practically ignored in all other botanical literature. The strong empirical nature of the book is refreshing amidst the too-often absurdly reductionist and hypocritical demand for evidence-based medicine. There is a wide range of herbs covered, which is a creative and insightful approach that opens our eyes to new potential in the plant and fungal kingdoms, to further the health of our patients."
