Increasing global interest in herbal medicines creates a serious
need for truly objective data, not only on their efficacy, but also
their side effects and interactions. The encyclopedic Meyler's Side
Effects volumes and their associated Annuals have since 1977 done
much to meet this need. Now, with the publication of Meyler's Side
Effects of Herbal Medicines this unbiased evidence is made
available to a much broader audience - superbly documented and
indexed. Wherever herbal medicines are widely used, this volume
deserves to be readily accessible. -- Prof. M.N. Graham Dukes

This edition gives a systematic view of adverse effects of herbals
and has been published as a reference to health professionals and
homoeopathic practitioners in understanding the effects of herbal
Drugs. The book is up to now the only drug guide that includes
clinical case studies and expert analyses.
The volume contains monographs on individual herbal products
structured in the following manner: Plant family, Genera, Species,
Alternative common names, Active ingredients, Uses (including
traditional and modern uses), Adverse effects and References.
The material collected from clinical case reports and some
systematic clinical studies shows, that herbal medicines have the
potential to elicit the same type of adverse reactions as synthetic
drugs. "Side Effects of Herbal Medicines" is a book which can be
recommended as a valuable reference book for all pharmacists,
doctors in private praxis and hospitals, health professionals and
homoeopathic practitioners. Further this book offers extensive
information on herbal medicines for anyone with an interest in
scientifically solid phytotherapy. --Prof. Dr. Hans D. Reuter, Koln
