Summary: From a Scientist's and Layman's perspective, a great read!
Review: I am a Natural Products Chemist and Cancer Researcher. I wanted a book on Herbal Remedies to share with my friends and family containing a synopsis based on the facts without the media-babble. This is an excellent book. It is not an exhaustive work but contains many entry point references to the scientific literature whilst still presenting core material in a manner easily understood by most interested parties. This book helps bridge the gap between those interested consumers who want facts and not hype, and the scientific community. Dr. D.W., City of Hope National Medical Center. CA.

Summary: Great book.
Review: I have both the original and the revised version of this book. Both are excellent, the 2nd one however have a lot more information, and for those of us who really like a LOT of information you will get it in this book. Does it cover every herb used out there? Nope. Does it have wonderfully complete information for what it does cover? Yuppers. It has wonderful descriptions, uses, history, references, its a book well worth purchasing and being put at the top of ones list of books to buy

Summary: Herb book that is ahead of its time
Review: I have owned this book for 5 years. I still use it on a regular basis. Its one of the best books on basic herbs you can buy. I can't even begin to count how many times it has saved us from a trip to the doctor. Get this book if you want to keep yourself healthy naturally.

Summary: Very helpful information for a beginner
Review: I wanted some basic, beginner information about herbs and this book provided it. Some of it was too technical for me but that didn't stop me from learning a lot from the book. This is a good resource for cutting through some of the marketing hype about herbs.

Summary: Best In Its Class
Review: The Healing Power of Herbs is the most credible and useful herb book on the market, helpful for the consumer and the health professional alike. I especially appreciate the discussions of clinical trials, the medical journal references, and the easy-to-reference summaries of uses and dosages of herbs. This is *the* book I turn to when I have a question about herbal medicine. If you're only going to have one book on herbal medicine on your shelf, this is the one!

Summary: A book for anyone seriously interested in herbal medicine!
Review: This excellent book provides clear, complete, accurate and detailed information about many of the most useful herbs. Anyone interested in herbal medicine - layman or professional - would do well to read this book. It is essential to anyone who wishes to prescribe the covered herbs properly - be it to family and friends or as a health care professional. As well as covering the most useful herbs in detail, a separate section covers common conditions and what herbs and supplements to prescribe for them. This section is especially useful as it is not limited to the herbs covered in detail in the book.

Summary: Herb book that is ahead of its time
Review: This is the one herb book I would take with me to a deserted island :)I've had it for years and it amazes me how ahead of its time it is. I've even found articles on coleus and guggul. It's hard to find info on these. He includes both folklore and research information.
