Acclaim for Herbal Medicine, Second Edition:A seminal work in the annals of modern phytotherapy one of the chief standards against which all future publications will be measured. --from the foreword by Mark Blumenthal, Founder and executive Director, American Botanical Council, Editor, HerbalGramStill one of the best manual on clinical Western herbal medicine, if not the best available. --Christopher Hobbs, L.Ac., fourth-generation clinical herbalistThe definitive text of herbal medicine from the conventional medical approach. --Michael Tierra, L.Ac., O.M.D., author of Way of HerbsA scientific and authoritative work based on the authors' decades of real-life clinical experience. The practical formulas and well-referenced data sets this work at a quantum level beyond any other herb books on the market. I plan to use this excellent text in the training of my medical students. --Dr. Jill E. Stansbury, N.D., Chair Botanical Medicine Department, National College of Naturopathic Medicine
