The book provides science-based information about herbal remedies for the medical community. Each herb or remedy description is accompanied by information as to its origin, most common uses, benefits and risks/dangers. The book will provide detailed information on over 250 remedies and describes their constituents, mechanisms of action, adverse reactions, pharmacokinetics and contraindications. Information on each herb or other remedy was developed through careful and critical reviews of research conducted by experts in pharmacy, botanicals and complementary therapies. Each herb or product is described in terms of the following sections: common name, scientific name, key words, clinical summary, herbal constituents, warnings, mechanisms of action, usage, adverse reactions, drug interactions, dosage, literature summary and critique and notes. This book has the look and feel of a fine field guide to medicinal plants, thanks to the beautiful drawings by Angela Donato and it will be of interest to a wide audience beyond the medical specialists, including cancer patients. Beautifully rendered drawings of the plants and treatment machinery add considerably to the appeal Each listing has clearly indicated sections: common name, scientific name, clinical summary, constituents, warnings, mechanisms of action, usage, adverse reactions, drug interactions, dosage and literature summary Barrie R.

Book condition
An important factor of a second-hand book is the condition of the book. The buyer may not be surprised. Always mention damages or defects. We use a system with 3 stars:
The book is acceptable: you have used it to study and made notes and markings – but everything is still readable. The cover and pages are in good condition.
The book still looks good: there are a few notes in it and you marked it. There are hardly any signs of use on the cover and pages.
The book is (almost) new: you have not written or marked in it. There are no signs of use on the cover and pages.
