Synopsis
In this updated translation of the German edition titled Arzneidrogenprofile (2000), German pharmacists and a naturopath profile some 200 commonly used medicinal herbs, from agrimony to zedoary. The brief profiles include herb synonyms, part used, area of application, dosage, applications, comments, contraindications, adverse events, and interactions, but lack illustrations. The volume includes English-Latin, Latin-English plant glossaries, and more German than English references. The foreword alludes to the US lag in experience with medicinal herbs and controversies regarding efficacy, safety, and standardization. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
