Summary: treasured new resource
Comment: This is a treasured new resource for me. When I want some practical advice on herbal remedies, and not the same old echoes, this is my favorite. It is as the title implies, a great source book on herbal medicine for the clinician. And it doesn't shy away from specific dosing details. There are lots of interesting new herbal suggestions here. I'll be citing it frequently, in my teaching and writing. Jim Duke, retired USDA medical botanist.

Summary: a professionals book
Comment: I am deeply appreciative of the all-to-few sources that I can refer my students to for reliable and informative discussion of Botanical Medicine. In Clinical Botanical Medicine, we have another standard to both use and recommend. One which meets criteria that are missing from other works.

There is no doubt that the research and details of the text are reliable. It is the treatment chapters that are of particular value. Well written discussions of important disease states are imperative for students as they unravel the possibilities of herbs in therapeutics. The subjects are well chosen, the chapters on addiction most welcome. I thought the Special Formulae offered valuable insights into the thinking of those proficient in complex prescribing. The section on Specific Herbal Medicines brought me up to date with some interesting sources. The Issues in Botanical Medicine whetted my appetite for further study. Most important here where the chapters on Misunderstood "Toxic" Herbs and the St John's Wort Controversy. Thank you authors for tackling these vital topics which so many shy away from.

I realize that any work in print is as much an act of omission as inclusion. I was left wanting more. I hope the professional market will support the expanding contribution of this collaboration of experts and that they continue to share their experience and teaching.

Summary: Wonderful Reference
Comment: This book should be part of any botanical medicine lovers library. What a practical preventative and holistic guide to common conditions. I really like that a few herbs are thuroughly covered rather than a many herbs just touched on. The botanical issues section is awsome, it was like histroy, botany, medicine, and creativity all tossed in the mix. There are great reference charts that are easy to read and interpert. A definate must have. :-)
