A perennial favourite with students and practitioners, this is the
go-to reference book for 180 medicinal herbs and their actions.
Materia Medica of Western Herbs is designed for worldwide use and
contains detailed monographs of 180 of the most commonly used
medicinal herbs. Each herb is presented with: • Plant name and
picture • Parts used • Actions • Pharmacy • Interaction
with drugs • Botanical description • Active constituents •
Scientific information • Precaution and/or Safety • Historical
uses • Habitat and geographical location • Nutritional
constituents • Medicinal uses There are appendices to help
students understand pharmacological and medicinal actions, a
glossary listing the known actions of common constituents, a table
of interactions and a comprehensive therapeutic index. At the start
of the book, medicinal herbs are listed by both their medicinal and
common names. Based on the original Materia Medica of Western
Herbs by Carole Fisher and Gilian Painter, this new book has
been reset and streamlined to include botanical, scientific,
pharmacy and safety information. This textbook is valuable not only
for students and practitioners of herbal medicine but is also of
use to any health provider who wishes to know more about how and
why herbs work and the safety issues related to them.
