Reissued as a companion edition to Trying to Give Ease: Tommie Bass
and the Story of Herbal Medicine, this illustrated reference guide
covers over 700 medicinal plants, of which more than 150 are
readily obtainable in health food stores and other outlets. Based
on the Appalachian herbal practice of the late A. L. "Tommie" Bass,
each account of a plant includes the herbalist’s comment, an
assessment of the plant’s efficacy, and current information on
its chemical constituents and pharmacological effects. Unlike most
herbal guides, this is a comprehensive, fully documented reference
work that interweaves scientific evaluation with folkloric use.
