A true herbal classic,
This review is from: Bartram's Encyclopedia of Herbal Medicine: The Definitive Guide to the Herbal Treatments of Diseases (Paperback)
I love alternative medicine classics - books that are uniquely authoritative and crammed with information. I use this book constantly. There is simply no other source of herbal information which is so comprehensive. It must have taken a lifetime to write. This book is also holistic and does not bow to science at the expense of leaving out valuable traditional information.Linda Lazarides Author: The Waterfall Diet; Treat Yourself with Nutritional Therapy

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Bartram's Encyclopedia of Herbal Medicine (Paperback)
A holistic approach in a form that is pragmatic and informative. It is a reference that guides the paractitoner to continue to consider various alternatives for a condition. The number of relevant conditions similarly, makes this a quick reference marker for approriate prescriptions. I refer to it for confirmation and confidence daily.
