4.0 out of 5 stars
Good for reference but not bible....,
By DH "terrachic" (Burgoon, Ohio United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Doctors Book of Herbal Home Remedies: Cure Yourself with Nature's Most Powerful Healing Agents (Alternative Health) (Hardcover)
This book discusses each herb by what ailment it can help. From aches and pains, insomnia, and yeast infections; this book lists remedies to over 100 problems. Each herb summary is easy to read and lists the type, dosage, other healing effects, how long it takes etc. It even gives you recipes and information on making your own remedies. There is also a neat section on pet herbal remedies. The only thing that concerned me is that there wasn't alot mention of how the herbs might interact with other herbs or prescriptions you maybe taking. Myself taking an anti-depressant, I know that it is not reccommended taking St. John's Wort. All it says is to check with your doctor as you would any drug. Overall it was a good reference book, but as I have said before never get all your information from one book.

By Vera (IN) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Doctors Book of Herbal Home Remedies: Cure Yourself with Nature's Most Powerful Healing Agents (Alternative Health) (Hardcover)
It was a gift. The person I bought it for loves the book but it did have areas that someone highlighted. I did buy it used so I guess I should have investigated deeper. But other than that it is a very good book. The funny ( funny now...not then) I bought the book for a man at church and the part that was highlighted was in the erectial disfunction chapter!!! ACKKK!!! Embarrassing at the time, but we are all moving on with our lives (LOL)
