Tenney's book offers easy to understand herbal treatments for every day health challenges. A must for anyone who wishes to take health care treatment dependency from doctors and put knowledge into thier own hands

A fantastic reference book for anyone making an initial investigation of any health issue. Well laid out with an excellent index. Comprehensive coverage of many health issues yet condensed and easy to read. The first health book any-one should buy. It even makes a great present.

I had borrowed a friend's book years ago when researching help for my asthma and allergies. I'd suffered from pollen allergies since I could remember and asthma since I was 19. By the time I was in my early 30s, I had grown tired of the prescriptions, steriods, shots, inhalers, and plain old "just suffer through it until the season breaks." This book provided me with information for an herbal tea and a juice recipe that I was able to do for a week's time. Although I may sneeze every now and then, it does not compare to sneezing back to back to back like there's no end in sight! Other than that, I have not had any allergy or asthma symptoms since. It's been about 8 years since I've taken a prescription or over-the-counter medication for allergies and asthma. I see why my friend wanted his book back. If you like alternative help, this is a great book to keep for whatever ails you.

This book is not only good for the newbie but also for the seasoned herbalist. This just goes to show you can help take care of yourself, and that you don't have to go to someone for situations that can be helped at home. I am working on my health book be on the look out.

Like Tenney's other classic book, this one again provides essentially no empirical support for thousands of claims. Given that Congress has gutted the power of the FDA to control the snake oil salespeople of herbal remedies, a book like this COULD fill in the gap. Rather, it is a compendium of hearsay, tenacious beliefs, and wishful thinking.
