This review is from: Herbal Medicine: The Use of the Herbs for Health and Healing (Health Essentials Series) (Paperback)

Even though this book was copywrited in 1994 and revised in 1998, the info is still fresh and new. Pitman uses a mixture of Ayurvedic and Greek-Tibb humours to base her recommended herbs. This is fairly easy to follow with this book. The remedies are obtainable and easy to understand. However, she doesn't give the quantities of the herbs to use. One would have to rely on their intuition or maybe consult another book if you are unsure about measurements. All in all, I enjoyed reading this book and it will definitely be one that I use as a reference as an herbologist.
