Warning: This will ONLY run on WinXP 32bit and EARLIER operating systems, or a Mac!!! The format, Windows Multimedia Viewer (.MVB file extension), is a VERY outdated format that was designed for Windows 3.1. If the collection were recreated today, it would most likely be in an e-book or self-executable help file. That is about the only negative thing I have to say about this, but I still gave it 5 stars.

I call it a collection because that's what it is. It is a LARGE collection of information on herbs and how they *should* be used. It's almost like a mini version of Prescription for Herbal Healing: An Easy-to-Use A-Z Reference to Hundreds of Common Disorders and Their Herbal Remedies. You can search by the herb name, what it affects, or by how it affects. The main review above does the program justice, so I won't repeat what it says.

If you purchase this program (from any source) and have a 64-bit operating system, contact me for a version that will work. You MUST prove you purchased the CD.

I was surprised that the CD was so complete. Herbal remedies are offered for so many common ailments and yet it does not present itself as the end-all-be-all of medicine. And that was a relief because so many of these books just try to tell you that herbs are all you need for good health. Good luck.

Anyway, this is a super guide to ancient herbals and I am so glad to have it.
