4.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent book for herbalists - presents SCIENTIFIC evidence,
By A Customer
This review is from: Herbs of Choice: The Therapeutic Use of Phytomedicinals (Paperback)
Dr. Tyler is a reputable scientist who has once again discussed and presented scientific data on herbs. Unlike many "herbalists", Dr. Tyler is not biased. Though rather technical, this book is the PERFECT reference for herbalists. In a time of extreme herbalist "quackery" it is refreshing to have such a wonderful reference which is based on scientific evidence. Bravo!

Somewhat technical herb book,
By Kathleen O'Mara(HerbNetMom@aol.com) (United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Herbs of Choice: The Therapeutic Use of Phytomedicinals (Paperback)
This book makes a good reference book for herbalists and people interested in botanicals. Divided into herb sections, the author bases the information on scientific research rather than folk lore which sometimes verifies the the long standing beliefs about particular herbs.

Should have been a politican, fence straddler,
By A Customer
This review is from: Herbs of Choice: The Therapeutic Use of Phytomedicinals (Paperback)
This book looks down on Commision E in Germany as though it were a third world county, disregards all their careful research and conclusions. Also states that since we do not have standardize herbs in the U.S he couldn't recommend an effictive amount to be used. Don't throw away your money on this book.
