4.0 out of 5 stars The Male Herbal: The Definitive Health Care Book for Men & Boys by James Green, September 3, 2007
This review is from: The Male Herbal: The Definitive Health Care Book for Men and Boys (Paperback)
This book was written with the intent to elevate the awareness of the conditions that afflict men and how herbs can alleviate these conditions. The book is a pleasant and informative read, that has scientific research to validate the use of the herbs (if you are scientifically inclined), while adhering to the holistic approach that is herbal medicine.

1.0 out of 5 stars buyer beware, May 6, 2009
This review is from: The Male Herbal: The Definitive Health Care Book for Men and Boys (Paperback)
The first two editions of this recommended a herb Pipisessawa for the disease prostatitis in tincture form. Many sites on this disease recommend against any herbal tea for treating that disease, as the volatile oils can worsen the condition.

In this latest edition, the herb was mysteriously pulled from the book with no explanation.

Herbalists do not have to conduct any research on their products to test for adverse effects.
