The sub-title for this book is "Herb Care for Men & Boys" but the book does far more than this. Its is an excellent source of information about specific ailments afflicting men and what can be done about them. His style of writing is most enjoyable as the topics, herbal suggestions with recipes, and use of technical herbal terminology is presented in a real home-style fashion. Reading it made me think of an old friend who was giving good natured advice to me. There are sections on how to pick the right herb, how to prepare the herbs (infusion, decoction, etc), on Wholistic way of life vs Allopathic MD treatments, a pictoral glossary of the herbs, informative glossary, and wonderful folklore & herbal recipes for most every male complaint. There is so much no available on "women's" complaints & herbal treatments, but so very little on the male counterpart.

James Green has created an exhaustive index of herbs in a book I've gone back to hundreds of times. Very readable and down-to-earth, James combines good science with great advice. Includes much information of male-specific maladies (e.g. prostate) and insights into lifestyles that contribute to problems. Many recipies for daily herbal health-maintanance are tried and true. Simply the best and my personal favorite.

I bought this book in an attempt to locate herbal remedies specifically designed for my husband in mind. That is not what I found with this book. This book has two primary themes throughout the whole book: Prostate and erectile dysfunction. There are almost little to no remedies for men that are not prostate nor erectile dysfunction related. I understand that those are two concerns for men. If that is what you are seeking in a book, then the "Male Herbal" is for you. If you, like me, are looking for a book with more helpful remedies I suggest that, like me, you look elsewhere.

This is a classic herbal, a must for anyone looking for holistic health & healing information. I recommend it to males & females. I use it in the college level health courses I teach to introduce students to the concept of holistic health & natural whole food nutrition. It is a great book!

This book is nescessity for the modern Herbalist.

didn't realize the copy edition , has been revised many times since..thank you and blessings.was looking for remedy for tinnitus, which was in my last copy borrowed and never returned.this copy has no remedy.

This is a great book documenting how the herbal requirements for men differ from those for women. I am lucky to have gotten a copy in such good condition.
