5.0 out of 5 stars
A deceptively important book,
By A Customer
This review is from: Medicinal Herbal Therapy: A Pharmacist's Viewpoint (Paperback)
Steven Ottariano's Medicinal Herbal Therapy breaks new ground in terms of clarity, insight and the accessible delivery of information about the healing benefits of natural herbs. Written by a practicing clinical pharmacist, Medicinal Herbal Therapy provides an easy-to-read perspective on how and when natural medications can augment or sometimes replace modern synthetic preparations that are often prescribed by physicians either out of habit or as a result of a lack of knowledge. Anyone searching for information about herbal cures will find the information they desire--and more--in Medicinal Herbal Therapy. The book's organization makes it easy to use. Part One, "What Ails You?" is alphabetically arranged to help you locate herbs by the symptoms they cure. Part Two, "The Healing Herbs" alphabetically lists herbs and the ailments they cure.

This review is from: Medicinal Herbal Therapy: A Pharmacist's Viewpoint (Paperback)
Very valuable information, succinctly presented. Also very useful for physicians, who might want to know a little more about Phytotherapy.
