Although it is not as definitive as the editors would have you believe, "Nature's Medicines" quite thoroughly covers a number of herbs, vitamins and other supplements. The book is divided into 3 sections for easy reference: What You Need to Know About Supplements; The Powerhouse of Nature's Medicines; and Fighting Disease with Supplements. The first chapter discusses the role that vitamins, minerals and other supplements play in your health. The second chapter discusses the efficacy of numerous supplements, to include side effects and interaction precautions. The third chapter is a very thorough discussion of numerous diseases/ailments (such as AIDS, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, headaches, cancer, Alzheimers, etc.)and what supplements are most beneficial to those suffering from them. If I could only have one book on natural supplements, this is the one I would choose: it's a very useful reference.

This book is one of my favorite reference books for health and how to stay healthy. Even though it's an older book, the information is still relevant. If I want to know about a certain remedy or what foods contain it, this is the book I choose. I highly recommend it.

This is easy to read and understand. In the first section supplements of herbs and vitamins are listed alphabetically with clear descriptions of what they do and appropriate dosages.
In the second section medical conditions are explained with suggestions of vitamins or herbs that would be helpful. Medical doctors are quoted and referenced throughout.
