3.0 out of 5 starsA good book but in no way a definite source
By Erin on October 26, 2005
Format: Mass Market Paperback
Earl Mindell's New Herb bible was one of the first books I bought on herbs. While this book is useful as a reference, it is in no way a definitive source that should be called a 'bible.' The writing is well done and simple, and the text and information aimed more toward a beginner in every sense of the word.

Mindell is more of a supplement expert, and it does show from time to time here. Some of his comments gave me pause though. For instance, he says "Homeopathic extracts used by homepathic practitioners are much stronger than conventional herbal tinctures and are strictly regulated by the FDA. They should only be used in conjunction with treatment by a homeopath practitioner." This threw me a bit, I'll admit it.

He goes on to say that herbal powders are common, yet does not mention that powdered herbs lose potency amazingly fast. When he said bitters can be nasty tasting and that some may prefer them in capsules, it's also left out that when you don't taste a bitter on the tongue, you don't get the effect, which is the point of taking a bitter. He also discusses Hippocrates as the father of modern medicine, a slight peeve of mine but no fault of the authors.

Chapter 2 is the point of the book - the 'hot hundred' Here Mindell discusses briefly 100 herbs. Some have one paragraph, others have six, with a listing of possible benefits, then how to use it, then cautions if applicable. As a quick reference for the beginner this is useful; however, it's also quite vague. Many can sit and say what an herb has been historically used for, what evidence may or may not show (using these words), but I never got the feel he put much faith into the herbs themselves.Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 starsAn easy to understand herbal reference
By A Customer on March 28, 2000
Format: Paperback
When the first Herb Bible came out, I found it incredibly informative. Eight years have passed and science knows more about herbal remedies (the big herbal boom was only a few years ago). For those who remember the original Herb Bible, the New Herb Bible is still in that same exact format, just with new herbs and new possible benefits of old herbs. Since the benefits of some herbs may be either fairy taled or over exaggerated by herbal vendors, not all of the remedies in the book worked on me, but the majority of them did. The most useful to me is the papain (a substance found in papaya) which I use as a natural antacid.

5.0 out of 5 starsAn indispensable herb reference
By A Customer on July 19, 2000
Format: Paperback
With the increasing popularity of herbs, there come an increasing number of questions on what they are and how to use them. This book has most of the answers in an easy to use format. It gives you a description of the most commonly used herbs, their benefits, and guidelines on their use, including recommended dosages. It also gives warnings as to side effects and people who shouldn't take them.
Additionally, it is loaded with remedies for various maladies. I have been very pleased with this as a guide and the advice given here has been very helpful in soothing minor ailments.
The writing style is very straightforward, informative and easy to understand. This is a must-have book for anyone considering taking herbs as a supplement or remedy.

5.0 out of 5 starsValuable reference source
By Peter Uys HALL OF FAME on February 13, 2007
Format: Mass Market Paperback
The Herb Bible is ideal for those who are interested in getting to know about herbal remedies and their benefits. It is not a detailed botanical work but intended for the average reader. Most of these herbs are available in pharmacies and health shops and are easy to use. The author explains what herbs are, their healing properties and how they work in the body.

He provides information on how to buy herbs, the shelf life of herbs, the correct amounts, plus a brief history of herbal medicine. Then follows the Hot 100 of the most popular herbs today, from Alfalfa to Witch Hazel. Every entry contains the popular name, the botanical name, facts, possible benefits, how to use it orally and/or externally, and cautions.

The familiar time-tested herbal remedies still in use today are discussed, and there is a chapter on herbs from around the world including remedies from India, China and the Americas. Other chapters deal with herbs that are specifically aimed at men and women.The preventive use of herbs, especially against heart disease and cancer, is discussed, plus those that promote blood circulation, boost the immune system, counteract the effects of aging, help liver function and improve vision.

A chapter is devoted to herbal grooming products. The author also deals with aromatherapy - the use of essential oils for healing. In the Resources section, details of professional and trade associations, mail order companies and suppliers of fresh herbs and plants are provided. The book concludes with an extensive bibliography and index. The Herb Bible is a valuable reference source for those who wish to take responsibility for their own health.
