Editorial Reviews

Review
"An excellent quick guide to the scientific literature on the use of botanicals in the treatment of disease." -- Quarterly Review of Natural Medicine

"This is a useful volume which should be in any serious herbalist’s library." -- NNFA Today (National Nutritional Foods Association)

"While many books on botanicals give valuable directions, I have seen few which take as comprehensive an approach." -- Townsend Letter for Doctors and Patients

"[One of]the most valuable references for information on herbal products." -- HerbalGram

"[This] book should definitely be on the shelf of the physician who is working with herbal remedies.” -- Journal of Advancement in Medicine

Product Description
Botanical Influences on Illness is a member of the 'SourceBooks of Clinical Research' series, and is thus a companion book to Nutritional Influences on Illness and Nutritional Influences on Mental Illness.

It includes a materia medica on 40 common phytomedicines and an annotated list of resources.

More than twice the size of the first edition, the book reviews botanical treatments for 70 different illnesses.

4.0 out of 5 stars Technical herb information in user-friendly format, March 29, 2000
By Shonda Parker (Monroe, Louisiana) - See all my reviews
Werbach and Murray have done an excellent job of presenting research abstracts on various botanical (herbal) medicines so that the reader can easily do follow-up study or simply know how much of a given botanical medicine is an effective amount for a particular illness. I found the book to include categories of chronic disease conditions that are not generally found in other herbals as well as those maladies we all encounter such as fatigue, headache and infection. Definitely a good buy for anyone wishing to substantiate the validity of herbal medicine.

5.0 out of 5 stars The new age, September 10, 2001
By Carlos Mena, M.D. (Caracas, Venezuela, SA) - See all my reviews
This book changes from old days style around botanicals to a new century scientific point of view. No pink words. Just science. I hope they will grow it into two volumes for the next year edition. ¡Congratulations Mr. Werbach and Mr. Murray!
