Herbal Books


	Medical Herbalism David Hoffman This book has almost everything you'd want to know about herbs and how to use them medicinally. It has the chemical breakdown of all the herbs so you can really see what's going on, as well as listings for conditions and ways to treat them. I love this book, it's invaluable
	Prescription for Herbal Healing Phyllis A. Balch This book is divided into three parts for easy reference. Part I discusses the basic principles of herbal medicine and outlines the properties and characteristics of some one hundred sixty single herbs and sixty herbal combination formulas. Part II describes more than one hundred fifty common disorders, conveniently arranged in alphabetical order from acne to yeast infection, and names the herbal therapies that can be used in the treatment of those conditions. Part III is a guide to using various kinds of herbal and other alternative therapies.
	Herbal Vade Mecum: 800 Herbs, Spices, Essential Oils, Lipids, Etc.-Constituents, Properties, Uses, and Caution Gazmend Skenderi The Herbal Vade Mecum is a very good materia medica for the practising herbalist. Uses are given, dosages aren't, so you need to know your plants before you use this book. Beginners might not do all that much with it, except for the teensy little fact that they'd get solid practical sensible cautions for the listed plants instead of the usual overly theoretical overcautious ones.
	Veterinary Herbal Medicine Susan G. Wynn, Barbara Fougere This full-colour text and practical clinical reference provides comprehensive information on herbal remedies for both large and small animal species. Key coverage includes: clinical uses of medicinal plants, specific information on how to formulate herbal remedies, a systems-based review of plant-based medicine, and in-depth information on the different animal species dog, cat, avian and exotic, equine, food animal, and poultry. Other topics include evidence-based medicine and plant medicine research; toxicology, drug interactions, and banned substances; regulations and quality control; and nutritional uses of herbs and other plants.
	The Herbal Drugstore: The Best Natural Alternatives to Over-the-Counter and Prescription Medicines! Linda B. White, Steven Foster, Herbs for Health Staff The Herbal Drugstore is the only place where you can compare mainstream drug treatments and their herbal alternatives for close to 100 common health problems. You'll find herbs that have the same healing powers as many prescription and over-the-counter medications-- only they're cheaper and gentler, with few or no side effects.
	Botanical Medicine for Women's Health, 2e Aviva Romm This book covers the healthcare and treatment of women according to changes and conditions that occur within the context of the life cycles. The book deals with menstrual health, menstrual concerns, and disorders; fertility and the childbearing cycle, the menopausal years. There will also be sections on gynecologic malignancies, breast conditions, and sexually transmitted diseases.
	The Green Pharmacy James A. Duke This comprehensive reference contains thorough explanations for more than 180 herbs and details the medicinal properties of herbs for hundreds of ailments, as well as herbs' effectiveness, therapeutic uses, prescription counterparts, and safety and precautions.

	The Natural Testosterone Plan: For Sexual Health and Energy Stephen Harrod Buhner In The Natural Testosterone Plan, Stephen Harrod Buhner shows why men need to take action to maintain their testosterone levels as they age and explains how safe, naturally occurring phytoandrogens--plant medicines that contain male hormones--can remedy the depletion caused by the environment. Buhner details how each phytoandrogen works, when its use is indicated, and the most appropriate method of application.
	The Desktop Guide to Herbal Medicine Brigitte Mars This is a good quick reference for basic information on herbs and what they are used for. It's simple, methodical, and to the point.
	The Healing Power of Rainforest Herbs: A Guide to Understanding and Using Herbal Medicinals Leslie Taylor I was looking for a good book on Rain Forest Herbs without all the hype that had a least some science it in to complement information about traditional uses. Too many herbal books have either no science behind them or have such reductionist science based on faulty studies and assumptions that the information is useless. It combines traditional use with scientific studies and lots of information about each herb.
