I wrote this book for my mother - a consumer who knows little about herbs, but wishes to have essential information. Covering 50 plants, it includes essential information on the source plant, traditional uses, current scientific data, preparations, dosage, and cautions (with references). Here you will find information on commonly used herbs such as Aloe, Bilberry, Black Cohosh, Chamomile, Echinacea, Garlic, Ginger, Ginkgo, Goldenseal, Kava, Milk Thistle, Saw Palmetto, St. John's Wort, Valerian and others. Herbs for Your Health is one of the best quick guides to herbs. It includes over 50 color photographs. I must have done something right. This best-seller has outsold all of my other books combined.
