»Book Publisher: Thomson Healthcare (December, 1998)
»ISBN: 1563632926
»Book author: Medical Economics
»Amazon Rating: 3.5

Book Description:
Interest in and usage of herbal preparations as alternatives to pharmaceuticals has exploded in recent years. Having a complete herbal reference on hand is now absolutely necessary for doctors and other healers when a patient wants to add herbs–let’s say St. John’s wort–to his drug regimen. Should the patient stop taking the Paxil he’s been on for depression, and if so, how long must he wait before he can start taking the St. Johns wort, and what’s the recommended dosage?

The PDR for Herbal Medicines will go a long way towards answering such questions. The physician in this case would learn, after consulting the PDR, that “St. John’s wort taken concomitantly with an SSRI … may lead to an increased effect and possible toxicity ’serotonin syndrome’, e.g., sweating, tremor, flushing, confusion and agitation.” The same physician will also learn that the German Federal Health Authority’s Commission E, which has studied the effects of hundreds of herbs, approved St. John’s wort for depressive moods, among other conditions.

For more information, the physician can read about the trade names, descriptions of all the medicinal parts of the plant, actions and pharmacology (including the compounds and their effects, with citations), the results of clinical trials, contraindications, precautions and adverse reactions (photosensitization is a biggie for St. John’s wort), dosage information, and a complete list of literature citations.

The second edition of this mammoth guide includes over 100 entries more than the first, bringing the total to more than 700. Additions include a selection of Asian herbs, such as Buplerum Chinese (also known as Chinese thoroughwax), which is used in Chinese medicine as an anti-inflammatory, and homeopathic preparations; a directory of manufacturers (with Internet addresses when available), a safety guide (don’t use kava kava while nursing), and more. There’s even a section that lists unproven uses for each herb. But make no mistake: this is a mainstream reference that relies on scientific proof above all. Therefore, this is not a guide for everyone, but for scientific and medical reference, it’s a helpful and comprehensive resource, and even those who push the herbal envelope will find much valuable information here. –Stefanie Durbin

Book Description:
The Herbal Pharmacy

It’s not a book, it’s a CD-ROM but it delivers what it promises: a Herbal Pharmacy.

It’s the best herbal Materia Medica program I know of, with close to 300 plants and about 100 formulas. The information is accurate, too - Brigitte has been a practising herbalist for quite a few years.

Welcome to The Herbal Pharmacy CD Rom. We hope that this CD will help you benefit from the wonderful healing properties of plants as well as guide you to using them safely and effectively. Herbal medicine is one of the most time-tested human traditions on the face of the Earth. The information you are about to read has been well researched, and although the modern scientific method has given us great insights into herbs, more research is needed and will certainly continue. Nonetheless, herbal medicine has benefited millions of people for thousands of years. I myself have been a practitioner for over 27 years, and my undiminished enthusiasm for herbal healing stems from my experiences of seeing herbs help many lives. A bibliography is also provided which will, I hope, guide you to some of the excellent and detailed literature available in the field of herbal medicine.

Health is a gift that makes life worthwhile. Herbs can certainly help us along that path, but they should not be relied upon simply as a band-aid to fix a health problem. I encourage you to look deeply at the causes of illness and seek to live a healthier lifestyle whenever possible. This includes having healthy relationships, eating a wholesome diet, and exercising. We must also avoid the things that damage health, such as stress, smoking, exposure to pollutants, and an unhealthy lifestyle.

Provided in this program is information on how to use herbs, as well as herbal blends. Each herbal description includes contraindictions, such as dangerous side effects, to which you should pay careful attention. Many of the contraindications only occur in extremely large doses and would never be a problem with normal use. However, there are some plants that should best be used with professional counsel, and many should be avoided during pregnancy. In listing contraindications, I have chosen to err on the side of safety, rather than ignore any potential dangers. Remember just because something is from a plant does not mean it is appropriate for everyone to use at all times.

In Chinese medicine, different foods have different characteristics, described as energetics. This program is not intended to teach Chinese herbalism, but it does provide the energetics for each herb. I must admit that not everyone agrees on whether an herb is cool, cold or warm. As American herbalism evolves the use of energetics will become a more genuine and accurate part of our own healing tradition, with more agreement between herbal practitioners.

Even though some of the constituents of the plants are listed, herbalists usually prefer to use plants in a more whole form. I firmly believe that using the entire herb, with all of its components, is more effective and often safer than using any one component. Many herbs are becoming endangered. Please support local organic farming by buying herbs from reputable sources, and please avoid harvesting any endangered species. With the burgeoning interest in herbs, we must be careful not to threaten any more species, and you should consider the joy that comes from growing some of these plants yourself.

From Publishers Weekly
Known for their reference manuals (Physicians’ Desk Reference; PDR Medical Dictionary; PDR for Nonprescription Drugs and Dietary Supplements) that have been indispensable to the medical world, PDR has compiled a list of extensive explanations of more than 600 herbal medications available. Addressing the influx of natural supplements into mainstream supermarkets, PDR intends to educate consumers and assist them in choosing the best herbs to treat an ailment or simply to help maintain a healthy life. Arranged by the herb’s Latin name (cross-referenced by common name), each herbal entry contains pertinent information: description, physical properties, intended usage and expected effects, precautions and adverse reactions, recommended dosage and references for additional reading. To assist in identifying these supplements, the editors have included color photos of many of these herbs as they exist naturally. The indexes are also helpful; one lists both the scientific and common name of each herb and the other lists ailments such as acne, cardiovascular disease, migraines and rhinitis, and the herbs recommended for treatment. This manual could well become a standard guide for those on the road to self-medication.
