300 Herbs: Their Indications & Contraindications (A Materia Medica & Repertory)

In this long-awaited professional guide to the use of medicinal plants, one finds both a detailed materia medica and a user-friendly repertory. The materia medica takes up the first half of this scholarly volume, listing and describing 300 herbs as to their indications (first by energetics, then by body systems), known contraindications, and traditional dosages. In the second half, a detailed repertory appears, listing hundreds of indications and health conditions, which are then referenced back to the appropriate herbs in the materia medica. Rounded out with substantial introductions on the energetics of the four major herbal systems (Traditional Chinese Medicine, Ayurveda, Unani Tibb, and American Eclectic Medicine), a glossary, and a bibliography, this power-packed reference work is intended for serious students of herbal medicine as well as for herbal practitioners, all of whom will discover a veritable treasure trove of information within its pages.
