Books on Herbs
Information - or the lack of it - is perhaps the biggest single obstacle to wider acceptance for herbal medicine and natural healthcare. Matching treatment to condition is only part of the story. As people, we are worried, and rightly so, about the safety of complementary health products. We are concerned about dosages, length of treatment and possible interraction of herbs with each other and with other forms of drugs or medication.
Where to obtain the information we all crave? Qualified herbal practioners are the first choice. Failing that, we should look to the writings of herbalists and doctors, backed up by whatever research and supporting evidence can be found. Fortunately, much more is now known about the active ingredients of plant medicines. The medical profession, so far from feeling threatened, is coming to understand and appreciate through scientific research the valuable place of these natural alternatives to drug therapy.
This selection of books mainly from Amberwood Publishing provides a useful and authoritative source of information on ailments and herbal remedies in general, and also specific advice on treatment.
