5.0 out of 5 stars A brilliant, comprehensive and thorough guide to herbal remedies...., 4 April 2009
James Duke provides a wealth of information and knowledge in this book. The Herbal Handbook is a comprehensive guide to all (both common and rare) herbal extracts. The book begins with a very thorough introduction to herbal remedies and also covers a guide to various ratings he uses throughout the book so it is really easy to understand. There is also a very interesting chart in the introduction covering alternative herbal remedies for common complaints also listing the normal prescription medicines offered for these.

The rest of the book is set out in an easy reference A - Z guide and lists what the herb is, what it is used to treat, medicinal properties and dosage options followed by a safety rating. As I mentioned before, this features from the normal everyday herbs like Chamomile through to the more unusual like Bloodroot. At the back of the book there is an A - Z index of symptoms and conditions and underneath each one is a list of herbs used to treat them. This is probably the bit of the book I use the most. For example, whilst suffering with nausea recently I knew ginger was a good idea to take, but this lists 17 possible cures!

I think that this book is a great buy, both for the herbal beginner right through to practitioner level. There is a lot of knowledge in this book, all packed into almost 400 pages. Definitely buy this if you want a quick easy to use reference for treating with herbal remedies.
