Review

"I consider David Hoffmann one of the most original and brilliant herbalists of our time, who dwells 'on the cutting edge' of thought and is often paving the way for others. The author of one of our finest herbal classics, The Complete Illustrated Holistic Herbal, David's ambitious undertaking of his -brilliant new book provides us with yet another exceptional textbook on herbs that merges art, -science, and conservation into a system of holistic herbalism for the future. This will be a valuable book for practitioners of herbal medicine as well as for other medical professionals."

5.0 out of 5 stars Recommended for college-level health collections, May 5 2004

Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Medical Herbalism (Hardcover)

The science and practice and medical herbalism is covered in a weighty textbook covering the scientific principles of therapeutic herbalism and their application to medicine. Author Avid Hoffmann has several decades of experience in herbal practice and lends scientific authority to Medical Herbalism: Principles And Practices, which offers details on plants, chemical structures, physiological effects, and the craft of making herbal potions and medicines. No casual coverage, this is recommended for college-level health collections interested in serious science and health.

Robert Kall "Rob Kall of Opednews.com" (Newtown, PA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Medical Herbalism (Hardcover)

I've never seen another book on herbal medicine that is as exhaustive and comprehensive as this one. It oges to far as to illustrate the active biochemical components of the different herbal elements. The book is orgainized based on the different body systems. It describes how to identify the compounds and their souces. For anyone serious about herbal medicine this book is an essential addition for a professional library.

I organize an international conference -- The Winter Brain, Optimal Functioning and Positive Psychology meeting that routinely includes lectures on herbal medicine. This book will be very well received by our professional attendees.

Prairie Gal (Saskatchewan, Canada) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)

This review is from: Medical Herbalism (Hardcover)

This a well-written, thorough treatment of the subject. Each chapter deals with a particular system of the body with a physiological description of how the system works, how to maintain health of the system, and clinical names of various diseases. It has several presciptions for treatment of each condition, depending on symptoms and the actions indicated for each. It is also carefully referenced. I will be consulting this one often.
