Austin, TX (May 2, 2003) The American Botanical Council (ABC) announces the

availability of its latest in-depth, therapeutic guide and reference book. " The

ABC Clinical Guide to Herbs " is a comprehensive review of 29 of the most

commonly used herbs in the United States and 13 proprietary products, and their

relevance to modern medicine. By offering the underlying science necessary to

understand the safe and effective use of herbal medicine, ABC has delivered an

important resource for professionals and interested consumers. A bonus that

healthcare practitioners will find attractive is the ability to earn continuing

education credits.

" Herbal medicine is undergoing a renaissance of interest in science and society.

'The ABC Clinical Guide to Herbs' is an urgently needed benchmark of the

scholarship that exists in this field. This is that rare book that is a must for

laypersons, clinicians, and researchers alike. This volume deserves to stand

alongside Gray's Anatomy as one of the defining texts of medicine, " said Larry

Dossey, MD, the executive editor of Alternative Therapies in Health and Medicine

and the author of " Reinventing Medicine " , " Healing Beyond the Body " , and

" Healing Word. "

therapeutic use, and a simplified information sheet for consumers and patients

interactions, and dosages. A separate chapter covers 13 proprietary herbal

products that have undergone clinical studies.

Healthcare professionals may earn continuing education credit by reading the

book and completing a post test. Physicians, physician assistants, nurses,

dietitians, pharmacists, naturopaths, and osteopaths can contact ABC or visit
