Guest guest Posted December 13, 2004 Report Share Posted December 13, 2004 In my experience so far, it seems to take several herbals to get complete information. But, there is one book I've come across lately that I will highly recommend. " The scientific Validation of Herbal Medicine " by Daniel B. Mowrey, Ph.D. - " How to remedy and prevent disease with herbs, Vitamins, Minerals and other nutrients. He documented medical and pharmaceutial research from around the world and compared their findings to documented folk medicine. He lists all of the journals/articles cited for each section. The books gives you contraindications and a complete rundown on each herb used for the illness. I wish it did better job of listing the dosages, but those can be found in other sources. It does list dosages for vitamins and indictes whether the herb was taken as a capsule, tea, tincture, etc. I would be interested in knowing of any herbals that anyone would recommend. herbal remedies , " flip19533 " <FLIPSIDE10@h...> wrote: > > > Can anyone recommend a good book to start out with? > one that gives basic knowledge, ie, what to use, when to us it, how > to use it, how to make it etc. > I would be grateful for any recommndations. > thx.

Guest guest Posted December 14, 2004 Report Share Posted December 14, 2004 I've always been under the impression that Rosemary Gladstar's work was pretty well-known and/or ubiquitous (although I've never seen anyone here reference them, so maybe not), however, not very scientific. Also Michael Tierra's _The Way of Herbs_ is another one I've found useful. It's very textbook in style, and he actually does use it as a text in his school's herbal correspondence courses. I'll check out the books you mentioned, as I'm always looking to expand my collection. --- zengirl04 <zengirl04 wrote: > I would be interested in knowing of any herbals that anyone would > recommend. > > Send holiday email and support a worthy cause.

Guest guest Posted December 14, 2004 Report Share Posted December 14, 2004 Thank you. There are so many and I've never found one that I consider to be really complete and also include dosages. It is also difficult to find one that includes non-herb ingredients. I'm thinking about creating a searchable database so I can combine all the information into one place. herbal remedies , Jamie Lynn <jalynned> wrote: > > I've always been under the impression that Rosemary Gladstar's work was pretty > well-known and/or ubiquitous (although I've never seen anyone here reference them, > so maybe not), however, not very scientific.
