British Herbal Compendium Volume 2 Edited by Peter Bradley ^Sale

This is the second volume of a most valuable companion to the British Herbal Pharmacopoeia. It is one of the best-researched and well-documented references on the why's and how's for the use of herbal medicine/dietary supplements as alternative therapy in primary health care.

The text description of each of the 80 herbs is organized into seven parts: constituents, pharmacology, clinical studies, therapeutics, safety, regulatory status and references. Although the herb monographs represent only a small number of medicinal plants used around the globe, the list does include most of the important single herbs used as herbal medicine or dietary supplements in England (also European countries) and the USA, respectively.
