| Summary |
Viewing herbs from a scientific standpoint, the authors of Tyler's Honest Herbal assess our most important herbs based on available scientific information. Each write-up includes descriptive information on the source of the plant, its traditional uses, and an evaluation of the relevant and current literature which helps support or disprove intended uses of the plant. This new edition of Tyler's classic The Honest Herbal provides you with the following features not found in any of the previous editions: research and information about cat's claw, celery, garcinia, grape seed, kava, pygeum, and wild yam; what you need to know about the latest clinical trials on many bestselling herbs, including black cohosh, echinacea, garlic, ginkgo, ginseng, St. John's wort, and saw palmetto; and hundreds of new, supporting references from scientific studies on herbs and other dietary supplements |
