Herbs
of Choice - by Varro Tyler, PhD.
Dr. Tyler, another HRF Advisory Board Member, literally wrote
the book on the scientific study of herbs. Herbs of Choice
provides a scientifically focused rundown on leading herbs.
Here's what Booknews has to say about one of our favorite author's
latest books:
"Ignoring folkloric or putative uses or unproven
remedies, Tyler (pharmacognosy, School of Pharmacy and Pharmacal
Sciences, Purdue U.) presents current factual information on
the pharmacology, therapeutics, and toxicology of the beneficial
crude drugs of plant origin (herbs) and their common preparations
(phytomedicinals). For general readers as well as physicians,
pharmacists, and other health professionals. Paper edition (895-5),
$17.95. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or."
