Synopsis This extensively researched reference book is produced by the American Pharmaceutical Association and written by a medical writer whose previous work for the Association was the PARENT’S GUIDE TO CHILDHOOD MEDICATIONS. A strictly scientific look at hundreds of herbs and other natural substances, this volume lists origin, common usage, forms available, and dosage for home use. Each listing contains a section called "Will It Work for You?" which documents scientific studies and other available information and whether efficacy is confirmed or disproved. The last section of each listing cites possible dangers or side effects for each remedy. This guide does not set out to promote the use of natural medicines but to be an informative resource for anyone looking to further understand the nature of herbal and other natural medicines.
