Overview
Clinical Botanical Medicine, 2nd Edition provides clinicians with comprehensive, revised, and expanded information on a broad range of diseases and conditions for which botanical medicine is effective. Special attention is given to toxicity and drug-herb interactions to ensure that the clinician is fully informed about the safety and efficacy of each botanical. Additionally, the book discusses the interactions between the human body, pharmaceutical drugs, and plants, and explores the multifaceted nature of botanical medicine.
Clinical Botanical Medicine, 2nd Edition is comprised of updated articles originally published in the journal Alternative and Complementary Therapies which illustrate the depth and complexity of botanical medicine’s role in healing, and demonstrate how Western science-based understanding of herbs can benefit from acknowledging an approach that treats herbs as a whole, living part of healing.
