There's still a lot to learn about the healing power of plants, James Duke points out, but what we do know is already prodigious. Much of that knowledge is gathered in The Green Pharmacy, an A-to-Z guide to that relies on plant-based medicines to cure what ails us. Between the listings, Duke crams personal anecdotes from a lifetime of studying herbs, berries, and bark. For example, he relates how he worried about telling a pregnant niece that ginger could help alleviate her morning sickness because he'd learned from a pharmacologist that ginger could also induce miscarriage. Then he solved the mystery: he'd recommended ginger tea, which contains about 250 milligrams of ginger. The Chinese, he learned, use about 80 times that much to end pregnancies--another testimony to the amazing versatility of these natural medicines. Book Description: From a top world authority, the ultimate guide to using herbs to cure and prevent disease.

Review: User friendly and packed with wisdom This guide to herbalism and healing is simply wonderful. I highly recommend it to anyone who is searching for holistic and natural methods to dealing with medical problems. The ability to search by ailment or useful herb is very nice. A must for any naturalists bookshelf. Jess Review: An excellent natural remedy book! This book has a lot of useful information about natural remedies and even how to make herbal tea yourself. Illnesses are listed in alphabetical order with recommended natural remedies.

The Index has herbs etc..listed also in alphabetical order with page numbers for location. Dr. Duke does provide words of caution where he feels it is neccessary. I recommend this book. The price is very affordable and the book has an extensive list of natural remedies.This book is also very well organised. Review: complete herbal This is the best book I could find and read concerning the herbal concoctions on the market today,but, make sure you get this book, not one of the many so named "green" books, there are many books out on this subject and some are very very similarily named.This book has almost all of the herbs listed and uses for them.I highly recommend it to herbal health persons.
