Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Love this book... Comment: I had to buy this book as a textbook for a mentorship I am doing with an herbalist in NYC. It is thorough and well-written. It does not discount western medicine or trivialize the role that herbs can play in treatment. It presents a very well-rounded, well-researched, holistic approach to health. Customer Rating: Summary: Excellent Comment: This book is for advanced level, a lot of chemistry for people who like to dig in deeper and understand plants and their performance from structural point of view. I like it, very valuable information.

Customer Rating: Summary: Great Book! Comment: I am so enthralled with this book. I'm using it as a text book...taking notes, etc. I got into medicine because I don't only want to know "what" but, also "why". This book brings phytotherapy and mainstream American medicine together and makes herbalism make sense to a practitioner of pharmaceuticals... I love this book!! More Reviews
