DESCRIPTION:
Excellent clinical reference Eric L., Yarnell This surprisingly little book is quite useful as a practitioner. It is concise and, on the whole, squares well with my experience and other reliable reports about the actions, uses and safety of herbs. I also appreciate the sheer breadth of coverage. Though Skenderi is a pharmacist and not a practitioner, he has done a magnificent job of capturing the critical essence of each herb. Rather than trying to capt. Editor, Medical Herbalism journal Paul Bergner An excellent quick reference for the professional herbalist. It is in the same niche as other quick reference books such as Potter's Encylcopedia or Lust's Herb book, but far superior to either, because 1) it has many more herbs 2) it has up-to-date and accurate details on plant chemistry 3) the author has mined the wealth of herbal literature in German, Italian, and French 4) it contains reasoned judgements. Henriette Kress said Very useful for practitioners. The Herbal Vade Mecum is a very good materia medica for the practising herbalist. Uses are given, dosages aren't, so you need to know your plants before you use this book.Beginners might not do all that much with it, except for the teensy little fact that they'd get solid practical sensible cautions for the listed plants instead of the usual overly theoretical overcautious ones.Were I a beginner, I'd buy it
