I think it completes any collection on medicinal herb literature since it gives a recent, scientific explanation of WHY components of certain plants help certain conditions, without suggesting that it is only the isolated chemicals within plants that is therapeutic. Has a wonderful section on the organic chemistry which I find incredibly useful, since most books merely mention an active compound without showing/explaining exactly what it is and how it works in the body. Likewise most chemistry books do not go into any depth about compounds found in herbs, so this book is a great bridge between herbalism and the chemistry of medicine. I have taken an introductory year of organic chemistry and biochemistry so the information is very digestible- but for those who have not, I think this introduction to the most important ideas of organic chemistry and biochemistry as they relate to herbs may be a great gateway. There are numerous videos on each subject (like bonding or molecular structure) on youtube that can be used to supplement the information.Even if one were to ignore the entire chemistry section, the rest of the book is well organized and full of very useful information, such as dosing, cross references of common/Latin plant names, explanations of common ailments, and a section on how to make remedies using the plants. Very highly recommended. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Herbal Doctors Guide for the average persons Home use *by J***O on Reviewed in the United States on July 3, 2018* I am a greenhorn (novice) on all this Herbal stuff. I was taught to keep an open mind, and at least try. So when I ordered the book I had no idea on how complete, informative and sometimes big fancy words usage I was in store for. I knew I was in for some learning, when I unpackaged the book and it overwhelmed me with information. I didnt give up, I kept reading, and it all seemed to make scene. The information is well laid out, and I can usually find exactly what symptom or illness I am looking for, along with suggestions for remedies. I may have been greenhorn on the Herbal stuff, but after browsing thru the book I feel that I can make correct informed decisions on a herbal remedy, and I can even lookup the correct dosage. I DO NOT regret buying this book. If you want to be well informed and make good decisions, buy the book, and then put some effort into to educating yourself. If your the lazy type and want everything done for you, see a Herbal Specialist and it will cost you a lot more than the price of this book. I rate it as a BUY WELL WORTH THE MONEY, just dont get intimidated by all the big words. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This book is great for all *by P***S on Reviewed in the United States on May 2, 2018* I am an MD, it is hard to find scientific info to expand treatment options in a modern scientific way without being overwhelmed with non scientific absurdities. This book is great for all. Those interested just in natural healing can learn how herbs actually work, conversely those who only use modern pharma can learn the evidence and chemistry of plants/herbs --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/99811747-medical-herbalism-the-science-and-practice-of-herbal-medicine-illustrated](https://www.desertcart.us/products/99811747-medical-herbalism-the-science-and-practice-of-herbal-medicine-illustrated) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-09-28*
