The A-Z of Modern Herbalism: A Comprehensive Guide to Practical Herbal Therapy by Simon Mills
This book is the revised and updated first trade paperback edition of the successful hardback published in 1985. The book aims to provide a concise reference source for both general and professional readers. The work covers herbs in terms of their functional effects on the body, symptoms and diseases - the herbalist's approach and therapeutic classifications of remedies (e.g. astringent, bitter, diuretic, laxative, anti-inflammatory or circulatory stimulant). There is an extensive system of cross-referencing which the reader is encouraged to use.
