Reader Reviews
There are a lot of books similar to this one, with alphabetically arranged diseases and symptoms for sections, followed by passages on the kinds of herbs that might be helpful, and why. Of all the ones I've seen, this one is my favorite. Duke has a very engaging writing style, and the book is well suited for browsing or reading cover to cover. He seems appropriately cautious in some of the suggestions he makes, but I agree with other reviewers concerns that this is not always the case. I cannot speak from the perspective of an MD or an herbalist, because I am neither of those. Speaking for myself, I wouldn't try a lot of the potential remedies presented in this book, and I disagree with some of the suggestions contained in it. Nevertheless, there is plenty of information that I did agree with and overall I'd say this book is wonderful to read and learn from. Duke's experience and authority on the subject matter is very impressive, and that is reflected very well in this book.
