Review: This is an excellent addition to my reference library. I am a serious self-taught herbalist who favours TCM above all other herbal systems, as their diagnostic approach is brilliant and I've had life-saving results following their concepts. ( If you're interested, get Peter Holmes' stellar "Energetics of Western Herbs" series and the TCM Diagnosis Study Guide by Qiao Yi to start). That said, I'm always open to new ideas and I want to beef up my Western herbal resources. This is a no-frills Encyclopedia with all entries packed in a massive index format. Ailments, herbs, famous practioners, and formula ideas are all merged together in a single A-Z index. I am thrilled with the sheer volume of information and personality really like the condensed format. Not a good choice for those who like illustrations. And of course not all entries give depth, so I always crosscheck with my other books when designing a new formula (especially Holmes, who provides phenomenal information in the series I mentioned). I also love the broad scope of this book, as it pulls from different practices instead of only focusing on one. A definite gem for the serious herbalist. Also quite beneficial if you're just looking for ideas of natural remedies to try.

Review: There is a lot of very useful information in this book, and Thomas Bartram was a forerunner to what is available today. I should learn from my mistakes though and bought an up to date book on Herbal Medicine as some things have been superceded by further research. However, at the price I paid, I cannot really complain!!
