About this product

Product Information

By one estimate, Americans are spending upward of $3 billion a year on herbs and herb products. More and more people are turning to herbal medicine for solutions to their health concerns because they believe that herbs are gentler, safer, and more affordable than pharmaceuticals. Yet how can they be sure of what really works and what is right for them? Despite the glut of information on herbs, these remedies have rarely been compared objectively with drugs. That's just what consumers need, so they can rest assured that the decisions they make will help them get well-- not harm them. The Herbal Drugstore sifts through all the studies, facts, and opinions to provide objective, concise profiles of more than 280 drugs and drug categories, along with their herbal alternatives. For each health problem, you can weigh the functions and side effects of the most common pharmaceutical treatments against the benefits and cautions of the best-known herbal remedies. You also get: * Accurate dosage instructions for using herbs safely and effectively * Essential information about potential herb-drug and herb-herb interactions * A comprehensive chart that lists drugs and their herbal alternatives side by side for easy reference * In-depth profiles of nearly 60 herbs, with explanations of herb sources, uses, and safety issues * A shopper's guide for choosing among various herb forms and brands * Detailed instructions-- for making your own herbal remedies * A resource directory-- of herbal products, practitioners, and publications Whether you're a newcomer to herbal medicine or you've been using herbs for years, The Herbal Drugstore arms you with clear, concise, impartial information that puts you in control of your health. Now you can feel confident that when choosing between herbal and pharmaceutical therapies, you have the power of The Herbal Drugstore behind you.

    Why choose Herbal alternatives

    I was looking for alternatives to prescription medicines that had negative side effects or did not work well with my current medication. This book gives me choices and things to try. My family physician recommends vitamins and supplements. The information in this book can help me and my physician make an informed decision. It is hard when you have multiple conditions(illnesses) where you can't take just any medication. Sometimes you don't want the side effects from a prescription medicine however, you can't always just try any thing with out knowing the consequences. This is a good book for education yourself and your doctor on alternatives. I like the fact that this book contain lots of information on different illnesses or condition. I purchased this book from ebay to say on the ...

    The Herbal Drugstore

    I really LOVE this book, and I have a lot of books on herbal medicine. What I like about the herbal drugstore is how it gives both the typical prescription drugs for common ailments, and the herbal alternatives. It also describes how the herbs are supposed to work (if it is known.) That alone sets this book apart from most other herbal references. This would be a terrific first book on the subject for anyone's home library and I think it adds a lot to my shelf on herbs. There are good drawings of the herbs, sections on vitamins, excercises, nutrition, combining herbs with prescription medicines (some can interfere; tell your physician) and much more. Yet the book has a very well-designed format, clear print, good organization and is chatty and readable. What more could you ask for? ...
