Inside this book: Discussions of the author's actual experience with plants, recounting his real-world findings in the clinical environment. Accurate doses for herbal therapies that dispute many of the "accepted" doses that are considered too conservative to be effective. Coverage of remedies that use lesser-known plants not commonly seen in recent studies. Eclectic herbalism, a highly effective form of medicine, introduced and taught so that it can easily be used in practice. Concise, clinically relevant coverage of tried-and-true applications of plant medicine in a wide variety of categories, such as alteratives, skin remedies, astringents, diuretics, etc. Anecdotal evidence based on the author's and Dr. Bastyr's findings with specific examples of results that can be expected from the use of certain plants. An emphasis on practical advice rather than scientific evidence, in the true tradition of herbal medicine.
