Publishers Text

As the natural precursors of today's pharmaceuticals, herbs can reduce, even eliminate, dependence on medications. Arranged by ailment, herbal alternatives are offered for more than 500 prescription and over the counter drugs. For example, 6 milligrams of the herb ephedra can replace Sudafed for cold symptoms. More than 100 ailments are covered, and an encyclopedia details more than 70 medicinal herbs. The authors are thoroughly versed in herbal medicines and they provide accurate advice about which drugs and herbs work - and which don't. They point out when a drug works best or when a herb is better as a supplement to, rather than a replacement for, a drug. But the main result of their study and experience is that people don't have to rely on conventional drugs; herbs can be an all-natural way to maintain health.
