Thank you for asking about my most recent book, "Herbal ABC's - The Foundation Of Herbal Medicine". "Herbal ABC's" grew out of a series of intensive herb classes I teach herbal students that focuses on herbs and how they are used by body systems. I realize everyone does not have the time or money to attend such classes, and I want to bring herbal medicine to everyone. Additionally, the book allows people to have a reference on their shelf that can be returned to as often as needed. I would warn anyone considering this book, that it is for the serious herb student. If you want to really understand herbal medicine from a western point of view this is a great book. It is also very useful for health care professionals or Dr. Mom. However, if you are simply looking for historical data, and a quick easy read, this is not the book for you. It is dense with herbal knowledge, and although I try to make things as easy as possible, there are medical words that you might have to look up sometimes. This is a book that is being used by herb schools and practitioners. That being said, don't let me scare you away from using it either. You can check out the book on Amazon to see if it is a good fit or not. A big chunk of the book can be read in their "look inside the book" feature. Both my books have this feature on Amazon.
