Evidence-Based Herbal Medicine is a pocket-sized handbook designed to provide practical, objective information on the use of herbal medicine in today's health care. This well-organized and easy to reference handbook covers each herb with a summary of clinical trials as well as a rating of efficacy, evidence, and safety levels.

Evaluations of each herb include: uses, pharmacology; clinical trials, adverse effects, preparations and dosages, interactions and cautions, analyses of controlled studies, and references. Provided in the appendix are reviews of other herbal medicinal resources, as well as a section on nonherbal dietary supplements.

This book is the perfect companion to Herbal Medicinals, A Clinician's Guide.
