This new edition features additional scientific data on herbs that will enable you to make wise, informed choices about the benefits and risks of herbs currently on the market.Viewing herbs from a scientific standpoint, the authors assess herbs based on available scientific information and include the latest details on advocacy literature and the new regulatory environment.

This new edition of Tyler's classic Honest Herbal provides you with all of the following features not found in any of the previous editions, such as:
the voice and experience of medicinal plant specialist Steven Foster, one of the most respected authorities in herbal medicine
research and information about cat's claw, celery, garcinia, grape seed, kava, pygeum, and wild yam
what you need to know about the latest clinical trials on many best-selling herbs, including black cohosh, echinacea, garlic, ginko, ginseng, St. John's wort, and saw palmetto
hundreds of new, supporting references from scientific studies on herbs and other dietary supplements
Containing candid evaluations and insight into the current and thriving herbal market, this guide also provides you with a complete summary chart that allows you to quickly access the risks and benefits of the herbs discussed.
