Description

"Herbs and Natural Supplements: An Evidence Based Guide" is the first Australian book of its kind, presenting evidence-based information on the 100 most popular herbs, nutrients and food supplements used across Australia. Comprehensive in coverage, it offers reliable data in a consistent format. Organised by monographs, each herb or nutrient listed includes information such as daily intake, main actions/indications, adverse reactions, contraindications and precautions, safety in pregnancy, and more. The text also includes a comprehensive chapter on drug herb interactions, exploring the fundamental principles involved and a unique system outlining how to use this information in practice. Additionally, there is a chapter on complementary medicine and perioperative care, which is unique. Designed as a concise user-friendly guide, this book will serve as an authoritative and reliable desk reference for students and practitioners of traditional and complementary medicine alike.
