American Herbal Products Association's Botanical Safety Handbook

Item received in a perfect condition

This book is full of useful information. If you are an all natural type of person who uses herbs to improve your health you should get this book to stay safe. It is a science based book that describes side effect and potential dangers of different herbs. It lists contradictions between herbs and has every herb you can think of. The only negative is it list the Latin names only so you will have to look up the Latin name to look up the herb in this book. We bought our book used and it was in excellent condition. I recommend this seller.

Plusieurs livres existent pour identifier et consommer/se soigner avec les végétaux. Je trouve que ce livre est un excellent complément pour s'assurer de la sécurité des végétaux chez l'humain. Ça permet une double validation, ce qui n'est pas trop lorsqu'il s'agit de consommer des végétaux sauvages.

I gave American Herbal Products Associations Botanical Safety Hankbook a 5 star review even though the spine is weak and made of cheapish material. I was expecting a better quality book for the price, it is expensive.This is a second book order. I returned the first one because the spine was coming apart It's a heavy, big book weighing almost 7 pounds with 1035 pages A lot of hours spent on the internet researching herb contraindications with prescription medicines. Not finding much of anything. This all-in-one- book has all the research evidence-based, more than 500 species of herbs ,and so much more that I couldn't find on my own. I started my apothecary, growing and purchasing herbs, learning how to make medicines etc.Purchased many books by well-known authors to compare their knowledge and information on herbs. Knowing there are alternatives to prescription medications is a relief.

Super beau livre. Très satisfaite

I heard about this book from a herbal school in which I am enrolled. It is edited by the American Herbalist Guild. It has all sorts of safety information concerning different herbs, AND it has all the relevant, appropriate studies on herb-drug interactions. Since so many people take a medication or two of some sort, it is a great resource to double-check that a herb is not going to counteract the medication. It was helpful when I had a question about Skullcap and hepatic function. If you work with herbs, and are formulating for friends or family, I would recommend you get this book.
