"I count it as one of the best herb books written in recent years. In the spirit of Planetary Herbology, it integrates in an easy-flowing way complex systems and concepts from four great herbal traditions, 1) traditional Western herbal medicine ... 2) the latest findings on herbs, current research, herb-drug interactions, etc. ... 3) with practical dietary and herbal applications for specific conditions and systems of the body, it dips into the deep wellspring of Ayurvedic medicine imbued with its ancient psychological, spiritual and constitutional approach ... and 4) Traditional Chinese Medicine." - Michael Tierra.
