This work is a comprehensive and critical exploration of the use of plant medicines through two thousand years of history, from Dioscorides to the present day. It follows each of 27 herbs through a wide range of key sources from European, Arabic, and American traditions including Greek, Roman, and Renaissance texts. A rich discussion of the historical texts is balanced with current applications and research. Each illustrated monograph contains information on species, identification, and botanical description; characterization and medicinal use drawn from featured herbals; consideration of traditional therapeutic approaches; current evidence on pharmacological constituents; review of evidence on safety; recommendations for internal and external uses; prescribing; and dosage.
