Title: Herbal Medicines: A Guide for Health Care Professionals
Description:
Pages: 432

First published in 1996, this book stands as a landmark reference work on herbal medicines for

health professionals, particularly pharmacists. The authors are all affliliated with the

Department of Pharmacognosy, The School of Pharmacy, University of London, and the book was

commissioned by the Royal Pharmaceutical Society of Great Britain in response to the many

questions they were fielding on herbal medicines from practicing pharmacists. This is not a

book that will interest most lay people as it is quite technical in its approach to the topic.

The book, however, is very readable, despite being technical. It is organized around 141

monographs on individual medicinal plants. Each monograph includes species, synonyms, parts

used, availability of other pharmaceutical monographs, legal category of product (in Great

Britain), constituents, food use, herbal use, pharmacological actions, side effects & toxicity,

contraindications & warnings, a pharmaceutical comment from the authors, and references. The

monograph sections on pharmacological actions summarize both animal and human studies. In

addition to the 141 monographs on individual medicinal plants, the book has a number of quick

reference tables, e.g. potential drug/herb interactions, listings of ingredients by their

primary activity, e.g. cardioactive, laxative, diuretic, hypotensive, hypertensive,

anticoagulant (etc.), and listing of ingredients by constituents, e.g. coumarins, flavonoids,

saponins (etc.). The book begins with a list of potential adverse effects of the herbal

ingredients listed in the monographs and another list of herbal ingredients that is is best to

avoid or use with caution during pregnancy. The book is well-referenced throughout, including a

listing of general references at the beginning of the book.
