"I call this book my "Herb Bible" because I always start with the Green Pharmacy when looking for at-home remedies. This book is in no way disdainful of Western medicine, but gives a host of low-cost alternatives for treatments you may be able to employ at home. There are many reasons I love this book including the author's easy, down-to-earth writing style. The book is organized alphabetically by ailment, so you can easily look up "headache", "bunions", "infertility" or "cold and flu". You can also utilize the index to look up uses for a specific herb or remedy. Dr. Duke organizes the remedies for specific ailments based on their purported effectiveness. He also talks about the reasons why specific medicinal herbs and folk remedies may be effective. Essentially, this guide gives a lot of good information, with a healthy dose of common sense (please read the introduction before embarking on your herbal journey), so that folks can make an informed decision about using herbal remedies."
"After an introduction chapter on how to use herbs, James Duke has compiled an extensive alphabetical listing of ailments and recommendations for herbal treatments. He includes everything from 'Asthma' to 'Diabetes' to 'Warts' to 'Constipation ' ... it is very comprehensive. There is repetition (garlic is an effective remedy for a lot of things), but the way it is set up makes the repetition helpful. The same remedy may be listed in 'Virus' and 'Tonsilitis', for example. Rather than reading the book front to back, I read the introduction, the conclusion, and then skimmed through the specific ailments. This book makes an excellent reference book to keep on the shelf to refer to as needed.
The author explains clearly why these herbal remedies are so little used and known in the US. At the same time, I appreciate that he is not trying to fight against mainstream doctors. He recommends discussing any herbal treatments with your doctor.
I would recommend reading the end of the book first. He talks about his background and how he grew to love working with medicinal plants. It helps you realize that he really may be one of the foremost authorities in the world. The writing is only a little 'preachy', and he comes across as a nice, easygoing guy."
"I LOVE THIS BOOK!!!!!!!!! I am in 6th grade, and it still captivates me!!!!!!!! i have a copy at home, and look at it at leaast once a week. I am now enlightened to the great possibilities of herbs and their medicinal properties (my 5th grade report). A truly wonderful read."
