Reviews for Medicinal Herbs in Primary Care: An Evidence-Guided Reference for Healthcare Providers

This textbook accomplishes the goal of providing a quick resource of evidence-guided medicinal herb therapy for many healthcare providers unsure about their knowledge or skills in herbalism for particular diseases. Other detailed texts, online information, and apps are available, but the disease tables and herb monographs in this book provide a quicker way to reference helpful information for healthcare providers.
