The Handbook of Clinically Tested Herbal Remedies, Volumes 1 & 2: The Definitive Scientific Reference for Evidence-Based Herbal Medicine, Botanical Clinical Trials & Natural Remedies

Not all herbal remedies are created equal. This is the book that proves the difference.

In a world flooded with health claims, miracle cures, and herbal products of questionable value, The Handbook of Clinically Tested Herbal Remedies stands alone as the most comprehensive, scientifically rigorous, and authoritative reference ever compiled on the subject. This landmark two-volume set — edited by Marilyn Barrett, PhD, and reviewed by leading physicians, pharmacologists, and researchers from institutions including NIH, GlaxoSmithKline, the US Pharmacopeia, and the American Herbal Pharmacopoeia — is the gold standard for anyone who takes herbal medicine seriously.

This comprehensive handbook, comprising two volumes of over 700 pages each, provides a detailed snapshot of 160 herbal products that have been tested in clinical trials, presented in an easy-to-read, at-a-glance format. Each botanical profile contains a summary section with tables, text and references, followed by product information and clinical trial details — including an evaluation of the strength of evidence and the full therapeutic context.
