Review

"Skidmore-Roth has put together a revised, concise and comprehensive evidence-based guide.The sense of history and traditional use of the herbs makes for interesting reading, but this book's real value lies in its accessibility. This is a useful resource for clinicians looking to advise or check compatibility with other treatments." Nursing Standard, October 2009
