Herbal Remedies
By Andrew Chevallier. The last decade has seen a rapid increase in the
publication of books on herbal medicine. However, it is rare to find
one, such as this, that incorporates details of over-the-counter
remedies, written for the general public by a practicing herbal
practitioner. Andrew Chevallier brings to this book years of experience
in clinical practice and book authorship (he is the author of the
Encyclopaedia of Medicinal Plants, also published by Dorling
Kindersley). Andrew is a well-known and respected member of the herbal
fraternity in the UK, having been in the past President of the National
Institute of Medical Herbalists (2007) (pdf)
