Drawing on his experiences in international practice as a British-trained, New Zealand-based physician, Pinn sorts out anecdotal from scientific support for the traditional use of herbal plants increasingly being integrated with mainstream medicine. In this revised, updated collection of articles drawn from past issues of the Australian Family Physician, the author discusses the safety and efficacy of botanicals, then surveys their applications from cardiology to neuropsychiatry. Appendices include reference sources and dosage information.
