Occasionally, there is even a purely irresponsible statement, such as citing a single study that might indicate that coumarin alone is not an anti-coagulant. You can’t pass off that kind of statement in just one paragraph.
There is a clear description of medicine cabinet terms, clarifying the difference between say a fomentation and a poultice.
The section titled Herbalist’s Laboratory is heavy on measurements and math. There are some annoyances. For example, there is a photo of a bottle labeled poison ivy relief liniment on page 202, but no pointer to the recipe which is on page 263. Recipe names are sometimes too stupid to bear – Bonk & Boo Boo Salve, Barking Dogs Salve (for tired feet), Bum Bum Relief Suppository, and so forth. But the preparation methods are clearly described and recommended solvents tables are excellent.
The last section, Herbal Treatment Plans takes categories of complaints and offers multiple recipes with a short explanation of why their actions differ slightly one from another. And then there is a final inconspicuous but important list of practical lifestyle suggestions to complement the herbals. ( )
