Principles & Practices of Naturopathic Botanical Medicine is a revised educational textbook with updated research findings on the most common herbs and plants that feature in botanical medical courses and clinical practice. Designed specifically as a comprehensive resource for core courses in botanical medicine at naturopathic medicine colleges and conventional medical or pharmacology schools that offer complementary and integrative health-care courses, the information contained within this textbook combines the best traditional herbal wisdom with the most recent evidence-based research. These traditions include Western herbalism, energetics, and eclecticism, as well as Ayurvedic botanical medicine. Beyond these traditions, the emphasis is on contemporary research in phytochemistry and pharmacognosy. No other textbook on botanical medicine offers this reach into different but equally successful herbal approaches to healing.
