Herb Toxicities & Drug Interactions: A Formula Approach

Noting the need for clear and detailed information on Chinese herbal medicine, Jennes presents a volume (a reprint from 2004) for practitioners, students, pharmacologists, and researchers. He covers the potential for toxicity in general, types of interactions, and medicines that have been noted as harmful. The bulk of the book comprises 100 formulas and their medicinal components.Organized by Chinese name, the formulas are accompanied by information on potential for toxicity and interactions with other medicine, category, functions, indications, and dosage. Four indexes--by Pinyin formula, English forsmula, Pinyin herb, and Latin herb--are provided. The included CD-ROM is searchable by formula name, herb name, and class of Western drug. Jennes practices traditional Chinese medicine at a clinic in Colorado. Annotation ©2006 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
