Recenzje

"I have reviewed many books on the topic of phytomedicine and what sets this text apart from others is its completeness, from the basic science of phytomedicine development, its uses in therapy, and the cultural aspects of what is deemed by many as traditional medicine. This is the first edition and will need periodic updating." --Doody
