The New
Healing Herbs
(Rodale, 2001)
“The most authoritative and user-friendly herb guide
currently available. If one were to have only one book on
medicinal herbs, this should be it.”
—Utne Reader
“A must-read. Answers every question you ever had about
herbs and their medicinal value. Explores herbal folklore,
science, uses, caveats, and side effects, with historical
anecdotes and gardening tips.”
—Modern Maturity
“Breaks new ground in the literature on self-care with
herbs. Outlines when herbal self-care is appropriate and
when it is not. Castleman does a good job of putting the
possible dangers of herbs in perspective. Strikes a
refreshing balance between traditional herbalism and modern
herbal science.”
—Natural Health
“Demonstrates Castleman’s love of herbs and willingness to
do research beyond the call of duty. Describes the
boundaries of appropriate self-care. Balances tradition
with modern scientific research. Written with flair, humor,
and insight.”
