This book is another truly fantastic find in the world of herbal medicine!  With 610 pages and 712 herbal remedies the serious herbalist couldn’t find a better stand-alone resource on herbal medicine.  The authors, Linda B. White, M.D., Steven Foster, HerbsforHealth staff, and nine other contributing writers–nine highly accredited doctors and medical and herbal professionals–have given the world a new kind of herbal remedies book.  Not only will you find a vast array of herbal remedies, but alongside them is printed the most common standard medical remedies and advice given for the same ailment.  This allows the reader to compare side-by-side, what he might hear from the family doctor and mainstream medical professionals and the less touted information on natural alternatives.  Never before in one herbal book, have I ever seen so much and so varied information.  Even my personal favorite herbalist, James A. Duke, Ph.D., author of The Green Pharmacy, reported A rich and rewarding resource for those who want the safest and best treatments for their most pressing health concerns.

The first section gives the herbalist all the groundwork needed to get started with definitions of herbal medicine, and information to help the reader understand, choose, create, use and purchase needed herbal remedies.  Following is another section which is an at-a-glance index of the listed remedies for each included ailment.  This section is basically a condensed version of the next section which is the main body of the book.  It includes all the authors’ known and chosen remedies for 98 of the most common medical complaints alphabetized by ailment for easy reference.  For each condition, the author includes a brief introduction and definition of the ailment listed, a fairly extensive listing of the types and names of pharmaceuticals most commonly prescribed, an ordered group of herbs and recommended herbal remedies and several other helpful hints interjected throughout.  To wrap up, the authors take a deeper look at what they describe as 58 of the most commonly used herbs.  For each of the herbs listed, the reader will also find other known common names, regional sources, parts used, forms available, uses and cautions.

Another great discovery for my herbal library, The Herbal Drugstore (Rodale, ISBN 1-57954-705-2) is indeed one of my new favorites and will no doubt be one of my most loved and used resources!  I would highly recommend this to any herbalist regardless of caliber or experience level.  No other herbal resource, I own so far, has the amount of information I can get from just this one book.  The serious and hobby herbalists alike should all have a copy of this one around.

I ordered this from NolaGoldIncense.com. I haven’t got high in years. People getting NolaGold have been telling me how SuperNova is the thing now. So I’m gonna test it out and see what it’s about. Customer Service said you can’t get a fresher pot anywhere else.

Overview

We have no shortage of overblown claims on the dietary supplement market. Day after day, the average consumer is confronted with millions of products that promise significant weight loss, a more beautiful body, and all without any effort on the part of the dieter.

That’s why it’s refreshing to read about Herbal Slim®. This product, by Nature’s Way®, is an herbal formula thought to supplement a diet and exercise routine. Together, all three practices are well known as healthy, sustainable weight loss tools that can lead beyond fat loss to general wellness and longevity. The unassuming advertising behind Herbal Slim® would seem to prove that Nature’s Way® recognizes the truth about weight loss: it’s up to the individual to muster up the willpower and courage it takes to make a real change.

Ingredients at a Glance

Herbal Slim® contains Licorice, Dandelion, Beet, Kelp, Burdock, Parsley, Siberian Eleuthero, Fennel, Black Walnut, Papaya, and Hawthorn.

Ingredients in Focus

Licorice Root serves a soothing function, but some research has suggested that pregnant women ought to avoid taking it.

Dandelion Root is used as an appetite stimulant and digestive aid.

Kelp is rich in iodine and may aid in maintaining thyroid function, which effects metabolism.

Siberian Eleuthero, is an adaptogen linked to increasing endurance and memory, promoting ant-inflammatory action, and providing chemo- and radiological protection.

Fennel seed, aside from being delicious, is included to promote digestion and “support a healthy appetite.”

Hawthorn Berry may improve heart function and may prevent the shortness of breath and fatigue associated with heart failure. In addition, Hawthorn Berry may combat chest pain, cholesterol, and perhaps even high blood pressure.

Positives

•    No stimulants.

•    Modest proposal and advertisement.

•    Promotes healthy living.

Negatives

•    Does not contain a fat-burner – and safe ones do exist.

•    Doesn’t necessarily stand out and recommend itself.

Final Thoughts

Herbal Slim® is a simple formula that could easily be incorporated into a regular exercise routine and a balanced eating plan. It wouldn’t even necessarily preclude supplementing with a proven, safe fat-burner, if the consumer is interested. In short, Herbal Slim® appears to be a safe and sensible option. Just don’t buy it expecting it to do all the work for you, because you’re still going to have to live well. If you want a product that is more helpful, try a supplement with a proven fat-burner and an ingredient to help control cravings.
