Some medicinal herbs can be effective when eaten raw, brewed into a tea, or powdered and made into capsules. Others, such as ginkgo biloba, bilberry, kava-kava, milk thistle, and St. John's Wort are most beneficial if their primary active ingredient is clearly identified and concentrated. This book addresses the standardization process and stresses the importance of the quality, purity, and consistency of natural herbs. Explained are the benefits of selecting standardized herbal products and an in-depth discussion of the top 20 standardized herbal supplements is provided. A dosage guide along with therapeutic cross-references and a list of precautions gives the consumer important information about herbal integrity in this useful volume.
