Wonder Herbs

This book explores the properties and health benefits of three important Adaptogen Herbs and introduces the reader to its research proven uses in medicine. The health claims made on Rhodiola rosea, Eleuthero (Eleutherococcus senticosus) and Jiaogulan (Gynostermma pentaphllum) are substantiated in detail by extensive scientific references.

This book is not too technical for the average reader, but detailed enough for the medical practitioner interested in becoming acquainted with these herbs. The book details history, the role of herbs in maintaining health and fighting disease, bioactive components, typical doses, side effects and toxicity. This book remains a great reference on these three herbs.
