Product ReviewsHerbal Drugstore : The Best Natural Alternatives to Over-the-Counter by Steven Foster, Linda B. White and Herbs for Health Staff (2000, Hardcover, Revised edition)

Why choose Herbal alternatives

I was looking for alternatives to prescription medicines that had negative side effects or did not work well with my current medication.
This book gives me choices and things to try. My family physician recommends vitamins and supplements. The information in this book can help me and my physician make an informed decision. It is hard when you have multiple conditions(illnesses) where you can't take just any medication. Sometimes you don't want the side effects from a prescription medicine however, you can't always just try any thing with out knowing the consequences.

This is a good book for education yourself and your doctor on alternatives. I like the fact that this book contain lots of information on different illnesses or condition. I purchased this book from ebay to say on the cost from the local book store and I am glad I did.Read full review...

The Herbal Drugstore

I really LOVE this book, and I have a lot of books on herbal medicine. What I like about the herbal drugstore is how it gives both the typical prescription drugs for common ailments, and the herbal alternatives. It also describes how the herbs are supposed to work (if it is known.) That alone sets this book apart from most other herbal references. This would be a terrific first book on the subject for anyone's home library and I think it adds a lot to my shelf on herbs.
There are good drawings of the herbs, sections on vitamins, excercises, nutrition, combining herbs with prescription medicines (some can interfere; tell your physician) and much more. Yet the book has a very well-designed format, clear print, good organization and is chatty and readable. What more could you ask for? If I could give this book 10 stars, I would. It is THAT good,Read full review...

Best money I've spent on a book, in years!

If you're just thinking about trying a few herbs, or wanting to know more about an ailment and its remedies, this book is a MUST reference.

The Herbal Drugstore by Linda B. White, Steven Foster

My family and I practice Natural Health. We use natural herbs for remedies and prefer not to use synthetic drugs because most of the time, the side effects of using pharmeceutical drugs, are worst than the original illness!! I've heard of this book from several of my friends (who also use natural remedies). I especially love the section that informs you of the natural remedy that coincides with the prescription drug. I wish I could have purchased the more recent print of the book, however, this is enough information to get me started on our road to Natural, healthy remedies that are good for you and provide relief from your illness. More power to Natural Remedies!!Read full review...

Herbal Remedies in SIMPLE terms

This book is written in everyday terms so it doesn't feel as if you are reading a text book BUT isn't written to make you feel like a dummy either. It has not just herbal treatments but also "regular" over the counter & presciption drugs and their effects and the interactions. If you are just looking into Natural treatments this a great book to get started with. If you already are studying herbal treatments this is a welcome addition to your personal library as it is laid out in easy reading/easy finding formation. Everyday hints that we all need reminders about are extra helpful. LOVE IT!!Read full review...

In My Own Words

Basically, the book has been an enjoyment. I love anything that envolves natural health and natural cures. The book is very informative. The only negative aspect about the book in MY CASE is that the text is so small. But, that was it, other than that I am very happy with the book. I found out about this book through a friend of mine. I had to get it. I recommend this book to anyone who is concerned about there health.Read full review...
