This book contains 133 herbs and foods of different origins and easy -to -understand information about the use, preparation and ways of combining many of these herbs in order to achieve the most effective results. The author, Mark Pedersen, chemist for herbal research, is very thorough in his descriptions and documentation. He wrote both nutritional herbs and nutritionalism Volume II. These two books were revised and one book was recorded to create a better, expanded band than its two predecessors. It is well referenced for both beginners and experienced herbalists - a further good addition to the library of the naturopathic.

The introduction includes definitions, history, patents and laws to herbs and naturopathy. It includes regional and cultural influences on the development of herbalology and even contains a section on herbs and medicine. "... the most widespread drug in the world, aspirin, is based on the naturally occurring salicin in willow bark."

Chapter 2 defines and describes the specific classification of herbs and even contains examples of any classification. The next chapter goes into detail about many of the elements from aluminum to zinc in different herbs. It also explains which nutrients are synergistically or antagonistically to absorb and use the described nutrient.

The main part (Chapter 4), alphabetically arranged by herbs, is divided into underrubics, including: "Properties"; "Affected systems"; "Common names"; "Popular history and use"; "Medical properties"; "Typical daily use" (includes the use of fresh, dried or extracted herbs); "Traditional formulas" (other herbs that are used together to achieve a certain result); "Chemical components"; and "nutrients of importance" (nutrients do not contain in chapter 2). In this chapter you will also find a clear table of the nutrition of each herb using the nutrients from chapter 2. The next eight chapters are broken down according to body systems (digestive, glandular, immune cells, etc.). This includes descriptions of the system and the effects of deficiency and excess nutrients or toxins and the proposed therapies (herbal combinations) to improve these conditions. An appendix as well as an extensive index and a glossary for easy it are also included.

Nutritional herb science (Wendell W. Whitman Company ISBN 1-885653-07-7) is a welcome edition for every herbal collection. It is thorough, well researched and fills the gaps well.
