Veterinary Herbal Medicine

Excellent book - I am in an herbalism program and use this book extensively as a reference for both humans and animals. It is written well and easy to understand with my limited knowledge of animal anatomy and physiology. The book contains a good amount of plant/herb monographs and they are well written. The authors have also included good dosing instructions, which Is information not always found in herbal reference books, especially pet herbals.

The authors are highly regarded professionals in this area.The book is a hardback, so made to last.It firstly reviews all of the main herbal medicine disciplines, giving historical background.It covers evaluating research, regulations and scepticism.It covers the main herbal plants used in herbal medicine, including how to grow them, and how to make the best use of them.It has a comprehensive section on veterinary clinical use of herbs, including a materia medica.It also has some handy information in the appendices, eg. conversion tables.The index is great because it lists plant common names, scientific names, diseases and body parts.I would recommend this book to any veterinary professionals who have an interest in this area.

This book is NOT just for DVMs, though I encourage all of them to read it. This is a great book for professional herbalist (or those on their way). It is written in a very textbook format and it is technical and scientific, but it is awesome and worth the money! If you are an herbalist and have animals, or may work with them, put this book on your 'must read' list.

Easy to use

THE book to have whether you are a beginner or advanced herbalist.

Great reference book for herbal remedies with detailed descriptions and dosages.

Good book but very technical. If you arent wanting a text book dont get this.

I've been giving complementary therapy to animals for 22 years and I'm principal of a holistic animal therapy training school. I'm a herbalist and aromatherapist and this book was/is invaluable for me for the past few years. I'm developing a range of herbal canine care, AniScentia and I am constantly dipping in and out of this book. It has been thoroughly researched and I love the statistical evidence and data. Yesterday was national book day - this is my favourite non-fiction book. It's not a 'how to' being scientific in nature, but I would not be without it.

This book is a masterpiece.Gives you a good basic understanding of the philosophy of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Ayurveda; relations about modern western pharmacology and medicine and the good old medicines and healings and how they could work well together in these days :) You will find here a very valuable information on herbs - starting from medicinal constituents of plants, through planting herbs, herbal energetics, how to prepare your remedy, use of medicinal herbs and recommended doses for various animals as well as clinical studies on different herbs and their effects. A big part of this book consists of materia medica on herbs and plants.Really valuable reading, would you be interested in herbal use as primary or complementary remedies in veterinary medicine.

Really useful for my work in complementary animal health.

La edición impresa tiene algunos inconvenientes con respecto a la digital: limitación de la indexación, baja calidad de las imágenes, dimensiones y peso excesivos,...Con respecto al contenido, se puede consultar en Google la vista previa para hacerte una idea de lo que vas a adquirir. También puede ser útil leer alguna revisión como la de la veterinaria Lea Stogdale publicada en The Canadian Veterinary Journal.

Livre vraiment complet et très intéressant.Livre de référence et pour pousser plus loin..Seul bémol, une version française serait géniale car parfois c'est un peu ardu pour la trilingue que je suis..
