The New Complete Book of Herbs, Spices, and Condiments

A wealth of information concerning herbs has appeared in the past decade, and herbal remedies and foods have become more popular than ever. The New Complete Book of Herbs, Spices & Condiments offers a unique way of looking at these seasonings. It presents them as individual health products, each complete with the same types of nutritional, chemical, and medical benefits and side effects found in any vitamin supplement, prescription drug, or over-the-counter product. Comprehensive and easy-to-read, the revised edition includes: a new section on herbs, spices, and condiments used as remedies rather than seasonings; current information on herbal health products; and information on hazardous herbs, spices, and condiments.
