Herbal Medicine

Science & Nature Health & Medicine

Herbal Medicine by Rudolf Fritz Weiss and Volker Fintelmann distills decades of German phytotherapy research into one authoritative hardcover. First published in its English edition in 2000, the 6th edition from Thieme remains a go-to reference for students, clinicians, and anyone curious about evidence-based botanical remedies.

Inside, you will find detailed monographs on Europe’s most trusted medicinal herbs, clear dosage guidelines, and practical prescribing tips that bridge traditional wisdom with modern science. The authors’ clinical experience shines through concise discussions of safety, contraindications, and synergistic combinations, making the volume as useful in practice as on the shelf.

This used copy shows it has been loved: the cover carries light scuffs, a few stickers hide inside the front board, and enthusiastic readers have added bright highlighting and neat pen underlining throughout. Occasional page-edge marks and a touch of foxing on the index pages hint at frequent consultation, yet the binding remains tight and every word is fully readable.

For collectors, students, or natural-health enthusiasts seeking an affordable working copy of this classic herbal medicine textbook, the cosmetic wear translates into budget-friendly access to one of the field’s most respected resources.
