Barbara Griggs (1932-2022) was a renowned journalist and researcher in the field of herbalism.
"A history of grass-roots medicine, researched to the point where
those of us who have dabbled in the subject are left feeling
embarrassed at the wealth of source material that we left
unread."-- "Brian Inglis, The New Scientist"
"A modern classic that can be consulted by all of those interested
in getting a keener insight into the trials and tribulations, the
pitfalls and rewards, and the history and future of drug therapy
from nature."-- "From the foreword by Norman R. Farnsworth,
Professor of Pharmocognosy, University of Illinois Medica"
"Here are the highs and lows, the compassion and the competition
and the pain and the joys of 2000 plus years of western herbal
medicine. Well-written and extensive."-- "American Herb
Association"
"Probably the most definitive history of the origin and development
of herbal medicine in the West . . . should be required reading for
every herbalist, pharmacist, physician, and regulatory official."--
"HerbalGram"
"This meticulously referenced, captivating book is guaranteed to
hold surprises even for those who consider themselves well-informed
on the topic."-- "Napra Review, Vol. 9, No. 2"
"To congratulate Barbara Griggs is not only a pleasure but a duty,
for she has given us a useful tool, the need of which has been felt
but hitherto never filled."-- "Richard Evans Schultes, Jeffrey
Professor of Biology and Director of the Botanical Museum
(emeritus)"
"Well researched, highly readable, and ultimately entertaining."--
"Yoga Journal"
