- Andrew Chevallier has been in practice as a medical herbalist since 1986. Over the years, he has treated people suffering from health problems of many kinds - from minor skin conditions to severe debilitating illness. He believes that best results come from working jointly with the patient and mapping out an agreed way forward.

He worked for 5 years in an NHS-funded complementary health clinic offering free treatment to over-55s in east London. He was a Senior Lecturer in Herbal Medicine at Middlesex University, London, (1994 - 2003) having helped to found its BSc (Hons) Herbal Medicine course, the first of its kind at a European university.

In addition to actual information, the organization and format of the book's facilitates this. The bulk of the book is an extensive section on 140+ individual remedies (herbs, foods, spices). The detail for each remedy includes a beautiful color photograph of the plant, precise information on the remedy's medicinal use, its key actions, the health condition for which it is primarily used, and specific information regarding its safety, traditional use, scientific research, ways of using, cautions and naming other herbals that are usually used with it. In addition, there is a comprehensive section on common health problems categorized by type such as Digestion, Circulation, Women's Health Problems, which are cross-referenced to the pages of the remedies themselves. Very specific health concerns, such as tooth ache, can be found in the index. Last, but not least, is an excellent introductory section that discusses many aspects of using and understanding herbals: how they work, making and buying herbals, types of remedies and safety considerations, such as dosages.
I have used herbals for many years for various health conditions, and have referred to many of my herbal publications during that time.
