The Male Herbal: Health Care for Men and Boys

I just started reading this book. Within the first couple pages, I learned so much. I will be buying a copy of this book for my oldest daughter. She has 2 sons, 1 that just turned 13 & a husband just into his 30s. It will help her get a head start on ALL the things they will face very soon. It helps you understand things about male issues, so if you have a significant other that you want to help figure out what's happening to their bodies, this book will help you help them understand & give you advice on what to do or try to help fix it or ease the complications. I will also buy me another copy so i can use it as my note taking book to mark & underline things in. This copy will remain in my library so my children can borrow it from time to time, if they desire.

This is a great book documenting how the herbal requirements for men differ from those for women. I am lucky to have gotten a copy in such good condition.

This is a classic herbal, a must for anyone looking for holistic health & healing information. I recommend it to males & females. I use it in the college level health courses I teach to introduce students to the concept of holistic health & natural whole food nutrition. It is a great book!

James Green has created an exhaustive index of herbs in a book I've gone back to hundreds of times. Very readable and down-to-earth, James combines good science with great advice. Includes much information of male-specific maladies (e.g. prostate) and insights into lifestyles that contribute to problems. Many recipies for daily herbal health-maintanance are tried and true. Simply the best and my personal favorite.

This book is nescessity for the modern Herbalist.

The sub-title for this book is "Herb Care for Men & Boys" but the book does far more than this. Its is an excellent source of information about specific ailments afflicting men and what can be done about them. His style of writing is most enjoyable as the topics, herbal suggestions with recipes, and use of technical herbal terminology is presented in a real home-style fashion. Reading it made me think of an old friend who was giving good natured advice to me. There are sections on how to pick the right herb, how to prepare the herbs (infusion, decoction, etc), on Wholistic way of life vs Allopathic MD treatments, a pictoral glossary of the herbs, informative glossary, and wonderful folklore & herbal recipes for most every male complaint. There is so much no available on "women's" complaints & herbal treatments, but so very little on the male counterpart.
