Even though Americans rely increasingly on alternative medicine, herbal and traditional remedies do not undergo the testing for safety and efficacy as pharmaceutical drugs. In this book, editors Dasgupta (pathology and laboratory medicine, U. of Texas Medical School at Houston) and Hammett-Stabler (pathology and laboratory medicine, U. of North Carolina at Chapel Hill) present a balanced and comprehensive introduction to herbal supplements, emphasizing the pharmacological interactions between herbal supplements and Western pharmaceuticals.

This book guides in the interpretation of abnormal test results in otherwise healthy subjects due to use of herbal remedies. (TMCnet.com, 15 February 2011)
