The Dictionary of Modern Herbalism: A Comprehensive Guide to Practical Herbal Therapy

Simon Mills’s guide organizes herbal remedies from Anglo-American and European traditions as a practical reference. Its entries describe each remedy’s principal pharmacological actions and customary therapeutic applications, connecting traditional medicines with health concerns addressed in a modern context. The book is presented for both professional and general use, making its scope broad rather than limited to a single herb, condition, or practice. As a work published in 1985, it reflects the reference framework and terminology of its time; the description does not establish whether its information aligns with current medical guidance.
