Some Book Recommendations to Learn About Herbal Remedies

The first book is a favorite of mine, with a lot of information, and aimed at the general reader, rather than the health professional.
Prescription for Herbal Healing


This book is an excellent resource; I personally own several editions. It is very thorough, but aimed at herbal practitioners and medical professionals.
PDR for Herbal Medicine


This next book is one of the definitive texts on Chinese Herbal Medicine, and highly recommended, if your interest is in Chinese herbs.
Chinese Herbal Medicine: Materia Medica


The next book is an introduction to the concepts of Traditional Chinese medicine, written by American acupuncturists, and, also contains some information about Chinese herbs.
Between Heaven and Earth

If you want to explore the concepts of Traditional Chinese Medicine, I highly recommend the book by Ted Kaptchuk
The Web That Has No Weaver.
