A symbiosis of years of experience and current scientific research
The growing demand by patients for herbal medicine over the last decades to treat and prevent illness has made it increasingly important for clinicians to become familiar with such herbal remedies.
The third edition of Herbal Medicine is the definitive work for clinicians currently using or seeking to implement herbal medicine, or phytotherapy, in their daily practice. The work is organized into eleven disease categories with specific indications for therapy. Detailed guidelines for the application and preparation of herbal remedies, a hallmark of all previous editions, have been enhanced in this new edition.
First published in 1960 by Rudolf Weiss and later coauthored with Volker Fintelmann, both of whom were appointed members of the landmark German Commission E, the work undertakes a critical appraisal of age-old and new remedies, and their utility in the spectrum of total patient care. The more recent addition of Kenny Kuchta to the authorship brings a valuable scientific pharmaceutical perspective to this classic work.
Highlights of the third edition include:
- Updated throughout with results of latest research
- Quick access to required information through logical organization by organ structure and disorder
- New contents on kava and nicotine dependence, and additional medicinal plants
- Practical advice on the contraindications and interactions for each remedy
- Reference tables searchable by herb or disorder—ideal for everyday practice
- An introduction to plant morphology with over 100 color photographs of medical plants
This third edition of Herbal Medicine is a practical, clinically oriented guide to the modern field of phytotherapy. Filled with insights and tips from international experts in herbal medicine, this edition earns an essential place in the libraries of both experienced practitioners and novices to the field.

What is an e-book?
An e-book is an electronic edition of a printed book that is available as a file. The content does not differ from the printed edition of the book. Thieme offers electronic books in PDF and EPUB formats. For both formats, you need software to display the documents on your reading device. This software is not part of the e-book download.
What is the PDF format?
Adobe PDF format (Portable Document Format) is a standard format in MAC/PC area. Free programs for reading a PDF are available for all common operating systems (e.g. Windows, Mac OS, Linux) and for almost all e-book readers such as e-book readers, tablets or smartphones.
What is the EPUB format?
EPUB (electronic publication) is a standard format for e-books that enables dynamic adaptation of the text to the size of the display device. It is particularly well suited for displaying e-books on tablet PCs, smartphones, and e-book readers.
EPUBs can also be easily displayed on MACs/PCs via the free ADE (Adobe Digital Editions) software, for example.
An Internet connection is required only to download the e-book to the reader. Once the download is complete, you can view and read the e-book without an Internet connection.
Are e-books copy-protected?
E-books from Thieme Publishing Group are provided with DRM (Digital Rights Management) protection from Vitalsource
On how many devices can I read the e-book?
You can read an e-book on up to six different (mobile) devices. These devices must be authorized with the same Adobe ID.
Can I exchange/return an e-book?
E-books are products that are not suitable for return due to their nature. Just like downloads of other electronic files (movies, music or software), e-books are excluded from the right of withdrawal. A return or exchange is therefore not possible.
