Therapeutic Category Index

Entries in this index are organized by prescribing category, enabling you to quickly identify

botanicals with similar properties. Within each category, herbs are listed alphabetically by their

accepted common name, with the scientific name shown in parentheses. Botanicals deemed

effective by the German Regulatory Authority's ''Commission E" are marked with a (•) symbol at

their left. If an entry lists two page numbers, the first refers to a photograph of the plant in the

Herb Identification Guide, the second to the herbal monograph. The index lists herbs by general

category only. To locate botanicals considered appropriate for a specific indication, please consult

the Indications Index.
