Herb Identification Guide

In this full-color photo section, you'll find hundreds of

pictures of herbs and leading commercial preparations.

The first part of the section is an Herb Identification

Guide with photos of over 380 common medicinal

plants. Each herb is labeled with its generally accepted

common name immediately above the photo, and its

scientific name immediately below. The pictures are

arranged alphabetically by common name.

Following these photos is a Product Identification

Guide in which you'll find a representative selection of

popular commercial formulations. The pictures on

these pages are arranged alphabetically by manufactur-

er and product name.

Please note that the plants are not reproduced in actual

size, and that the scale of the photos varies. For the

average dimensions of the plant and its component

structures, please check the Description section of the

corresponding herbal monograph.
