"Pocketbook on the medicinal plants of Tibet is the first of its kind to be published in English. It contains 96 color photographs of Tibetan medicinal plants along with their native and botanical names. Furthermore, it gives information on plant taste, potency, action, and use--directly translated from ancient medical texts such as the rGyud bZhi and the Shel-gong Shelpreng--providing thereby an invaluable insight into a selection of medicinal herbs that have played such a vital role in the healthcare of Tibetans for so many centuries".-bkcvr.
