Can anyone recommend a good reference book on Herbals/Supplements? I don't need it personally, but a nurse friend wanted to have one to keep handy in case patients asked her about a specific herb. (interactions, side effects etc)

• PDR for Herbal Medicines
  
• Evidence-Based Herbal Medicine
  
• Natural Medicines: Comprehensive Database
  
• Professional's Handbook of Complementary & Alternative Medicines
  
• Herb Contraindications and Drug Interactions
• Herbal Medicines

That's my list of herbal resources 😉

During our Drug Information module, I remeber running across a resource that was like Herbal Medicines for Nurses. If I can find the exact name next week, I will let you know!
