Publishers’ Note

The PDR® for Herbal Medicines™ contains information on some 600 herbs. It includes the findings of the German Regulatory Authority’s herbal watchdog agency, commonly called “Commission E.” This

agency has conducted an intensive assessment of the peer-reviewed literature on some 300 botanicals. For those herbs not considered by Commission E, Physicians' Desk Reference has added an exhaustive literature review conducted by the respected PhytoPharm U.S. Institute of Phytopharmaceuticals under the direction of Dr. Joerg Gruenwald. These additional monographs, some 300 in number, provide a detailed introduction to an array of exotic botanicals.
