Choosing the best reference books for herbal medicine manufacturers is an important decision because the most current information is a must in the field of medicine.

A good reference book is absolutely essential to the success of any herbal medicine manufacturer’s or physicians business and should contain scientifically rigorous, impartial information on commonly used herbs as well as those that are not so common. Color photographs that show the chemical structures of the plant materials as well as photographs of the plant and the crude drug material are essential. It is important to choose a book that has scholarly information that comprehensively references the phytochemical, pharmacological and clinical aspects of each herb profiled. Basic information that the book should contain includes the uses of the herbs, standard doses, evidence of efficacy, adverse effects, contradictions, drug interactions and if the herb is suitable for use during pregnancy or lactation.
