I have several of Buhner's book and appreciate all of them, particularly his books on fasting, plant intelligence and herbal antibiotics. They are thorough, hugely knowledgeable and cover just everything relevant, as far as I can tell.
He writes with a dry sense of humor which lightens what would otherwise (inevitably) be a somewhat tedious read. He's practical and clear on what only works at the very onset, and about popular remedies that don't work at all. He recommends specific herbs for fever, for headache, for cough. As usual, he explains how to make the herbal goodies and is particularly keen on invasive plants, for very good reasons, as he makes clear.
My one negative thought about this book is the large list of herbs he recommends for colds, flu and the like. They seem more like a stew. For example, his antiviral tincture formulation is equal parts of Chinese skullcap, isatis, licorice, houttuynia, lomatium, red root, yerba santa, elephant tree, osha, and either immortal or pleurisy root.
Buhner does address this. He writes that for nearly 30 years he tended to use formulations that contained only 3 herbs, occasionally 5. With the emergence of more intense forms of influenza he has found that a more complex formulation works better. (He thinks a major factor is aging.)
I hope he's wrong, even though I consider him a master herbalist! I shrink at the cost of buying 11 different tinctures; if any of the sources he recommends towards the back of the book (I have used one or two and would happily use any recommended by Buhner) provide this "Buhner special", he doesn't mention it.
