Most
modules include an overview of the anatomy and physiology
of a particular bodily system followed by detailed pathophysiology
of the common conditions which may affect that system. Included
are causation, predisposing risk factors, symptom pictures,
herbal treatments (where applicable) and nutritional information.
Although information on relevant herbs is integrated throughout
the text, plant monographs—detailed profiles of herbs
especially applicable to the featured bodily system— follow
most modules. These monographs cover the latest research
in plant pharmacology, traditional and modern applications,
toxicology and plant constituents as well as anecdotes and
observations from Dr. Low Dog’s clinical experience.
A glossary of medical and technical terms is provided at
the conclusion of each module.
