Upon its publication more than a decade ago, Dr. James Duke's The Green Pharmacy quickly set the standard for consumer herb references. A favorite of laypeople and professionals alike, the book sold more than a million copies and solidified the author's reputation as one of the world's foremost authorities on medicinal plants. In The Green Pharmacy Guide to Healing Foods, Dr. Duke turns to the broader and even more popular subject of food as medicine, drawing on more than thirty years of research to identify the most powerful healing foods on earth. Whether he is revealing how to beat high cholesterol with blueberries, combat hot flashes with black beans, bash blood sugar spikes with almonds, or help relieve agonizing back pain with pineapple, Dr. Duke's food remedies help treat and prevent the whole gamut of health concerns, from minor (such as sunburn and the common cold) to more serious (like arthritis and diabetes). Dr. Duke has assigned a rating to each remedy, according to his evaluation of the available scientific studies and anecdotal reports. Many of the healing foods recommended here are proving so effective that they may outperform popular pharmaceuticals—minus the risk (and cost).

Medicine is one of the oldest branches of science. People have always been seeking means to alleviate sicknesses and prolong life. In olden times, people achieved this by taking resources, like plant and animal parts, from nature. Other times, they observe the healing techniques of sick animals.

A few decades ago, advances in the study of chemicals and a greater understanding of how the human body works has prompted the wide use of drug-based medications. Because of their efficacy, many previously life-threatening diseases (like fevers) can be easily resolved. However, researchers, physicians, and lay people alike have noticed that negative side-effects sometimes come with these medications.

You may have questions about when to apply heat or cold to injuries, what helps relieve the itch of an insect bite, or whether certain herbs, vitamins or minerals are really effective against the common cold or insomnia.
