James Green’s 1997 classic, “The Male Herbal: Health Care for Men & Boys,” is still the go-to paperback for anyone who wants a plant-based roadmap to men’s health. Written by a clinical herbalist with decades of practice, the book gathers every male-specific condition—from adolescent acne to prostate inflammation—and pairs it with time-tested Western herbs, exact dosages, and preparation methods you can make in your own kitchen. Because it is organized by body system rather than alphabetically, you can flip straight to the cardiovascular, reproductive, or endocrine chapter and instantly find the tonic formulas most men never hear about from conventional doctors.
What separates this title from general herbals is its unapologetic focus on male physiology. Green devotes entire sections to safe testosterone support, fertility, athletic recovery, and the emotional underpinnings of “male mid-life crisis,” all backed by modern pharmacological references and folk tradition. Detailed pen-and-ink illustrations of each plant—root, leaf, flower, and seed—make field identification easy, while the step-by-step tincture, tea, and salve recipes remove the intimidation factor for first-time herbalists. The result is a practical, shelf-stable reference you can hand to a teenager, a partner, or a grandfather and know the advice is safe, ethical, and effective.
This particular copy is a collector-quality paperback: tight spine, crisp illustrated pages, no previous-owner marks, and zero smoke or shelf odors. 1997 first-printing paperbacks in this condition are increasingly scarce; grabbing one now means you secure the original pagination and vintage illustrations later printings sometimes drop. Whether you are stocking a holistic home library, searching for a thoughtful gift for a health-conscious man, or completing your herbal reference set, “The Male Herbal” offers both the timeless wisdom and the physical longevity today’s natural-health readers demand.
