Acknowledgments
Thanks to my colleagues at APRL: Evan Bybee and Dennis Gay, who supported me with great patience during the writing of this book. Special gratitude to my wife, Vickie, for her untiring emotional support and patience and for assuming many of the parenting tasks that rightfully should have been mine. Thank you, children, for not complaining too loudly at the frequent absences of your father while laboring over this manuscript.
Finally, thanks to Nathan Keats and Don Bensen and the diligent and meticulous staff at Keat Publishing for laboring to make this book presentable.

A Note on Latin Designations
Botanical names are most often given in Latin, and are commonly followed by a designation denoting the taxonomic system used in naming the plant. These designations are usually presented in the form of the initials or some abbreviation of the name of the system originator. Some of the more common designations are L., Gaert. and Roscoe (e.g., Zingiber officinale Roscoe). In this book, these designations are only given when necessary to clearly identify the plant in question.
In addition, the term spp. is occasionally used in place of the second term of the botanical name (e.g. Smilax spp.); this term is an abbreviation for "species," and means that several members of that particular plant family (e.g. Smilax) may be used in common and/or official preparations. The implication is that the different common species would generally be similar in action.
Other Latin terms that occur frequently in the book are:
in vivo = in live organisms
in vitro = in Petri dishes, test tubes, isolated tissue, etc.
in situ = on specific, exposed tissue in live organisms

A Note on APRL Certification
During the last two years, much of the activity at American Phytotherapy Research Laboratory (APRL) has been directed toward reviewing herbal products currently on the shelves of health food stores and circulating across the country on the wings of a multiplicity of multilevel network marketing companies. This review has been geared toward first establishing an array of categories for herbal materials: laxatives, colon cleansers, blood purifiers, PMS-related products, sedatives, energizers, thermogenesis agents, and so forth; then toward determining what characteristics products must have to belong to any given category, and finally toward reviewing individual products to determine whether or not they qualify for inclusion in any given category. Criteria include safety standards and compliance with known and accepted efficacy indications.
The criteria for establishing a product as a tonic are set forth in this book. Any product submitted to APRL that meets these criteria is eligible to receive APRL certification. The same can be said of products that qualify in any other category, although these formulas need not be limited to the tonics discussed in this book. No drug claims are made in the certification, but the APRL seal of certification may appear on the label of the product. These confidential analyses are performed in the hope of raising the quality control standards of the industry. We expect that products failing to comply with APRL standards will be reformulated by the manufacturer to come into compliance. This is, admittedly, a small effort to rectify a huge problem. It is surprising how many herbal products for sale today have been thrown together by marketing managers, advertising types, entrepreneurs with no background in herbal medicine, and others with little or
