About the Author

As a practicing clinical pharmacist, Steve Ottariano understands the benefits of combining traditional "Western" pharmacy with the age-old wisdom of medicinal plants. The synergy of the two disciplines is often more effective than either one in isolation. His traditional scientific training, along with years of in-depth study of medicinal herbal therapies, means Ottariano is well qualified to integrate the valuable knowledge he brings in his book. Ottariano offers readers no only substantiated scientific studies, but also his own personal experiences.

An accomplished lecturer, he has helped thousands of people and shown them the benefits herbal therapy offers. He lectures at New England hospitals and colleges, including the Massachusetts College of Pharmacy. His unique perspective and wealth of information is frequently sought out by the media as an expert source.
