Holistic medicine is generally a load of junk. go see a doctor.
Not a book, exactly, but I can point you toward a few websites:
Native American Ethnobotany – http://herb.umd.umich.edu/ (you’ll have the best luck if you enter plants by scientific name) – traditional uses of plants
Phytochemical and Ethnobotanical Databases – http://www.ars-grin.gov/duke/ – you can serach by plant, specific chemicals, or what they do
Also see the "Herbs and Supplements" section of the National Institiute of Health’s website: http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/druginformation.html
