Autor

Formerly a prize-winning author of scientific papers, Dr. Eng Soon Teoh, MD, FRCOG, FACS, has done equally well with his books for the general readership. He has been involved with orchids for over 50 years and is a past-president of the Orchid Society of South East Asia, Dr. Teoh spent many years doing laboratory research in London, Uppsala (Sweden), Miami and Singapore, places that gave him the opportunity to study orchids.
He is author of a dozen books on orchids, lotus, medical topics, etc.




" .. an astonishing book for its encyclopaedic coverage of the use of orchids in Asian herbal medicine. ... it should remain the standard reference book on the subject for decades."

Review of Eng Soon Teoh's Medicinal Orchids of Asia (2016) by Henry Oakeley
