ISBN: 9780977133321.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA Comprehensive Sourcebook on the Preparation and Use of Medicinal Plants\n\nWritten as a manual for the advanced student and\/or practicing herbalist, Trends and Traditions informs on the rational principles of western herbalism through discussing the top-100 herbal medicines in popular use (US) today.\n\nEach monograph is segmented by the following categories: medicinal use and indication, chemical composition, preparation and dosage, potential toxicity, botanical description and distribution, and collection method. An entire chapter is dedicated to the step-by-step instruction of proper herbal preparation technique: tinctures, ointments, salves, syrups, as well as other conveyances. Herbalists will find the discussion of percolations, fluidextracts, and alcohol-intermediate salves of interest (supplements include percolation-fluidextract calculation worksheets). The 15-page repository lists preparations and dosages for an additional 400 herbal medicines. Other sections within the appendices include a therapeutic index, glossary, bibliography, weights and measures listing, botanical family grouping, and general index.\n\nLastly, this is not an entry-level paint-by-the-numbers herbal recipe book; but rather, a manual written by an herbalist for herbalists (and students) whom wish to deepen their knowledge of physiology-oriented (not sanctimonious politico-spiritualism) herbal therapeutics.
