Synopsis "A Treasury of Herbal Wisdom: Vital Knowledge & Essential Skills"
Edited by Jesse Wolf Hardin & Kiva Rose Foreword by Paul Bergner "By my count, in the last year, articles have appeared in Plant Healer Magazine by the founders of more than twenty North American herbal schools - fourteen of these are represented in the Treasury of Herbal Wisdom, representing every region in the country. Another fourteen herbalist practitioner/teachers appear in this collection, each with their own creative voice and accumulated experience. Plant Healer is the only resource available today, in print, on the internet, or at any conference, where you can encounter this diversity from among the innovators, the cutting edge thinkers, writers, teachers, and practitioners who are driving the creative evolution of herbalism in North America today." -Paul Bergner (North American Institute of Medical Herbalism) Presenting a collection of intriguing and information-packed articles for the students and practitioners of herbalism at every level, as gleaned from that esteemed quarterly: Plant Healer Magazine. Here is much of what you need to provide effective health care to your family, friends, or paying clients, covering a wide range of topics from herbal history and cosmology to using your intuition and "how to think outside the box," from making assessments to which herbs to use for broken bones, pain or the immune system, from making herbal tinctures and unguents to enjoying herbal aphrodisiacs, and from tips for self nourishment to tips for launching your own successful herbal related business.
