Most Thorough Herbal

ByJeremiah D. Wilkeson February 16, 2013

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

As a medicinal herbalist I find the most beneficial aspect of this book to be the section on the herbs themselves as I have found it to be the most concise and thorough out of all the books I use for my herbal studies and practice. I do have to mention that the range of herbs he includes is extensive but not complete as for some I had to find other sources. However, Tierra's herbal on western herbs is specific and includes relevant and beneficial information as he lists each herb by it's most common name, scientific name, other common names, plant family, parts of the herb used, the flavor and energy of the herb, body systems and organs the herb affects, the biochemical constituents in the herb, the herbal actions and properties of the herb, the standardization and dose of the herb in it different methods of application, the specific conditions the herb is used to treat and its other uses, and furthermore some history and background data on the herb as well as its safety, contraindications, and adverse effects.

In addition to my primary reason for reading and using this book, I like the included section Theory of Using herbs, which is although quite concise, very useful even as a general reminder about the simplistic but effective nature that herbs and plants have and that we can so easily utilize and attain potent earth medicine that is just as reliable as technological medicine but much more economically and environmentally sound. In conclusion The Way of Herbs is a must read and reference book to own for anyone be them a dedicated naturopathic practitioner of herbal medicine or someone just interested in a specific alternative or remedy
