All natural health treatments, whether they involve dietary
changes, vitamin or herbal supplementation, detoxification
therapies, or bodywork, focus on removing the disease causing
agents using the body's own power of healing. This process often
brings on an unpleasant reaction known as the 'healing crisis'.
Unlike a disease crisis (illness) the healing crisis is a sign of
improving health. In this book you will learn how to distinguish
between a healing crisis and a disease crisis. You will learn how
healing works, what to do, and what not to do to facilitate
healing, and how to cope with unpleasant symptoms until the crisis
is over. If you undergo any type of natural healing program, you
must be well informed about the symptoms and processes of the
healing crisis. The book will guide you through the natural healing
process.

"Pendell's ongoing subjects are the botanical allies' humans have
always associated with, and the pharmakon, ' the drug that is both
poison and cure. A poet, ethno-botanist and amateur chemist, he's
the best writer on drugs to come along since the late Terence
McKenna."-Richard Gehr, "The Village Voice"
"There is genius to Pendell's approach, an erudite playfulness
and poetic virtuosity unmatched by anyone writing about plants and
drugs today. Pendell's books present a Pandora's box, and once
opened, the steadfast and curious reader will soon find herself on
the path."-Sarah Fox, "Rain Taxi"
Contemporary alchemist Dale Pendell completes his poetic study
of botany, chemistry, spirituality, psychology and history in a
volume covering the composition and uses of visionary plants.
Chapters including "Phantastica," "Hypnotica" and "Telephorica"
explore the hallucinogenic plants, the bringers of sleep and the
bearers of distance. Pharmacognosis is the branch of pharmacology
that deals with herbs and unprepared medicines in their natural
state, those whose cure is held in a deeper wisdom.
"Pharmako/Gnosis" weaves together ancient shamanic rites, historic
cultural lore and the contemporary use of plant poisons.
Dale Pendell is a poet, software engineer and longtime student
of ethnobotany. His poetry has appeared in many journals, and he
was the founding editor of "KUKSU: Journal of Backcountry Writing,"
In addition, his work appeared in "Entheogens and the Future of
Religion," edited by Robert Forte. He has led workshops on
ethnobotany and ethnopoetics for the Naropa Institute and the
Botanical Preservation Corps. He lives in the Sierra foothills in
California.

As pharmaceuticals become less effective against emerging,
resistant, and epidemic viral infections such as SARS, influenza,
and encephalitis, a natural and herbal approach is proving more
effective. In this companion to Herbal Antibiotics, Stephen Buhner
clearly explains which emerging viruses the population is facing;
the respiratory and nervous system infections these viruses cause;
how to treat these infections; how to strengthen the immune system;
and herbal medicine's place in the fight against viruses. In
addition, there is a chapter on herbal medicine making. For anyone
who wants to take greater responsibility for their health care or
who is fighting infections that are not responding to traditional
pharmaceutical treatment, this book offers an herbal alternative.
Just as alchemists transform the ordinary into the extraordinary,
with this book you can transform everyday herbs and spices into
effective healing herbal remedies. Rosalee de la Foret, a clinical
herbalist, examines the history and modern-day use of 29 herbs,

also dives into the energetics of herbalism, teaching readers how
to match the properties of each plant to their unique needs, for a
truly personalized approach to health. The recipes in this book
take a variety of forms - from teas and pastilles to beauty
products and delicious foods - to show how easy it is to
incorporate the healing power of herbs into your everyday life. You
could start your day with Spiced Cold Brew Coffee, pamper your skin
with Green Tea and Rose Facial Cream, make a meal of Astragalus
Bone Broth and Sage Chicken, then treat yourself to Cardamom
Chocolate Mousse Cake and a Holy Basil-Ginger Julep. Beautiful
photos taken by the author of the herbs and recipes complement each
chapter. This book will appeal to those interested in natural
health and herbalism, and the recipes offer an easy entry for
beginners. Readers will never look at cinnamon, coffee, parsley,
lavender or even chocolate the same way again, as they realize the
kitchen can be their medicine cabinet!
Medicinal Plants for Holistic Health and Well-Being discusses, in
depth, the use of South African plants to treat a variety of
ailments, including tuberculosis, cancer, periodontal diseases,
acne, postmacular hypomelanosis, and more. Plants were selected on
the basis of their traditional use, and the book details the
scientific evidence that supports their pharmacological and
therapeutic potential to safely and effectively treat each disease.
Thus, this book is a valuable resource for all researchers,
students and professors involved in advancing global medicinal
plant research. Many plants found in South Africa are also found in
other parts of the world. Each chapter highlights plants from other
worldwide locations so that scientists can study which plants
belong to the same family, and how similar qualities can be used to
treat a specific disease.
"The Practice of Traditional Western Herbalism" places the function
of western herbs in their true historical context, apart from
homeopathy, traditional Chinese medicine, and Ayurveda. Recently
there has been a revival of interest in western herbalism, but
practitioners haven't been able to explore its benefits due to a
void of information on the topic--the system of medicine the herbs
fit into had all but disappeared. To remedy the situation,
herbalist Matthew Wood has researched the old-time practices and
reconstructed them for modern use. In resuscitating western herbal
medicine and bringing it up to date, he gives his readers a
powerful tool for holistic theory and treatment. Wood makes the
point that plant medicines, because they are made from a broad
range of chemical components, are naturally suited for the
treatment of general patterns in the body. He argues against the
biomedical model of standardization, in which herbs are refined and
advertised as if they were drugs suited to an exact disease or
condition.
