Learn how traditional herbal practitioners are responding to the
sudden, massive popularity of herbal medicine! Herbal Voices:
American Herbalism Through the Words of American Herbalists
examines how herbal practitioners who started in the 1960s and
1970s are reacting to the mainstream popularity of herbal medicine
today. This unique book features interviews with 20 of America's
most prominent herbalistsfocusing on their careers, their beliefs,
and their perspectives on the contemporary herbal product boom in
recent years. Also included is important information on herbal
organizations, publications, schools, and companies where seeds and
rootstock of endangered medicinal plants can be obtained, as well
as a list of the United Plant Savers' At Risk and To Watch
medicinal plants. Herbal Voices synthesizes the words of a
representative group of herbalists into a compelling picture of
modern American herbalism as they offer their opinions on the roles
of science, folklore, and spirituality in herbal medicine. This
timely resource addresses controversial issues that arise within
the herbal community, such as the endangered plant crisis,
professionalism and licensure, and shifting the American
consciousness toward a more Earth-centered way of life and health.
