This book is intended to be a users' manual, not a reference book,
and so has charts, diagrams, tables and cross-references to enable
the interested practitioner to incorporate the Western Herbal
Tradition into their practice. It synthesises and elaborates on all
the extant information on the Western Healing Tradition as recorded
by William Lilly and Nicholas Culpeper in the 17Cth and from the
author's own herbal practice. It shows how using planetary energies
and the wheel of the year deepens our understanding of the action
of medicinal plants on the body and establishes the practitioner
within their environment, allowing them to use planetary energies
to determine the peak times to harvest and use herbal remedies and
to locate health and sickness within the holistic paradigm of
Western Traditional Herbal Medicine.For ease of use, the book is
divided into two sections. The first details the philosophical
framework within which traditional western herbalists can operate;
looking at the four humours, and seven planets and the use of the
diagnostic tool of the decumbiture chart. The work is so organised
that the humoral system can be used without astrology, should that
be the preference. The second part covers the practical application
of the philosophy, how to collect, make and administer herbal
remedies according to the planetary days and hours and the
decumbiture chart. Examples of decumbiture charts will be included
to show how the philosophy is used in practice. Lastly, a materia
medica of common herbs is included. This fascinating new title by
the best-selling Elisabeth Brooke will be of interest to anyone
involved in the theory or practice of herbal medicine, particularly
those who have been inspired by her other classic works including A
Woman's Book of Herbs and Herbal Therapy for Women.
