As people moved into cities and suburbs and embraced modern
medicine and industrialized food, they lost their connection to
nature, in particular to the plants with which humanity coevolved.
These plants are essential components of our physiologies--tangible
reminders of cross-kingdom signaling--and key not only to vibrant
physical health and prevention of illness but also to soothing and
awakening the troubled spirit. Blending traditional herbal medicine
with history, mythology, clinical practice, and recent findings in
physiology and biochemistry, herbalist Guido Mase explores the
three classes of plants necessary for the healthy functioning of
our bodies and minds--aromatics, bitters, and tonics. He explains
how bitter plants ignite digestion, balance blood sugar, buffer
toxicity, and improve metabolism; how tonic plants normalize the
functions of our cells and nourish the immune system; and how
aromatic plants relax tense organs, nerves, and muscles and
stimulate sluggish systems, whether physical, mental, emotional, or
spiritual. He reveals how wild plants regulate our heart
variability rate and adjust the way DNA is read by our cells,
controlling the self-destructive tendencies that lead to chronic
inflammation or cancer. Offering examples of ancient and modern
uses of wild plants in each of the 3 classes--from aromatic
peppermint to bitter dandelion to tonic chocolate--Mase provides
easy recipes to integrate them into meals as seasonings and as
central ingredients in soups, stocks, salads, and grain dishes as
well as including formulas for teas, spirits, and tinctures.
Providing a framework for safe and effective use as well as new
insights to enrich the practice of advanced herbalists, he shows
how healing "wild plant deficiency syndrome"--that is, adding wild
plants back into our diets--is vital not only to our health but
also to our spiritual development.
