A beautifully illustrated guide on how to understand and engage
with medicinal herbs. Â In her fascinating second book, full
time medical herbalist, Lucy Jones, shares the characters and
medicinal virtues of 108 herbs that she works with in her practice.
She writes about each herb as an individual that she knows and
respects, rather than simply a list of conditions it treats or the
constituents it contains. Â Lucy gives the physiological
actions, energetic qualities, and emotional resonances as well as
qualities according to Tibetan Medicine, where they apply. She also
includes historical views, magical associations, and plenty of
recipes for the home herbal apothecary. Â A Working Herbal
Dispensary sheds light on the way that Lucy prescribes her
herbs, with an emphasis on treating dietary and lifestyle factors
alongside herbs to treat the root cause of illness. There are
numerous informal case studies to illustrate both the actions of
the herbs and the special magic of truly holistic herbal
prescribing. Â Beautifully illustrated throughout with colour
photographs, A Working Herbal Dispensary is much more
than your run of the mill herbal; it is an insight into a holistic
practice where herbs and herbalist are working in partnership for
the benefit of those that need help.
