A leading light in the field of medicinal herb cultivation, The
Chinese Medicinal Herb Farm is the first cultivation guide of its
kind, and presents invaluable information for growers interested in
producing high-quality efficacious herbs in all climates of the US,
with the historical connectedness of ancient practitioners.
It has become increasingly important-especially as the market
for herbal medicine continues to grow-that we transition to local
and domestic medicinal cultivation. Increasingly there are concerns
in regards to not only the quality but the purity of imported
herbs, and wild herbs picked for medicinal purposes are ever more
endangered than in past years both at home and abroad.
Peg Schafer, longtime grower and teacher, guides readers with
information on propagating, cultivating, and harvesting Chinese
herbs, and presents fascinating new scientific data that reveal the
age-old wisdom of nature and the traditional systems of Chinese
medicine. Through 79 detailed herb profiles--all tested and trialed
on Schafer's certified organic farm-Schafer offers easy-to-follow
information, suitable for both growers and practitioners, for
growing efficacious wild-simulated herbs. Also included is
important information on species conservation, crop integration,
and how to avoid the introduction of invasive species. Sidebars on
traditional medicinal uses for each herb and delicious recipes are
also featured throughout.
Vegetable and CSA farmers will find this book of great interest
for adding value-added crops to their repertoire, and beginner
growers looking to incorporate medicinals into their gardens will
find this an invaluable guide to understanding where herbal
medicine comes from, and will make eating-your-medicine more
accessible than ever.
