A pathbreaking reference text detailing over 220 botanical remedies
in Western herbal medicine. Comprehensive and detailed, this
revised and enlarged 4th edition draws on Chinese and Greek herbal
medicine to integrate traditional herbal energetics with the latest
findings in plant pharmacology, using traditional vitalistic and
modern scientific systems of herbal medicine are complementary
paradigms, rather than irreconcilable approaches. Using both
systems simultaneously will greatly enhance the efficacy of herbal
formulation in clinical practice, as well as provide a deeper
understanding of each system. The Energetics of Western Herbal
Medicine includes detailed practical instructions for
preparing and using herbal remedies for internal and topical use,
including fourteen new herbs, including Schisandra, Rehmannia,
Rhodiola, Eleuthero, Devil’s claw, White peony, Asian ginseng,
Asian buplever and Baikal skullcap. The introductions to each herb
class, which explore the treatment strategies behind the various
types of herbs, have been rewritten to include much new clinical
material as well as to reflect current knowledge. In addition, the
whole text has been re-typeset for greater user friendliness as a
practical herbal medicine reference. For each herb, it
includes the most useful preparation forms, along with important
dosage, caution and contraindication information. For this fourth
edition, the detailed dosages for tincture, infusion and decoction
preparations have been fully updated, based on current Western
herbal medicine practice, and the tincture strength and ethanol
content information have been added for every herb.
