In "Healing Lyme Disease Naturally, "anthropologist Wolf D. Storl
shares his own success in overcoming a difficult, sometimes deadly
disease that is reaching epidemic proportions. When he was
diagnosed, Dr. Storl refused standard treatments because of
antibiotic intolerance. Instead, he researched healing systems of
various cultures including Traditional Chinese Medicine, American
Indian healing practices, homeopathy, and traditional Western
herbal lore and discovered the teasel root. Teasel, a flowering
plant that grows throughout Europe and Asia, tonifies the liver and
kidneys, promotes blood circulation, and strengthens the bones and
tendons. The plant has been documented to help cure chronic
conditions marked by arthritis, sore, stiff muscles, and eventual
incapacitation--all symptoms associated with Lyme disease. Dr.
Storl's approach consists of flushing out toxins and inhibiting
bacteria by using teasel root as tincture, powder, or tea
(available for purchase online and in natural foods stores);
stimulating the immune system and detoxifying the body by exposing
it to extreme heat (sweat lodges and Japanese baths); and dietary
and naturopathic measures, including fresh natural food, exercise,
and sufficient sleep. Written in an encouraging, personal tone but
based in science and clinical studies, "Healing Lyme Disease"
"Naturally "offers hope in combating a condition that has
stubbornly resisted conventional medical treatment.
Traditional herbalists or wise women were not only good botanists
or pharmacologists; they were also shamanic practitioners and
keepers of occult knowledge about the powerful properties of
plants. Traveling back to the healing arts of the ancient
Egyptians, Greeks, and Romans, "The Herbal Lore of Wise Women" "and
Wortcunners "takes readers deep into this world, through the
leechcraft of heathen society and witches' herb bundles to the
cloister gardens of the Middle Ages. It also examines herbal
medicine today in the traditional Chinese apothecary, the Indian
ayurvedic system, homeopathy, and Native American medicine.
Balancing the mystical with the practical, author Wolf Storl
explains how to become an herbalist, from collecting material to
distilling and administering medicines. He includes authoritative
advice on herb gardening, as well as a holistic inventory of plants
used for purposes both benign and malign, from herbs for cooking,
healing, beauty, and body care to psychedelic plants, witches'
salves for opening alternative realities, and poisonous herbs that
can induce madness or cause death. Storl also describes traditional
"women's plants" and their uses: dyeing cloth, spinning and
weaving, or whipping up love potions. "The Herbal Lore of Wise
Women and Wortcunners "is written for professional and amateur
herbalists as well as gardeners, urban homesteaders, and
plantspeople interested in these rich ancient traditions.
From building soil fertility to harvesting and storage, this book
is a complete guide to biodynamic gardening, perfect for beginners
and masters alike, but is much more than a basic manual. The author
introduces us to the historical and cultural aspects of
horticulture and its relevance today to restoring our relationship
to nature.
