Reviews
"This is a phenomenal addition to the herbal bookshelf. It fills the need for a large, comprehensive herbal formulary--the likes of which we have not seen for a hundred years--yet it is so much more than that: a complete guide to the serious use of herbs from the field and forest to the single remedy or formula in clinic." --Matthew Wood, author of The Earthwise Herbal books "This is now the standard medicine-making textbook for schools of herbal medicine. It contains more methods and more forms than anything else in print, all clearly explained and demonstrated, with bonus materials on herbal energetics and materia medica ." --Paul Bergner, director, North American Institute of Medical Herbalism, editor, Medical Herbalism journal " The Modern Herbal Dispensatory relies on the solid foundation that comes from direct interaction with living, breathing botanicals. To this it adds a specificity gleaned from twenty-first century science: clear guidelines rooted in chemistry and physiology provide definitive answers to questions of extraction method, solvent, timing, and formulation. If you've ever wondered which extraction method to use for a given plant, or felt reluctant to try advanced techniques like percolation, this clear and concise reference guide will become a trusted companion. A must-have for herbal educators, clinicians, and manufacturers alike!" --Guido Masé, cofounder and codirector, Vermont Center for Integrative Herbalism "Thomas Easley and Steven Horne have done it once again. In the Modern Herbal Dispensatory , historic traditions of medicine making have been captured and shared in a way that empowers the modern lay herbalist to capture the benefits of botanical medicine in the most accessible and potent form. Weaving together folk teachings and scientific perspectives, this book bridges the spectrum of herbal medicine to provide an inspiring, detailed, and practical handbook for herbalists at all levels of experience. This guide should be on the bookshelves of every herbal school, home apothecary, and herbal production facility." --Emily Ruff, executive director, Florida School of Holistic Living, "This is a phenomenal addition to the herbal bookshelf.

    This product is a real but good value for money. I haven't regretted purchasing this product. I've been consulting it as and when I needed any other information regarding a herbal medicine. It also educates you on how to prepare or administer them., their sources etc, etc.. The writer did a good researched work on the book.. A real value for money.
