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.

Readers who appreciate the health-giving properties of herbal medicines but are discouraged by the high price of commercial products can now make their own preparations for a fraction of the cost. The authors tell you everything you need to know about harvesting, preparing, and administering herbs in many different forms, including fresh, bulk dried herbs, capsules, extracts in water, alcohol, glycerin, vinegar and oil, and even preparations like essential oils and flower essences. The book also covers topical applications of herbs as salves, lotions, poultices, tooth powders, ear drops, and more, and includes an extensive chapter on herbal hydrotherapy. The Modern Herbal Dispensary explains why different preparations of the same herb will obtain better results, demonstrating how capsules, teas, tinctures, or glycerites of the same plant will not have exactly the same effect on the body. Leading herbalists Thomas Easley and Steven Horne have tested and proven the herbal formulas they offer, along with suggestions for treating more than one hundred illnesses. They lay out the principles of herbal formulation and also provide instructions on how to prepare single herbs, a procedure that has been largely ignored in other references. More comprehensive than any other guide, thoroughly researched, beautifully illustrated, and presented with ease of use in mind, this book will take its place as the premier reference for those who want to produce all the herbal remedies they need, and to save money in the process.

- r***u (339)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseAs discribed, packaged well, quick shipping , fair price, great communication, A+ 5* seller , will buy from again .
- 1***1 (16)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseAll pieces were present and there was no signs of use. The seller's communication was the best I've had on this app. I got updates when it was shipped, when the delivery schedule got hastened, and when the package arrived. The ebay app only notified me when the package was shipped (and still says it has yet to arrive). At each step someone checked if I had questions or concerns. If I need something and they're selling it at a generally competitive price, I'm buying from them for the good service
- r***0 (439)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseRecommended Seller with very fast shipping as I purchased this on Sunday and received it on Tuesday. Also, excellent communication, the item came exactly as described and was packaged very well. 5 stars for everything. I would buy from again. Thanks for a great transaction!!
