The Practice of Traditional Western Herbalism

Author: Matthew Wood
Publisher: North Atlantic Books
ISBN: 1556435037
Category : Health & Fitness
Languages : en
Pages : 305

Book Description
The Practice of Traditional Western Herbalism places the function of western herbs in their true historical context, apart from homeopathy, traditional Chinese medicine, and Ayurveda. Recently there has been a revival of interest in western herbalism, but practitioners haven't been able to explore its benefits due to a void of information on the topic—the system of medicine the herbs fit into had all but disappeared. To remedy the situation, herbalist Matthew Wood has researched the old-time practices and reconstructed them for modern use. In resuscitating western herbal medicine and bringing it up to date, he gives his readers a powerful tool for holistic theory and treatment. Wood makes the point that plant medicines, because they are made from a broad range of chemical components, are naturally suited for the treatment of general patterns in the body. He argues against the biomedical model of standardization, in which herbs are refined and advertised as if they were drugs suited to an exact disease or condition.

The Yoga of Herbs

Author: David Frawley
Publisher:
ISBN: 9788120820340
Category : Angiosperms
Languages : en
Pages : 0

Book Description
The term yoga has many traditional meanings. In Ayurveda, the medical science of India, yoga refers to the right usage and right combination of herbs. A special combination of substances designed to bring about a specific effect upon the body or mind is thus called yoga. This coordinated or integrated usage of herbs is based upon the ancient Ayurvedic science of herbal energetics. This is a system for determining the qualities and powers of herbs according to the laws of nature, so that herbs can be used objectively and specifically according to individual condition. A yogic usage of herbs implies such an harmonic application of the potencies of herbs. In this book, for the first time, this Ayurvedic herbal science is applied to western herbs, as well as to a few major oriental herbs, both Indian and Chinese. It is the purpose of this book not to present Ayurveda in the distance, as some-thing foreign or anci-ent, but to make it a practically applied syst-em of herbalism. This book is just a presentation of traditi-onal Ayurvedic know-ledge. It attempts to show living Ayurveda, its creative and practical application to changing conditions. It is meant as a bridge between east and west. In this regard, it has been a collaboration of an easterner with profound knowledge of the west and a westerner with profound knowledge of the east.
