Encyclopedia of Folk Medicine by Gabrielle Hatfield Pdf

A wide-ranging compilation on the materia medica of the ordinary people of Britain and North America, comparing practices in both places. Informative and engaging, yet authoritative and well researched, Encyclopedia of Folk Medicine reveals previously unexamined connections between folk medicine practices on either side of the Atlantic, as well as within different cultures (Celtic, Native American, etc.) in the United Kingdom and America. For students, school and public libraries, folklorists, anthropologists, or anyone interested in the history of medicine, it offers a unique way to explore the fascinating crossroads where social history, folk culture, and medical science meet. From the 17th century to the present, the encyclopedia covers remedies from animal, vegetable, and mineral sources, as well as practices combining natural materia medica with rituals. Its over 200 alphabetically organized, fully cross-referenced entries allow readers to look up information both by ailment and by healing agent. Entries present both British and North American traditions side by side for easy comparison and identify the surprising number of overlaps between folk and scientific medicine.

★Are you having any health issues and you want to know the best herbs that can cure such ailments? ★Do you want to know the importance of herbs and their functions? If your answer is Yes to any of the questions above, this book is best for you. It has been the quest of humanity to find a medicine that is able to cure disease and alleviate pain since the beginning of time. Although scholarly evidence is sketchy, it seems that medicinal plant use was used about 60,000 years ago. Herbal tinctures, ointments, and teas were used throughout the world, and specific classifications for medicinal use began to take off, appearing in numerous languages. This scheme allowed the first word to identify the plant correlated with the genus while other remaining words explaining what the plant was able to achieve medically. By the 19th century, with the aid of this polynomial classification system, the true power of herbs, plants and their medicinal value became apparent. ◆◆◆This book will enlighten you on the ◆◆◆ ✓ Importance of herbs ✓Functions of close to 500 Herbs recipes ✓Best way to use herbs and were to find them Why not scroll up and click "buy now" to download a copy

The Modern Herbal Dispensatory by Thomas Easley,Steven Horne Pdf

The definitive, full-color guide to making and using approximately 250 herbal medicines at home, with instructions for everything from harvesting to administering low-cost, DIY remedies. This comprehensive, full-color guide provides detailed, easy-to-follow instructions for making and using approximately 250 herbal medicines at home, including practical tips and numerous effective formulas developed and tested by the authors, both expert herbalists with years of experience. 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.
