Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides researchers and advanced students associated with plant and pharmaceutical sciences with comprehensive information on medicinal trees, including their identification, morphological characteristics, traditional and economic uses, along with the latest research on their medicinal compounds. The text covers the ecological distribution of over 150 trees, which are characterized mainly on the basis of their unique properties and phytochemicals of medicinal importance (i.e., anti-allergic, anti-diabetic, anti-carcinogenic, anti-microbial, and possible anti-HIV compounds). Due to the incredibly large diversity of medicinal trees, it is not possible to cover all within one publication, so trees with unique medicinal properties that are relatively more common in many countries are discussed here in order to make it most informative for a global audience. With over 100 illustrations taken at different stages of plant development, this reference work serves as a tool for tree identification and provides morphological explanations. It includes the latest botanical research, including biochemical advancements in phytochemistry techniques such as chromatographic and spectrometric techniques. In addition, the end of each chapter presents the most up-to-date references for further sources of exploration.

Book excerpt: Look Up: The Medicinal Trees of the American South, An Herbalist's Guide is an important new book. When most people think of herbs, they think of little green plants - the herbaceous plants - or culinary herbs. Unfortunately, that is also true of most herbalists. It seems we "can't see the forest for the trees." The truth is that most trees are among our most powerful and useful medicinal plants! When you consider that trees many be found in every yard, park or public greenspace, the convenience of trees as medicine becomes profound. This is especially true in First Aid situations. If the herb needed to help stop bleeding or diarrhea, ease menstrual cramps or muscle pain, reduce fever, soothe a sore throat or calm a cough is literally the tree over your head, this is much more convenient and practical than foraging for small plants or ordering an exotic tincture. Judson Carroll, a Master Herbalist in the Appalachian and German Folk Medicine traditions presents this first of its kind work on the trees that grow in the American south-east, a region his family has called home for more than 400 years! This a comprehensive guide to trees and their herbal use and, most of these trees can be found anywhere in the world. In this book, he presents the trees we see all around us and documents their medicinal use in over 2,000 years of herbal writing. He believe fully that God has given humanity everything necessary for our health, but "My people perish for lack of knowledge." This easy to read and informative book seeks to correct that tragedy.

Imagine each tree carefully selected through research and study as each tree holds a cure for at least one disease afflicting humans and animals alike. Perhaps you will have the choice entering such a forest alone, or you can be led through the forest with a guide, a forester who knows each tree and its application, and who can lead you to a tree for your specific health needs. A new breed of environmentalism, a new type of pharmacy if you will.Within this forest, park or garden will be trees to alleviate pain, manage chronic illnesses such as diabetes, or provide food. Such forest has not been planted yet, but it could be, soon. All the trees are with us today. All the research has been done. We simply have not yet joined the obvious links. We have not yet planted these trees to create a Medical Forest.Such medicinal forest may support isolated communities, inform mainstream health systems, supply unique drugs to hospitals, provide incomes for rural communities, and empower women in the work force.Once a tree or forest has more value standing and flourishing, it could safely be assumed that it will be protected by the people it serves. In this reference book there are many trees providing remarkable and effective results in treating illnesses and diseases.

It Was From Wood That He Obtained Fire To Cook His Food And To Warm His Cave Dwellings Apart From The Beauty Of Their Flowers, Which Excited His Imagination.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Medicinal Plants Trees and Shrubs of Appalachia I originally wrote this book to help me identify plants in the field, woods and along streams for medicine and a friend suggested that I offer it for sale to other folks to help them also. This is the result of that work. I have studied herbal medicine since 1999 and have taken many classes on herbal medicine throughout the country. I tend to lean more toward the traditional Native American way of healing since that is in my blood. To really learn about the plants you have to put in the dirt time, that means that you have to spend as much time as possible studying them and don't depend on one book, use many different ones as each one gives you a different perspective on each plant. Find teachers to teach you and learn as much as you can from each. My hope is that whoever purchases this book will learn that all weeds are not weeds and that some medicine can come from your own back yard. One instructor that I had on herbal medicine says that she believes that for whatever ailment that you have at the time that you will find the cure in your backyard and I have found that plants will change location from year to year. This book covers 105 medicinal plants with color photographs; with a space on the back of each page for notes. I have provided information on weights & measures, dosages, gathering and drying of herbs, type of preparations, herbal properties, plant terms, a list of symptoms and what herb to use for them, plant usage, location, when to harvest, parts to harvest, when to gather, and when it blooms by month.
