Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A lost classic of Western herbalism—rediscovered and restored with 200 full-color images. Herbalist to King Charles I, John Parkinson (1567–1650) was a master apothecary, herbalist, and gardener. Famous in his own lifetime for his influential books, his magnum opus, the Theatrum Botanicum, was published in 1640 and ran to 1,766 large pages. The sheer scope and size was perhaps to prove the book’s downfall, because while it was much revered—and plagiarized—it was never reprinted and, centuries later, has attained the status of an extremely rare and valuable book. Parkinson was writing at a time when Western herbalism was at its zenith, and his skills as a gardener (from his grounds in Covent Garden) combined perfectly with his passion for science, observation, and historical scholarship. In the The Herbalist’s Bible, Julie Bruton-Seal and Matthew Seal have beautifully combined selections from Parkinson’s book with their own modern commentary on how each plant is used today to create a truly one-of-a-kind, comprehensive collection of herbal information old and new. Parkinson’s clear and lively description of a chosen plant’s “vertues” or healing properties side-by-side with the editors’ notes—including copious herbal recipes—make this the perfect book for students and practitioners of herbalism, historians, and gardeners, all of whom will welcome this restoration of Parkinson’s lost classic.

Native Americans have employed herbs for thousands of years to balance their lives and their environment, as well as to cure their bodies and cleanse their spirits. According to oral traditions, people learned about the therapeutic properties of herbs and other plants by observing ill animals. Before the initial interaction between Europeans and the tribes, there were no documented records of herbal usage by the Native Americans of America. But this began to alter when Native Americans taught the new immigrants how to employ nature's remedies. Native American herbal knowledge provided a vital basis for creating a new country at an age before antibiotics and understanding the origins of infectious illnesses. They often gave explorers and settlers herbal remedies that proved essential to their survival throughout the 1800s as westward expansion exposed Americans of European heritage to new environments and the expected illnesses and injuries. This book will reveal all the secrets of Native American herbs, it includes: • Modern use of Native American Herbs • Native American Herbs history • Herbs Lists and Uses • Recipes of Native American Herbs for Healing We have split the book into three parts to support your comprehensive journey.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For the first time ever, an active practitioner describes the history, folklore, and remedies of Southern and Appalachian Folk Medicine in this groundbreaking guide for curious herbalists. This book is the first to describe the history, folklore, assessment methods, and remedies of Southern and Appalachian Folk Medicine—the only system of folk medicine, other than Native American, that developed in the United States. One of the system's last active practitioners, Phyllis D. Light has studied and worked with herbs, foods, and other healing techniques for more than thirty years. In everyday language, she explains how Southern and Appalachian Folk Medicine was passed down orally through the generations by herbalists and healers who cared for people in their communities with the natural tools on hand. Drawing from Greek, Native American, African, and British sources, this uniquely American folk medicine combines what is useful and practical from many traditions to create an energetic system that is coherent and valuable today.
