Herbal Pharmacy: The Science and Magic of Preparing and Administering Plant Medicine

This thorough guide is ideal for clinical herbalists, alternative medicine practitioners, and herb enthusiasts—providing detailed step-by-step instructions, how-to information, and “why-to” explanations so readers can confidently move from following recipes to designing and preparing their own herbal remedies. More and more people are turning to herbal remedies for healing, whether they are purchasing the remedies or making them on their own. Herbalists want their clients to have good experiences with these remedies, both to help them heal and to foster a positive regard for herbs and, by extension, the healing power of nature. This in-depth guide teaches readers respect, care, and understanding for all aspects of preparing herbal medicines, to ensure what they make is safe and efficacious. Herbal Pharmacy also covers the practical aspects of administering herbal remedies: figuring dosage, duration of care, and the specifics of deciding how to apply a remedy to produce the best outcome. Throughout, Bancroft—a professional member of the American Herbalists Guild who has been educating for over three decades—provides detailed instructions to help even inexperienced or anxious medicine makers successfully design and prepare their own recipes for effective remedies. "Herbal Pharmacy truly is a most special book, one that I picture will be on every herbalist's bookshelf and will be treasured by beginners and advanced herbal students alike."—Rosemary Gladstar
