How to understand, utilise, and engage with medicinal herbs

In her fascinating second book, full time medical herbalist, Lucy Jones, shares the characters and medicinal virtues of 108 of the herbs that she works with in her practice. She writes about each herb as an individual that she knows and respects, rather than just as a list of conditions it treats or the constituents it contains.

She gives the physiological actions, energetic qualities and emotional resonances, as well as, where they apply, qualities according to Tibetan Medicine. She also includes historical views, magical associations and plenty of recipes for the home herbal apothecary.

This book sheds light onto the way that Lucy prescribes her herbs, with an emphasis on treating dietary and lifestyle factors alongside herbs to treat the root cause of illness. There are numerous informal case studies to illustrate both the actions of the herbs and the special magic of truly holistic herbal prescribing.

A Working Herbal Dispensary is much more than a herbal. It is an insight into a holistic practice where herbs and herbalist are working in partnership for the benefit of those that need help.
