Download or read book Practical Herbs written by Henriette Kress and published by Yrtit Ja Yrttiterapia Henriette Kress. This book was released on 2013-03 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Finnish herbalist Henriette Kress focuses on herbs that are easy to grow or find in northern Europe-stressing teas over tinctures, as local tradition dictates: "I'm an herbalist who lives and works in Finland, in northern Europe, and the herbs I've selected to write about reflect this. These 23 herbs are either abundant in Finnish woods and meadows or are easily grown in Finnish gardens. "However, these herbs have a circumboreal appeal. If you live anywhere near the temperate zone, for example, you're likely to find dandelion, stinging nettles, or horsetail growing in the wild. If you have a yard or garden, you may grow roses, calendula, and California poppy. "In addition to herbs, I cover many other topics: how to pick herbs and what to do with them once they're picked; how to make herbal oils, salves, and tinctures; which minor ailments can benefit from herbal treatment, and which medicinal herbs can also be used as food. "And, of course, how to make your own rose beads." Practical Herbs is written for everyone who likes to harvest and process their own herbs from the wild or from their gardens. This volume includes comprehensive instructions for making herbal tinctures, oils, salves, vinegars, teas, and syrups.

This book compiles the literature for 23 globally relevant leafy medicinal herbs. Beginning with a general overview and discussion of the importance of these plants, it then handles each herb by chapter. Chapters discuss the botany of the crop, including its history and origin, geographical distribution and morphology, before focusing on the chemical composition and phytochemical attributes.

Organized as a materia medica (names and descriptions of herbs/plants are listed alphabetically), the book explains the use of the whole plant (not just “active ingredients”) in the treatment of the whole person and describes symptoms and conditions that the plants have been successful in treating—from digestive ailments, headaches, and high blood pressure to asthma, skin rashes, and allergies, to name a few. Wood, who has systematically studied ancient and traditional herbal literature, takes a historical view and presents information in a thoughtful, engaging, nontechnical style. In addition, he provides remarkable case studies as well as insight into the “logic” of each plant—its current and past usage, pharmacological constituents, and other elements that together produce a comprehensive portrait of each herb.
