A good read but not about western herbalism
EXCELLENT RESOURSE FOR COMPLEMENTARY CANCER TREATMENTS All persons (willing to set aside our inherently limited, myopic Western worldview) are invited to take a step forward in to the time-honored medical traditions of our forefathers that are as relevant now as they were 5,000 years ago. Dr. Tierra is a true renaissance man in every sense of the word; he has stretched his belief systems to incorporate many healing traditions - American Indian, Western herbal, East Indian Ayurvedic and Chinese acupuncture and herbs. Drawing upon over forty years of study, teaching, and healing experience, he makes an impassioned plea for the integration of natural treatments with the oft-times too aggressive arsenal of accepted Western medical practices including surgery, radiation & chemotherapy. Indeed, most of us have been indoctrinated to believe that only science "holds the cure". However, some of the most commonly used cancer treatments have been developed from herbs; currently, the U. S. National Cancer Institute has identified over 3,000 plants with anti-cancer properties. In Treating Cancer with Herbs, Dr. Tierra pulls from many traditions, detailing herbs and herbal medicines that can strengthen the body and immune system while helping to restore spirit and bring a sense of balance to the cancer patient. As always, his approach is wholistic and he details other equally important therapeutic approaches to the treatment of cancer including diet, supplements, exercise, and prevention. Dr. Tierra has written a definitive guide for the compassionate treatment of this dreaded disease. ... Read more |

A nice collection of tidbits The book is good for a fastoverview of the about 300 plants, minerals and animal parts covered, butthe information is far too sketchy to be of any practical importance. As anexample, a typical entry on the use is "Used as stomachic andcarminative, Dose, 10-15 gm.". TCM herbalists are possibly happyabout the Chinese characters with each entry, but as the author has gone togreat lengths to translate TCM terms into western ones it's doubtful if TCMpeople find any value in the work. The index of western ailments /Chinese herbs could perhaps point you into a new direction if you're stuckin your therapeutics.But otherwise the book is just a nice collection oftidbits for the herbalist. ...

Editorial Review Product Description Addressing one of the most urgent issues for environmentalists, America's most respected and well-known herbalists share in-depth information on saving 30 popular at-risk herbs. * Includes color photos of 30 medicinal plants and explains how to use and grow them. * Provides mail order resources for hard-to-find seeds. * Offers consumers suggestions for making eco-friendly purchases and using other herbs with similar actions as alternatives. * Edited by Rosemary Gladstar, author of the bestselling Herbal Healing for Women While the renaissance in the U.S. botanical market is positive in many respects, medicinal plant populations are suffering from loss of habitat and overharvesting, and many popular medicinal herbs are now at risk, including echinacea, American ginseng, goldenseal, Hawaiian wild kava, peyote, and wild yam. Planting the Future shows us how land stewardship, habitat protection, and sustainable cultivation are of critical importance to ensure an abundant renewable supply of medicinal plants for future generations. The authors share their extensive experience with using and growing these popular herbs and include suggestions for creating your own private herbal sanctuary, using herbal analogues--other medicinal herbs that provide the same benefits and exist in plentiful amounts--for at-risk plants, and making your herbal purchases a vote for sustainability. All author royalties will be used for replanting native medicinal herbs on a 380-acre botanical sanctuary in Ohio. Customer Reviews (4)
