reviewed Making Plant Medicine on December 21, 2008 Making Plant Medicine
My study of herbs was put on the side since I received my Master Herbalist certification and started to study nutrition in depth. Making Plant Medicine caught my eye when I was placing an order at Horizonherbs.com. What a valuable book! When studying to become a Master Herbalist at the School of Natural Healing, I never felt that I had mastered measurements in making tinctures etc.. and definitely not the mathematics of figuring percentages of the solutions.
The book contains specific ratios of solutions for many herbs and the generally accepted ratios to use for herbs not listed. Part one of the book is a pleasure to read. In his stories he describes some of his formulas. Part two is the list of herbs and what ratios and solutions are best for the particular herb.
Making Plant Medicine brought some herbs to my attention for a current condition in at least one of my children, of which I am grateful. I am going to order them tomorrow and make the preparation/formula described in the book. It also re-fired up my desire to get really familiar with a handful of herbs instead of knowing a little about a lot of herbs and relying on books for the detail. I was inspired all over again to study deeper into chemistry and to really know herbal constitutes and their actions.
An inspiring book! Now I really want the tincture press Horizon Herbs makes!
