Healing Herb: Rapid Reference

ISBN: 1-890612-21-9

pages: 152

Written by an ethnobotanist and clinical practioner of herbalism, this book was born out of an appreciation for the work of naturally oriented physicians of the 19th and 20th centuries -- as well as the distilled practical wisdom of grandmothers, woman elders, and North and South American shamans. Most importantly, it represents the author's own "peak" experiences during travels taken expressly for the purpose of studying and harvesting herbs in their native habitats.

Brent Davis is an extraordinary herbalist-healer-doctor who has made enormous contributions to our understanding of herbs....His love and appreciation of these healing plants shines through his work as he integrates ideas from many cultures and traditions....I would recommend his formulas and Rapid Reference to any practitioner of the healing arts.
-- Jay Sandweiss, D.O., Integrative Medicine

Finally...an easy-to-use reference guide for the challenging subject of herbal medicine....An essential addition to...any clinical practice.
-- Thomas Bloink, D.C., Craniopathy,
Integrated Holistic Therapies

This book is golden....It has more meaningful and useful information than books ten times its size.
--John O'Neill, L. Ac.

For over two decades I have been asking Dr. Brent Davis to put his incredible knowledge of medical botany into a concise book. It was worth the wait!
--Kenneth P. Stoller, M.D., Founder, Simply Hyperbarics

US$12.95 [Brent Davis, D.C.]
