Both John and Oren expressed interest in cultivating the Hoxsey herbs on Indian lands, where today there is a small but vigorous rebirth of traditional herbalism, and where cancer is epidemic. Oren spoke slowly in the same idling pauses punctuating Mildred's languid storytelling. From a traditional perspective, he said, it is the spirit that heals, though the herbs and the medicines help. |

Luckily for those who enjoy gardening but don't like to water their plants with perspiration, cultivating herbs in your backyard (or front lawn) is relatively easy. In general, herbs tend not to be very fussy about soil, don't require optimal fertilization, and are seldom bothered to any extent by bugs. |

The use of blood purifiers to treat skin disorders from within is a practice appreciated only by a minority of people in today's world. But, as the debilitating side effects of drug usage become better understood (e.g., that prostate cancer is caused by cortisone), perhaps we will witness a gradual return to the use of natural methods. |

See book keywords and concepts |  Please note, that as the medicinal herbs are becoming more and more popular, some wild-crafting practices are placing a great burden on a growing number of wdd plant populations; therefore it is important to begin organically cultivating many of our herbal medicines rather than over-harvesting and wiping out wdd medicinal plant communities. A good example of the destruction caused by mindless wildcrafting is the notable loss of fields of wdd Echinacea angustifolia and Echinacea purpurea due to commercial over-harvesting. OrganicaUy cultivated Echinacea purpurea is every bit as effective. | | In Europe, the work of two extraordinary herbalists, Herr Kneipp and Monsieur Messegue, made the use of medicinal herbs in baths a relatively common procedure. I suggest we lay practitioners move on with our empirical herbal research and let medical science catch up with us again later.
Possibly the best, and certainly one of the most sensually delicious ways of absorbing herbal remedies through the skin, is by bathing in a full-body herbal bath. Life in general is more fun when you're naked. | | In the early nineteen hundreds, appreciation of vinegar's nutritional/medicinal properties entered the dark ages in tandem with medicinal herbs, but, unlike herbs, full appreciation of vinegar's medicinal virtues is still to be revived.When one looks closely at the inherent constituents of apple cider vinegar, its health-enhancing properties are rather astounding. | | Water, spirits, wine, vinegar and oil, culinary and medicinal herbs, common kitchen equipment, and one's unleashed passion are the shakers and movers of herbal medicine-making. . .that's all one needs to cook as a community herbalist. especially those whose commercial preparations, and the marketability of such, demanded control, permanence, and a great deal of solvency predictability. | | Dandelions are one of the most common medicinal herbs that live with us in our neighborhoods. In fact, every year petrochemical companies reap additional millions from the urban community by manufacturing and marketing a myriad of designer poisons devised specifically to alienate and destroy these wily turf-gangsters. In contrast, communities in China eagerly harvest and eat young Dandelion greens to enrich their diets, along with Purslane (Portulaca oleracea), and Kudzu (Pueraria lobata), which are two more "weeds" we tend to curse in this culture. | | Cascade Anderson-Geller, wonderfully outspoken twenty-first century herbalist and wise woman

See book keywords and concepts |  In traditional Chinese medicine, qi is the primal energy that maintains life and health. In Ayurveda, it is prana, and in the Western tradition, Hippocrates writes about "vis medicatrix naturae" or the healing power of nature, while modern Western medical herbalists and homeopaths use the term "vital force."
The importance of the vital force was diminished in the West by the philosophy of Rene Descartes (1596-1650).This French mathematician divided the world into body and mind, nature and ideas. | | Gentiana lutea, p. 97), aloe (Aloe vera, p. 57), and opium poppy (Papaver somniferum, p. 242) — and covers conditions ranging from chest complaints to crocodile bite.
