This includes knowing how to positively identify them in the wilds, in the garden, and in the plant matter we purchase, a skill that often depends upon taste and smell as well as visual examination.... as well as understanding their active components, energetics, actions, applications and contraindications. The authors of Herbal Allies & Plant Profiles take a considered look, finding new or less common conditions that specific herbs seem to address, referencing the latest research as well as their own personal experiences administering preparations and recording the results. Not all ways of taking an herb are as effective as we'd like. You will learn in these pages when it is optimal to use the various methods, such as teas, foods, tinctures, infusion, decoctions, steams, oils and balms.Included also, are some loving looks at herbs' folklore, history, habitat and preservation. And as the book's Foreword by Kiva Rose Hardin so well evokes, it is ultimately an herb's experienced significance, mysteries and secrets, that draw us closer to the plant, to ourselves, and to our healing missions. It is the intent of the authors of Herbal Allies & Plant Profiles that their work and words help bring you just that....
