Book Report:
The Encyclopedia of Herbal Medicine by Andrew Chevallier, FNIMH
Publisher: Dorling Kindersley, Limited
I first decided to buy the book in hopes that it would be a good, up to the minute, desk reference on Medicinal Herbs. It turned out to be a little more of a text book to study by and what some book publishers call a coffee table book. A coffee table book is a book as large as a magazine, hardbound and full of color pictures, which would be entertaining even to people not interested in the subject yet. It is a good study help because of the sections in the back on how to use and administer herbs.
The first section tells about how medicinal herbs work by affecting different systems of the body with a number of chemicals working together to effect change. The book does divide the body's system up a little differently than the Heart of Herbs Course, Making it a little confusing for those of us trying to study both texts at the same time. The authors system is:
The Skin, using herbs that are Antiseptic, Astringent and depurative.
Immune System, using herbs that are Immune stimulants
Respiratory System, using herbs that are Antiseptic, antibiotic, Expectorant,
Demulcent, and spasmolytics
Endocrine Glands using herbs that are adaptogens, hormonally active, and
Emmenagogues
Urinary System, using herbs that are antiseptic, astringent and diuretic.
Musculoskeletal System using herbs that are analgesic, Anti-inflammatory, and
Antispasmotic.
Nervous System using herbs that are nerviness, relaxants, stimulants and tonics.
