David Winston & Steven Maimes
We all deal with stress every day, and every day our bodies strive to adapt and stay balanced and healthy. In Adaptogens, authors David Winston and Steven Maimes provide a comprehensive look into adaptogens, non-toxic herbs such as ginseng, eleuthero, and licorice, that produce a defensive response to stress in our bodies. Formerly known as rejuvenating herbs or tonics, adaptogens help the body to “adapt” to the many influences it encounters. They increase stamina and counter the normal effects of aging and thus are becoming important tools in sports medicine and in the prevention and treatment of chronic fatigue and other stress-related disorders. Winston and Maimes present the historical uses of these herbal remedies in India, Russia, China, and the Americas and explain how they work and why they are so effective at combating stress-induced illness. Monographs for each adaptogen also present the latest scientific research and include the origin, traditional use, actions, properties, preparation, and dosage for each herb.

David Christopher
A biography of the remarkable life of this century's most renowned herbalist and natural healer. Dr John Raymond Christopher, whose early years were spent in an orphanage, was born with a disease that doctors claimed would take his life before he reached the age of 30. As a child, however, he knew that one day he would become a doctor and would "be able to heal people without cutting them up". After surviving a near-fatal accident and after watching his mother endure a slow and painful death from complications of diabetes and Bright's disease, Dr Christopher's resolve to become a natural healer became the driving force of his life. This book chronicles his remarkable process of self-healing and of the many landmark cases that shaped his life as a pioneer of modern herbalism. The book is also a testament to the courage of this man, who always retained his dignity, and his purpose, even when he was ridiculed by the courts and jailed for his beliefs.

Ellen Evert Hopman
For the ancient druid's, the healing and magical properties of herbs were inseparable from the larger cycles of the seasons, the movements of the planets, and the progression of a human life. A Druid's Herbal shows the reader how to use herbs when creating rituals to celebrate festivals and significant life passages such as births, house blessings, weddings, funerals, and naming ceremonies. Drawing on extensive research and a deep personal experience with Pagan traditions, Ellen Evert Hopman explores the history and folklore surrounding the eight major Celtic festivals: Samhain, Winter Solstice, Imbolc, Spring Equinox. Using these Celtic traditions as examples, the author suggests ways to incorporate the symbolic and magical power of herbs into personal rituals that honour all phases of life from childbirth to last rites. Also included are chapters on how to prepare herbal tinctures, salves, and poultices; herbs used by the Druids; herbal alchemy and the planets; and the relationships between herbs and sacred places. Filled with practical information and imaginative suggestions for using herbs for healing, ceremony, and magic, this book is an indispensable and comprehensive guide to age-old herbal practices.

It is designed to enable on-the-spot choices of herbs which are likely to facilitate healing based on individual characteristics, or "keynotes." Written by an ethnobotanist and clinical practioner of herbalism, it 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.
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.
