Description:Self-Sufficient Herbalism is the first ever definitive guide to the growing, gathering and preserving of medicinal herbs for a working dispensary. Practical herbal skills are traditionally passed down between teacher and student, yet opportunities for learning in this way are very limited today. This book is a very important contribution to preserving fundamental aspects of traditional herbal medicine. It is divided into three sections. The first explains 'why' self-sufficiency in herbal practice is beneficial, with chapters on environmental benefits, quality, connection with plants, continuity of supply and business implications. The second goes through the main principles of 'how' to achieve self-sufficiency, with chapters on wild crafting, growing, harvesting, drying, storage and processing. The third is a glossary of detailed notes on the cultivation, harvesting and processing of one hundred and eight particular herbs arranged by the seasons so it can be used easily as a reference. As well as being a practical guide, this book explores the deeper implications of self-sufficient herbalism. When we move towards herbal self-sufficiency, we become more closely connected and respectful towards the plants that we work with and the environment in which they grow. We reduce our environmental impact and we contribute to the wider conservation of scarce and endangered species. The process of growing and gathering herbs nourishes us and provides a balance to the demands and challenges that we face when treating patients, enabling us to help more people. All in all, the process of self-sufficient herbalism is much, much more than just sourcing herbs locally. It can be totally transformative both personally and for our herbal practices. Lucy shares her own personal experiences of following this path and shows how working so closely with her herbs has changed her. It is a must read for practicing herbalists, herbal students, herb gardeners and all those who love herbs.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
