| herbal medicine materia medica: Materia Medica Jesse Hardin, 2016-03-01 In-Depth Herb Profiles & UsesEdited by Jesse Wolf & Kiva Rose Hardin504 Pages b&w - 90 Chapters - 75 Herb Profiles - Over 1,000 Illustrations - 27 Herbalist Contributors Softcover $45featuringKiva Rose * Phyllis Light * Rosalee de la Forêt * Juliet Blankespoor Christa Sinadinos * Dara Saville * Charles Doc Garcia * Elka * Sam Coffman * 7Song * Henriette Kress Sean Donahue * Sophia Rose * Leaf * Corinne Boyer * Sabrina Lutes * Wendy Petty * Jared Rosenbaum Reneé Davis * Rebecca Lerner * Erin Piorier * Susan Leopold * Rebecca Altman * John Slattery Samuel Thayer * Christophe Bernard * Ramona Rubin * Jesse Wolf HardinPresenting a wonderful collection of plant profiles and articles by some of the most informed and experienced herbalists of our time, 90 essays drawn directly from the pages of Plant Healer Magazine. Previously titled Wild Medicine, this volume has been repurposed and expanded as a resource for practitioners with 50 new pages added including pieces on medicinal Cannabis, Gotu Kola, Desert Lavender, Spilanthes, Hibiscus, Goldenrod, and how to cultivate herbs.Materia is a Latin word meaning matter. It matters to the herbalist that there is unwellness and suffering, and it matters whether we respond with herbs or with pharmaceutical drugs, and it matters which plants we use, in what ways, for which conditions and which constitutions. One's Materia Medica consists of the actual plant matter we utilize in our treatments, and its effective use is dependent on our understanding of it and its actions. For this reason, a Materia Medica is also a collection of profiles or studies, a collective body of usable plant medicine knowledge.Section #I of the book you hold features over 60 in-depth medicinal and edible plant profiles, with information on how to identify, wildcraft, garden, harvest, preserve, cook, or make medicines out of each. Section #II is all about herbalist ethos, practica and tips, wildcrafting and cultivation principles and means. The greater our familiarity with the medicinal plants we us, the greater our success will be in treating conditions and contributing to health. Such familiarity may begin or be augmented by reading and research, and then be deepened through clinical, personal, and hands-on experience. For that purpose, we hope this book of Materia Medica will prove a resource, an aid, and an inspiration. |

| herbal medicine materia medica: An Illustrated Chinese Materia Medica Jing-Nuan Wu, 2005-04-28 One of the cornerstones of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), herbal medicine has evolved over centuries of clinical practice and empirical results into a vast body of knowledge encompassing more than 6,000 substances, most of whose effects and uses have been documented and researched. The literature on Chinese medicinal herbs is unparalleled and unsurpassed in the world's medical knowledge; the earliest known pharmacological work was composed before the end of the third century B.C. The first classical Chinese materia medica appeared during the late Han dynasty (25-22- A.D.) and included 365 entries of botanical, zoological, and mineral substances, listing their properties and effects. Subsequent materia medica were assembled during virtually every dynasty from the Liang (456-536 A.D.) to the Qing (1645-1911). Among the major treatments published during these centuries was the 30-volume Materia Medica Arranged According to Pattern, which had 1558 entries, more than 3,000 formulae, and became the official pharmacopoeia of herbal medicine in China for 500 years. n Illustrated Chinese Materia Medica brings to the English language a lavishly illustrated atlas of the 320 herbs used most frequently in traditional Chinese medical practice. Each substance is profiled authoritatively in monographs that provide pharmaceutical, botanical and English names; flavor properties and channel tropisms; functions; clinical uses and major combinations; dosage and administration; and precautions. Intended for medicinal and pharmaceutical chemists as well as practitioners of homeopathic and alternative medicines, this materia medica offers a unique blend of authenticity that is derived from knowledge of classical Chinese literature with a clearly practical objective of persenting valuable information in a straightforward, easily comprehensible style. |

| herbal medicine materia medica: Essentials of Chinese Medicine Zhanwen Liu, 2011-03-08 The Essentials of Chinese Medicine is a text book intended for international students who wish to gain a basic understanding of Chinese Medicine (CM) at the university level. The idea of writing such a text was originated from the Sino-American Consortium for the Advancement of Chinese Medicine (SACACM), which was founded in February 2000. In 1995, the British Hong Kong Administration set up a Preparatory Committee for the Development of Chinese Medicine to look into ways of bringing Chinese medical practice and herbal trade under proper control and r- ulation. After the reuni?cation of Hong Kong with mainland China in 1997, the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region continued the efforts to uplift the practice of CM to a fully professional level through legislation. To help bring up a new generation of professional CM practitioners, the Hong Kong Baptist University (HKBU) obtained approval from the Government’s univ- sity funding authority to develop a School of Chinese Medicine to prepare students who will meet the future professional requirements through public examinations. In order to establish itself quickly as a rigorous provider of university level CM education, HKBU sought alliance with eight major CM universities in the Chinese Mainland, and one US university which was interested in developing CM edu- tion within its medical college. As a result, the Consortium known as SACACM was formed, with ten founding institutions from Beijing, Shanghai, Nanjing, Sh- dong, Guangzhou, Chengdu, Heilongjiang, Hong Kong, and the United States. |
| herbal medicine materia medica: Herbs and Roots Tamara Venit Shelton, 2019-11-26 An innovative, deeply researched history of Chinese medicine in America and the surprising interplay between Eastern and Western medical practice Chinese medicine has a long history in the United States, with written records dating back to the American colonial period. In this intricately crafted history, Tamara Venit Shelton chronicles the dynamic systems of knowledge, therapies, and materia medica crossing between China and the United States from the eighteenth century to the present. Chinese medicine, she argues, has played an important and often unacknowledged role in both facilitating and undermining the consolidation of medical authority among formally trained biomedical scientists in the United States. Practitioners of Chinese medicine, as racial embodiments of irregular medicine, became useful foils for Western physicians struggling to assert their superiority of practice. At the same time, Chinese doctors often embraced and successfully employed Orientalist stereotypes to sell their services to non-Chinese patients skeptical of modern biomedicine. What results is a story of racial constructions, immigration politics, cross-cultural medical history, and the lived experiences of Asian Americans in American history. |

| herbal medicine materia medica: Ganoderma and Health Zhibin Lin, Baoxue Yang, 2019-11-01 This book presents a state-of-the-art report on recent advances concerning Ganoderma and where the field is going. Although some older work is also cited, the main focus is on advances made over the past 20 years in the research history, classification, chemical components and industry of Ganoderma. Ganoderma lucidum (Lingzhi) has been used as a traditional medicine in Asian countries to maintain health and to treat diseases for more than two thousand years. Recently, its value has been demonstrated in preventing and treating certain diseases, such as tumors, liver disorders, renal injury, hypercholesterolemia, obesity, cerebral ischemia reperfusion, bronchitis etc. In addition, laboratory and clinical studies have confirmed that the chemical components of Ganoderma, such as Ganoderma lucidum polysaccharide peptides and triterpenes isolated from the fruiting body of Ganoderma lucidum, produce diverse pharmacological effects. Ganoderma and its components play an important part in antioxidant stress, radical-scavenging, immunomodulation, and intracellular signaling regulation, and accordingly warrant further study. This book systematically reviews the latest advances in our understanding of Ganoderma’s basic knowledge, history of modern research, species, cultivation, components, spore polysaccharide and industry of Ganoderma, and offers researchers and graduate students valuable new insights into the development and clinical applications of Ganoderma and related products. |
