Klappentext

The trusted guide that transforms herbal knowledge into real medicine—250 safe and effective remedies you can make at home.

The essential guide to making herbal medicine that works—because method matters.

You’ve tried the teas. Tinkered with tinctures. Flipped through gorgeous herb books that left you wondering: Why don’t my remedies work?

Here’s the truth: How you make plant medicine is just as important as what you use.

The Modern Herbal Dispensatory reveals what clinical herbalists know—the techniques and preparations that unlock each herb’s full healing power. With 250 proven remedies and clear step-by-step instructions, it turns your kitchen into a real herbal pharmacy.

Inside You’ll Learn:
• 250 Proven Remedies for Real Results: Fire Cider that clears sinuses fast, Elderberry Syrup for immune support, Garlic-Mullein Oil for earaches, and more
• Why Preparation Matters: Get the right effect from the right form—bitters activate digestion when tasted, and yarrow tea may support sweating and gut relief better than capsules
• The Six Tissue States: Go beyond symptoms—match herbs to underlying imbalances like heat, cold, dampness, or tension
• The Math Made Easy: Master ratios, percentages, and dosages with clear, practical charts
• Extraction Methods, Demystified: From teas and tinctures to advanced percolation, fluid extracts, and Soxhlet setups—with full-color visual guides
• The 12 Categories of Herbs: Why pungent herbs extract best in alcohol, mucilants need water, and some must be dried before use
• Every Form, Every Function: Covers the full spectrum—from teas and tinctures to oils, lozenges, extracts, and advanced preparations
• Designed for Real Use: Includes full-color photo guides, sourcing tips, multiple appendices, and a complete index for quick reference

Most herb books tell you what plants do. The Modern Herbal Dispensatory shows you how to extract their full power—with the precision needed for results.

“If you’ve ever wondered which extraction method to use, or hesitated to try percolation, this clear and concise guide will become a trusted companion.”
—Guido Masé, co‑founder & co‑director, Vermont Center for Integrative Herbalism
