Publisher's Synopsis
Edited by Jesse Wolf Hardin & Kiva Rose Foreword by Paul Bergner "By my count, in the last year, articles have appeared in Plant Healer Magazine by the founders of more than twenty North American herbal schools - fourteen of these are represented in theTreasury of Herbal Wisdom, representing every region in the country. Another fourteen herbalist practitioner/teachers appear in this collection, each with their own creative voice and accumulated experience. Plant Healer is the only resource available today, in print, on the internet, or at any conference, where you can encounter this diversity from among the innovators, the cutting edge thinkers, writers, teachers, and practitioners who are driving the creative evolution of herbalism in North America today." -Paul Bergner (North American Institute of Medical Herbalism) Presenting a collection of intriguing and information-packed articles for the students and practitioners of herbalism at every level, as gleaned from that esteemed quarterly: Plant Healer Magazine.
