A must have for people who are serious about herbal medicine!
5 Feb 2012
It's truly refreshing to read a book on botanical medicines with such weight and depth; a book that clearly took years and years of clinical experience and research to create. This is one of the very very few textbooks on herbal medicine that can truly be called comprehensive. A genuine gift for the reader who wants up-to-date and reliable information on more than 200 important medicinal herbs used today.
The Energetics of Western Herbs by Peter Holmes is unique in so many respects, it's hard to list them all. But the key to this book is integration on many levels: pharmacology and energetics, Western and Chinese herbal medicine, modern phytotherapy and traditional empirical herbal practice. This is because the author is one of the very few truly integral thinkers in the realm of holistic medicine. He stretches himself and the reader into the newly emerging terrain of thought that not only bridges east and west, but also includes the relationships between culture and the individual, the macrocosm and the microcosm. And he does this in a concrete and rational way that transcends some of the New Age philosophies that lack depth when scrutinized.
This book goes well beyond its years and I can say with certainty that I've yet to find any herbal textbook that compares. As a holistic care provider I consider it essential for my practice. This is a book that any serious foreward thinking person should own with an interest in herbal medicines or the broader cultural history of herbal medicine itself.
