Medicinal Plants of the Western Mountain States Discover evidence-based medicinal plant application with a regional focus. Learn how to collect, prepare, and utilize 100+ wild plants of the western mountains. Read more For the advanced enthusiast or practitioner One of the few books to discuss a more-than entry-level approach to regional plant medicine, MPWMS best fits the reader with a desire to understand middle to advanced regional herbal therapeutics. One higher concept that is layered throughout the book is how most medicinal plants are multi-directional. Meaning, more than one organ system or tissue group is influenced by a single plant. With this principles implementation, its possible to replace a cumbersome formula of a dozen or more herbs with just one or two medicinal plants. Why a scientific/critical-thinking overlay is important Readers whom appreciate a filtering of information through the lens of critical thinking, will find this guide satisfying. Without a strongly reasonable orientation, medicinal plant information all too often becomes a container to sell, promote, or preach. Herein, those agendas are absent. Enjoy a medicinal plant book thats been written to inform rather than entice theres a difference. Research matters In the writing of this book, hundreds of peer-reviewed journal articles (full length, not on-line abstracts) were studied and scrutinized. The results of in-vivo/vitro studies found in scientific journals such as Phytomedicine, Journal of Ethnopharmacology, and Fitoterapia were synthesized with the authors first-hand experience, making MPWMS both conceptually and practically accurate. The specifics of medicinal plant application The inquisitive know its not enough to have book that simply matches xyz herb with xyz problem. This topical approach lacks curiosity and is limiting. The reader deserves more. MPWMS takes the time to explore why a medicinal plant may (or may not be) effective. Common is the discussion of a plants interaction with human physiology. A review of nervous system modulations, hormonal influences, and other secretory effects is standard fare. Read more Text as primary, photos as secondary MPWMS photo segment contains over 150 color photos, assisting the reader with each plants recognition; however, a pretty picture book, it is not. Text-heavy, this is a series of monographs written to relay medicinal depth and nuance. Geographical coverage and botanical descriptions The Rocky Mountain region and ranges to the west and south, are the books main focus. Accordingly, readers will find the discussion of each plants specific geographical distribution and mention of associate chains, counties, cities/towns, and regions helpful in a plants discovery. Not to forget botany fans, when writing of a plants identity, care has been giving to proper classification and botanical description. Preparations, dosages, and cautions Once the proper medicinal species has been selected and collected, now what? Listed is each plants choice preparation/s, and of equal importance, dosage recommendation. Additionally, a dedicated cautions section discusses potential toxicity issues related to pregnancy, nursing, pre-existing illness, and/or co-mingled pharmaceutical use. Index and helpful appendices Supporting the main text is a therapeutic index (dysfunction to medicinal plant cross-reference), glossary of terms, and bibliography. For general index lovers, a comprehensive listing of nomenclature, medicinal terminology, phytochemicals, towns, states, and any other noun of interest, allows quick textual access.
