Description



Book Synopsis



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

What Makes This Book Different:

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

Perfect For:

- Beginners ready to move beyond DIY tea blends
- Herbalists who want consistent, potent formulas
- Health practitioners expanding into plant-based care
- Anyone building a natural medicine cabinet that works

The Herbal Standard for Over a Decade:

Used in schools, clinics, and apothecaries nationwide, The Modern Herbal Dispensatory is the go-to reference for serious herbalists.

Your herbs are only as powerful as your methods. Now's the time to make real medicine.



Review Quotes




"This is a phenomenal addition to the herbal bookshelf. It fills the need for a large, comprehensive herbal formulary--the likes of which we have not seen for a hundred years--yet it is so much more than that: a complete guide to the serious use of herbs from the field and forest to the single remedy or formula in clinic."
--Matthew Wood, author of The Earthwise Herbal books

"This is now the standard medicine-making textbook for schools of herbal medicine. It contains more methods and more forms than anything else in print, all clearly explained and demonstrated, with bonus materials on herbal energetics and materia medica."
--Paul Bergner, director, North American Institute of Medical Herbalism, editor,
Medical Herbalism journal

"The Modern Herbal Dispensatory relies on the solid foundation that comes from direct interaction with living, breathing botanicals. To this it adds a specificity gleaned from twenty-first century science: clear guidelines rooted in chemistry and physiology provide definitive answers to questions of extraction method, solvent, timing, and formulation. If you've ever wondered which extraction method to use for a given plant, or felt reluctant to try advanced techniques like percolation, this clear and concise reference guide will become a trusted companion. A must-have for herbal educators, clinicians, and manufacturers alike!"
--Guido Masé, cofounder and codirector, Vermont Center for Integrative Herbalism

"Thomas Easley and Steven Horne have done it once again. In the Modern Herbal Dispensatory, historic traditions of medicine making have been captured and shared in a way that empowers the modern lay herbalist to capture the benefits of botanical medicine in the most accessible and potent form. Weaving together folk teachings and scientific perspectives, this book bridges the spectrum of herbal medicine to provide an inspiring, detailed, and practical handbook for herbalists at all levels of experience. This guide should be on the bookshelves of every herbal school, home apothecary, and herbal production facility."
--Emily Ruff, executive director, Florida School of Holistic Living

This book provides you with so much information. As a person who is just beginning to dive into creating clean teas, body butters, tonics. This book has allowed me to receive a ton load of information and understanding to the process of doing so. It provides you with information on many herbs and websites where you can find your herbs if not accessible to you remotely.
