herbal formularies for health professionals

The five-volume clinical herbal formulary is organized by body system and presents hundreds of herbal formulas for common health conditions. It includes traditional Western and Asian formulas as well as treatments tailored to specific energetic or symptomatic presentations.

The books are organized by body system. Each chapter includes materia medica entries for individual herbs (properties, modes of action, and the symptoms each herb addresses) plus sidebars and concise lists to help clinicians select and combine herbs for specific presentations.

Across the five volumes the set covers: digestion and elimination; circulation and respiration; endocrinology and reproductive systems; neurology, psychiatry, and pain management; and immune, ENT, and musculoskeletal conditions.

Each chapter includes a materia medica entry for individual herbs, with notes on properties, modes of action, and the specific symptoms or presentations each plant best addresses.

Page counts vary by volume, ranging from about 256 to 352 pages across the set. The books are printed in hardcover and are in English.

These books are intended as a comprehensive, practical reference for herbalists, physicians, nurses, and allied health professionals, and are also useful for students and practicing clinicians.

The books teach by example, using case examples and a chapter on the art of formulation, along with practical tools—sidebars and concise lists—that guide clinicians in fine‑tuning formulas for individual patients.

The final volume addresses autoimmune and allergic conditions (allergic rhinitis, asthma, hives, food sensitivities); ear/eye/nose/throat issues (eye infections, glaucoma, sinus infections, colds, sore throats, and oral infections); and musculoskeletal problems including sore muscles, bruising, fibromyalgia, arthritis, and osteoporosis.
