Drawing heavily upon vintage western pharmacopoeias, Advanced Herbal Pharmacy uncovers and brings forth what was considered common knowledge to turn of the century (19th\/20th) pharmacists\/chemists; that is, how to prepare effective herbal medicines with efficiency and without overly elaborate equipment. These well-prepared herbal medicines (or rather 'organic drugs') went on to successfully treat a variety of disfunctions, some of which modern medicine struggles with, even to this day. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDedicated instruction is given to the following preparations: Bath, Capsule, Confection, Douche, Elixir, Emulsion, Enema, Essence, Eyewash, Fluidextract, Fomentation, Glycerite, Medicated Honey, Hydrosol (usage only), Juice, Liniment, Lotion, Lozenge, Mucilage, Essential Oil (usage only), Infused Oil, Ointment, Oleoresin, Oxymel, Plasma, Poultice, Powder, Resin, Salve, Sitz Bath, Solid Extract, Spirit, Suppository, Syrup, Tea, Tincture (Percolation and Maceration), Vinegar, Nasal Wash, Medicated Water, and Medicated Wine. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlso included are percolation and fluidextract worksheets and specific tips\/recommendations on various set-ups using lab glassware and cut-glass bottles as percolation cones. The repository lists specific tincture alcohol\/water ratios and dosage recommendations for 450+ herbs. The Latin to common name (and reverse) cross-reference maintains 3000+ entries. For the formula-maker, 100+ herbal combinations are presented (with proportions and instructions) as therapeutic examples. Many are custom, arising from the author's decades-long herbal practice, and then others are traditional originating from the older pharmacopoeias. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is not an entry-level herbal book, nor a Materia Medica. Advanced Herbal Pharmacy is for the practitioner (or enthusiast), who values a sensible, nuts-and-bolts approach and desires to prepare herbal medicines properly. A properly prepared herbal medicine translates to one that is effective (if applied correctly). When the herbal medicine is effective, people get better, the field improves, and the subject evolves.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBack Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e450+ herb repository (preparation\/dosage recommendations, menstruum proportions)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ePercolation cone set-up (illustrated) Percolation and fluidextract worksheets\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e100+ herbal formulas\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e3000+ Latin to common name (and reverse) cross-reference\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ePreparation\/Dosage equivalency table\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eStandard, metric, and apothecary unit conversions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 152\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.7 x 11.1 x 8.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e April 04, 2020\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51769591234848,"sku":"9780998287164","price":49.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/ccf2e37e4afb9fa616ab4f11051ad043.webp?v=1780351473","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/advanced-herbal-pharmacy-the-practitioners-guide-to-preparation-formulation-and-compounding-hardcover","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
