Modern Herbal Dispensatory: A Medicine-Making Guide

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
