   The author, Dian Dincin Buchman, Ph.D.
Using everyday foods and everyday plants for healing
This book treats common ailments with everyday foods and plants.
Because I am a great believer
in "simples"--the art of using only one plant at a time--the pharmacy
and
formulas are SIMPLE. My father was a natural doctor as well as a
pharmacist, my grandmother a
self-trained European herbalist and I have passed on all the natural
secrets
I learned in my family. One man wrote to me that this was the only book
he took with him on his
backpacking trip through Europe and Asia. I am proud that over 300,000
copies of this book have been sold throughout the world.

From Dian Dincin Buchman's Herbal Medicine:

"Many of the herbs presented in this book are foods that are in your
refrigerator, or on your
kitchen shelf. As far as I know, all these plants are available from
responsible
botanical firms, special pharmacies, or health stores

"This book can be used by novice herbalists, and I have deliberately
ignored, or mention
cautions on, those herbs that may be difficult or dan gerous to use,
especially if you
are an inexperienced herbalist.... There is a section devoted to the
herbal simples or
combinations that are known to be helpful in minor health problems.

"In some ways this is a personal home pharmacy workbook showing how
plant chemicals are released
for home use."
Illustrated with line drawings of herbs and step-by-step instructions
on how to prepare herbal
materials for use

Herbs have been used over thousands of years to cope with certain
health prob lems and--through
their regular use--for maintaining good health. Traditional herbal folk
remedies have led scientists to the development of numerous "mod em
drugs; aspirin and
tranquilizers are only two examples.

Dian Dincin Buchman's Herbal Medi cine is a detailed, practical manual
on how to choose and use
herbs to try 'both to relieve and to prevent such common maladies as
headache, muscular pain, throat problems, fever, allergies, insect
bites, diarrhea, nausea, and
much more.

The book is divided into three main sections, designed to make it
practical and easy to use:

� Section One lists 89 herbs either read ily available in the kitchen
or easily obtainable from
stores or mail-order herb specialists--a list of the latter is included-
-and details the
health useful ness of each herb.

� Section Two is the ''Herbal Selector," a list of common illnesses and-
-under each illness--the
specific herb prepara tion useful in trying either to alleviate or to
prevent the
illness.

� Section Three gives detailed, easy-to- follow instructions on how to
make at home the herbal
preparations de scribed in the first two sections: drying, storing, and
all the
specific methods- infusions (teas), decoctions, tinctures (usually
using either vodka or
brandy), medicated wines, ointments, gargles, liniments, and many more.

Other useful features of the book are:

� A key indicating those herbs that are especially useful for
preventive use;

� A list of herb preparations for a first- aid kit for trips;

� An extensive list of herbal resources: equipment, mail-order houses,
shops and pharmacies
specializing in herbs, societies, books, magazines, and others.
