by Terry Thorne
Thorne's Guide to Herbal Extracts, Volume I is a compilation of the historical uses of
herbal extracts with a complete index of body conditions, Latin index, and a complete
list of references. This volume covers 192 single herbs and 49 herbal combinations.
Now
it has been fully updated and revised!
Thorne's Guide to Herbal Extracts, Volume II is written in the same format and
covers 148 different single herbs and 37 combinations, including traditional Chinese
formulas. It also contains a complete index for body conditions as well as a Latin
index and a complete list of references.
These volumes have comb bindings which allow for easy use as the books stay flat
while open. In both volumes, the index makes it simple to find the right herb for you
and locating the text on the herb is easy as all herbs are listed alphabetically.
Terry's experience of more than twenty five years using and researching herbs,
including over 15 years producing extracts for three different extract companies,
makes these volumes a valuable resource for anyone interested in the historical
uses of extracts.
From the editor, Volume I (updated & revised): "This book is designed for use,
not only by the professional but by the novice as well. Terry has taken great care
to ensure every section of this book is in an easy-to-understand language and format.
Medical terms have been either defined in the text or put into "every-day" words for
easy readability. "This book does not provide data on where the plants grow or how
they are harvested, but rather concise and extensive data on the historical uses of
herbs and the effect they have on the body. Terry has used his personal and
professional experience along with his research skills to compile the extensive
information available from the finest resources possible. All information contained
herein was taken from the resources listed in the references. "Terry has
observed the positive influences that these herbal extract foods precipitate
and the awakening of life that ensues. Now, he shares that with you."
From The Herbal Connection, "New Books" review (medicinal): "Excellent reference
book on herbal extracts, cross-indexed by physiological problem and specific extract.
Information under each herb contains part used for extract, dosage and usage. If you're
using extracts, manufacturing them or selling them, this would be an extremely helpful
addition to your library. And if this book isn't enough, Volume II is now available with
over 150 more extracts."
