Medicinal Plants of the Pacific West By Michael Moore ISBN 1878610-31-7 |
 |
In Medicinal Plants of the Pacific West, Michael Moore, renowned herbalist, teacher, and author of several medicinal plant books, presents a one-of-a-kind guide to over 300 specieis of plants gepgraphically ranging from Baja California to Alaska. This uniquely attractive book educates the reader to both native and introduced species within the region. With over eighty line drawings, forty-four color photographs, maps, and a glossary, this book contains clear ans realiable information on:
- Identification and safe use of the plants
- Appearance, habitats, collecting methods, and storage
- Therapeutic users, constituents, and preparations
- Potential toxicities and medical contraindications
- tea making, tincturing, and salve making
"If you like your herbal medicine with a proper amount of scientific terminology, a dollap of dry humor, a salting of opinionated pronouncements, and a dash of high jinks, Michael Moore's latest book, In Medicinal Plants of the Pacific West, is just your cup of brew, West coast herbalists, naturalists, and wildflower enthusiasts will find renewed appreciation for the plants of their bioregion from even a cursory reading of thi deeply detrailed work. Makes me want to move West."
