A WORKING HERBAL DISPENSARY: RESPECTING HERBS AS INDIVIDUALS BY LUCY JONES

A beautifully illustrated guide on how to understand and engage with medicinal
herbs.

In her fascinating second book, full time medical herbalist Lucy Jones shares
the characters and medicinal virtues of 108 herbs that she works with in her
practice. Each herb is written as an individual that she knows and respects,
rather than simply a list of conditions it treats or the constituents it
contains.

Guided by Lucy's engaging and thoughtful prose, readers will journey through the
physiological actions, energetic qualities, and emotional resonances of
individual herbs, as well as qualities according to Tibetan Medicine, where they
apply. Also included are historical views, magical associations, recipes for the
home apothecary and many informal case studies to illustrate the virtues of the
herbs.

Beautifully illustrated with colour photographs throughout, A Working Herbal
Dispensary is more than your run of the mill herbal; it is an insight into a
holistic practice where herbs and herbalist are working in partnership for the
benefit of those that need help.

"The book is a rare gem, as it is not just re-writing every other herb book but
comes from the heart of a busy practitioner who uses herbs clinically every day.
Lucy doesn't just 'use' the herbs to 'fix what's broken', rather she understands
how they holistically heal the whole person. These monographs are not just short
paragraphs of what conditions the plants are 'good for', but a top-notch
interweaving of tradition and experience that capture the medicinal essence of
the plants. 'The binding of this book is going to become well-worn over the
years."
Sajah Popham, founder of 'The School of Evolutionary Herbalism'

"Another wonderful herbal from Lucy, rich in ancient lore and insights from the
Tibetan tradition brilliantly interwoven with wisdom, experience, and practical
tips from a working herbalist and a self-sufficient one too! With fascinating
and detailed descriptions of over one hundred herbs, enlivened by photos of
herbs lovingly grown and foraged by Lucy, this book is testimony to the living
tradition of herbalism in England and a great opportunity to learn how a
clinical herbalist implements the tools of their trade. Thank you, Lucy!"
Anne McIntyre, medical herbalist (FNIMH) and author of 'The Complete Herbal
Tutor' and 'Healing with Flowers'

"This work will undoubtedly go on to become canon in the arena of herbal
medicine. It does not just provide information, with Lucy's deep understanding
and long clinical practice, it's also experiential.  A Working Herbal Dispensary
takes us on a journey into the plant kingdom; a journey where we experience and
really connect with the energies, and magic, we encounter when we work with
healing plants."
Karen Stone, founder of the Arura Healing Centre and practitioner of Traditional
Tibetan Medicine

A Working Herbal Dispensary is published by Aeon Books, and will be available
from the end of May 2023.


MODERN IRIDOLOGY: A HOLISTIC GUIDE TO READING THE EYE BY SARAH DONOGHUE

A practical, accessible and insightful handbook on reading the eye.

The human eye is a blueprint of the bodies genetically inherited strengths and
weaknesses: a comprehensive health profile that allows one to make informed
dietary and lifestyle choices that fully support one's unique constitution.

This book is a guide to the often-misunderstood subject; a practical manual that
can be easily used by holistic practitioners, medical professionals and
interested enthusiasts alike. Complete with high quality photographs, charts and
detailed case studies, this essential book should be a staple on every modern
herbalists' bookshelf.

Taking a holistic approach, author Sarah Donoghue explores the subject of
iridology from a scientific, physical and emotional perspective. It allows
readers to safely examine the iris and make confident assessments, as well as
formulate individualised herbal, dietary and lifestyle interventions based on
information gleaned from the depths of the endlessly fascinating iris!

Sarah Donoghue is an herbalist and naturopath with over thirteen years’
experience working with botanical medicines. She completed her training at the
College of Naturopathic Medicine in London in 2007 where she studied western
herbalism, Ayurveda, traditional Chinese herbal medicine, and Iridology.

Sarah now runs a busy practice on the Cornish coast in the South West of
England, where she manufactures her own range of herbal tinctures and skincare
products. Sarah is passionate about herbal education and writes widely on the
topic of self sufficient herbalism and historical remedies. She has published
many articles both online and in print.

Sarah is also proud to be an Ambassador for the Herb Society.

You can find out more about Sarah and her work at https://alchemilla.co/ or by
reading her fascinating newsletter https://theherbalistsdiary.substack.com/


HERBAL ALLIANCE

At the end of 2019, Sebastian Pole, member of the APA, RCHM and honorary member

associations in the UK, to organise a 'Unity Day' with an objective to focus on
our connectedness as a herbal community, to coordinate our efforts together to
raise awareness and build confidence in the safety, efficacy and sustainability
of herbal medicine as well as creating a unifying voice. [ Read more ]

   This little one is learning about #dandelions as #foodandmedicine
   With the news saying children are suffering + not being treated isn't it time
   Herbalists spoke out?🤔
   As we treat everyone and all conditions, we can help, but do people know how
   to find us?🗝️
   Interesting this little girl is eating a chocolate bar, as high sugar + lack
   of good nutrition, can contribute to UTI'S.
   🙏🏻 To @alysonmaiernaturopath
   for the super children's books she has produced #plantain and #yarrow
   medicine too.

   How many grow forage + harvest herbs for their dispensary.
   For many #herbalists this is a large part of the lifestyle, and job
   satisfaction.
   Students often feel it's all about studying + deadlines so time for this
   becomes rare.
   Supporting students is something the URHP does well, have you checked out the
   website + thought about student membership?
