botanical medicine. The coverage is comprehensive, from the first
volume on digestion and elimination through to this ultimate volume
on immune, EENT, and musculoskeletal conditions. I appreciate as
well the book’s opening chapter on the art of formulation, which

needed reference!”—Linnea Wardwell, cofounder, Herbal Educational
Services, BotanicalMedicine.org

updating and filling in gaps in our dispensary stock to better
serve our customers. I believe this book will similarly inform the
dispensing practices of practitioners of all experience levels.

speak to a broader, dynamic audience. This book offers mature
templates for improvisation to treat a myriad of complex health
conditions with botanical medicines.”—Benjamin Zappin, LAc,

practice. It is also an aspect that intimidates many practitioners,
especially those newer to herbal medicine. Jill Stansbury’s book is
a valuable guide to formulation that will lend a strong guiding
hand for herbalists of all skill levels. Her language is clear,
instructive, and easy to read. She gives multiple examples drawn
from her extensive practice, and her explanations offer direction
for working with individual patients.”—7Song, director, Northeast
