Here is a herbal reference guide for holistic health care professionals and informed consumers alike. It is designed to enable on-the-spot choices of herbs which are likely to facilitate healing based on individual characteristics or 'keynotes.' Written by an ethnobotanist and clinical practitioner of herbalism it was born out of an appreciation for the work of naturally oriented physicians of the 19th and 20th centuries - as well as the distilled practical wisdom of grandmothers woman elders and North and South American shamans. Most importantly it represents the author's own 'peak' experiences during travels taken expressly for the purpose of studying and harvesting herbs in their native habitats.
