These books represent years of clinical practice, research, and a deep love for the healing arts. I wrote them not simply to share information, but to offer a bridge—between the wisdom of traditional herbalism and the rigor of modern science, between surviving illness and truly thriving.
Whether you’re a practitioner seeking evidence-based protocols or someone navigating a health challenge, I hope these pages offer both practical guidance and a deeper understanding of what genuine healing can look like.
Four decades of clinical wisdom, distilled into practical guides for healing
“Donald Yance masterfully weaves together the ancient wisdom of traditional botanical medicines and the most up-to-date scientific research on degenerative disease, aging, and nutrition to provide effective solutions that address a host of modern day health challenges.”
~Dr. Mehmet Oz, MD, co-author of You: The Owner’s Manual and host of The Dr. Oz Show
“Donnie Yance has done it again! No where has such a voluminous and practical assortment of valid information about adaptogens been assembled in such a readable and useful format. I will be using this book in my research, in my daily life, and whenever I have a question about an ingredient I am using.”
~Martha Stewart
“Adaptogenic herbs, considered elixirs in many traditional cultures, have activities that move us beyond surviving into thriving. They are, perhaps, the most important medicines we have for not only surviving, but thriving in this age. Donnie Yance brings these herbs to you through their history, science, and his vast clinical experience, giving you the tools you need to revitalize your life. This is a must read for all of us who want to live up to our optimal capacities and then some!”
~Aviva Romm, MD, Clinical Herbalist, Midwife, Author of Botanical Medicine for Women’s Health
“Donald Yance probably knows more about treating cancer with herbs and alternative therapies and has helped more people with this dreaded disease than any other herbalist in the world. His depth of knowledge, commitment and passion for his work and the people he cares for are legendary. In his new book on Adaptogens, Donald brings the same level of research and detailed clinical insights to this important class of herbs that made his previous book on cancer a classic text.”
~David Winston, RH (AHG), Author of Adaptogens, Herbs for Strength, Stamina and Stress Relief
