Description

This is the book Donnie wrote for clinicians — a systematic reference on adaptogenic and tonic herbs, their traditional use across Ayurvedic, Chinese and Western herbal systems, and the framework he uses to think about them in practice. It covers plant profiles, preparation forms, and the reasoning behind combining herbs rather than using them singly.

It is written at a professional level, with references throughout, so it reads more like a textbook than an introduction. Students, herbalists, naturopaths and integrative practitioners are the intended audience.

What to look for when choosing one: check that you are buying the current edition, and consider hardcover for a book you expect to return to often.
