Review
—Matthew Wood, author of The Earthwise Herbal books
“This is now the standard medicine-making textbook for schools of herbal medicine. It contains more methods and more forms than anything else in print, all clearly explained and demonstrated, with bonus materials on herbal energetics and materia medica.”
—Paul Bergner, director, North American Institute of Medical Herbalism, editor,
Medical Herbalism journal
“The Modern Herbal Dispensatory relies on the solid foundation that comes from direct interaction with living, breathing botanicals. To this it adds a specificity gleaned from twenty-first century science: clear guidelines rooted in chemistry and physiology provide definitive answers to questions of extraction method, solvent, timing, and formulation. If you’ve ever wondered which extraction method to use for a given plant, or felt reluctant to try advanced techniques like percolation, this clear and concise reference guide will become a trusted companion. A must-have for herbal educators, clinicians, and manufacturers alike!”
—Guido Masé, cofounder and codirector, Vermont Center for Integrative Herbalism
“Thomas Easley and Steven Horne have done it once again. In the Modern Herbal Dispensatory, historic traditions of medicine making have been captured and shared in a way that empowers the modern lay herbalist to capture the benefits of botanical medicine in the most accessible and potent form. Weaving together folk teachings and scientific perspectives, this book bridges the spectrum of herbal medicine to provide an inspiring, detailed, and practical handbook for herbalists at all levels of experience. This guide should be on the bookshelves of every herbal school, home apothecary, and herbal production facility.”
—Emily Ruff, executive director, Florida School of Holistic Living

5.0 out of 5 stars Advanced herbalists. Not meant for starting out in learning your herbs.
Some people call this a simple book.But then some people call this an advanced book.When you know what you are doing and you already hold so much knowledge and have so many books as it is that go into such great depth of each herb, what it does, and all the pictures you could possibly need, yes a condensed recipe book is extremely nice to have and is a unique addition to my library.This book is not meant for you to be learning about your herbs.This book is meant for you to know your herbs.Beginners won't necessarily know what to do with this book unless they have all the herbs and are on a hands on learning.There are no pictures, another thing beginners would find useful and tend to prefer.Because the descriptions are short,beginners can take it as a short introduction with recipes to try and have other books to dive into detail of what interests them.For advanced herbalists, such as myself,I must admit, the first sentence I read of an herb was of how deep roots grew of alfalfa, and how it goes further than what other plants can reach. I have a vast book library. That was more than the it has deep roots offered by my other books. Impressive and couldn't be a better sign.So, advanced herbalists, the short descriptions of things seems more of a brush up of what you are making and the recipes are amazing. I have nothing like this on my shelves.I would say this is directed more towards those who are already immersed in herbalism,but welcome beginners, for the overviews give you a quick sense of what there is to offer when making your own herbal medicines--what you can make and the herbs that are used so you can be directed to study those specific herbs to start your journey with herbalism. You will be back to this book as your knowledge grows.Someone complained of sources being listed in the herbs and make it come off like an advertisement and why not just list in the appendix.The sources for the herbs vary within certain companies, and the person who made the comment lacks realization how helpful the authors have made it for herbalists to obtain seeds/herbs. These aren't all your everyday herbs, and putting a company or companies with the herb is very helpful instead of cross referencing a list. (also makes a lil more space to write notes) but that is my opinion on that.I digress,I find myself nodding along while reading and giving every now and again a 'Oh, look at that, that herb is being used like that.'This is a must have book for advanced herbalists. A bonus for those who have great ease in cross referencing to other books.It is unlike anything I have in my close to 30 books herbal library.
5.0 out of 5 stars Great book
Quick delivery. Safe arrived perfect. Love the book. Written well. Viable information, easy to understand and implementable.
5.0 out of 5 stars Plant medicine
Packed full of knowledge and wisdom on plants
5.0 out of 5 stars very detailed
This book goes in detail about all forms to extract the plant’s benefits and gives explanations of each option.It has few recipesIt has many herbs and their specifications and usages.I didn’t read all of them but I did read all the ones that pretended to my research. I will definitely continue to come back to this book while making my formulas
4.0 out of 5 stars Great find but needs an update
The good thing about this book is it’s obvious the authors have extensive hands on experience working with herbs. There’s a lot of tips and nuances that they offer which makes me really enjoy reading this book. There’s so much to learn. The book also includes a section on herbs and their properties including some that are difficult to find info on. The only thing is that the authors present a multitude of solvents for herbal extractions but they have a clear preference for alcohol extracts which I personally try to stear clear of or use as little as possible because of its dampening effects. And there’s a typos that I catch here and there throughout the book. For example,Pg 24 “For many herbs, [alcohol] tinctures are the preferred preparation. However, some people’s religious beliefs prohibit the use of water, and tinctures aren’t recommended for…” What they meant to write was “prohibit the use of alcohol” not water.And then some recipes were written in a confused manner. When suggesting X recipe to avoid the use of Y, the first step in the recipe indicates the use of Y which defeats the whole purpose of this method. Unless the use of Y is optional.I just think this book when and it’s if revised will be of better use. Otherwise this might not be good for extremely beginner herbalists who don’t have the experience to catch these errors and copy them in their own preparations.
5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent resource!
Wonderful resource! I’m new to herbal medicine and wanted something with recipes, ratios, and dosages. THIS IS IT!!! So much good info!
5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent for all levels of herbalists!
I found this book to be excellent and even better than expected. I have been studying herbalism for a few years now, so am not a beginner, but not a clinical herbalist either. It is perfect both for someone just beginning their herbal journey as the information is written in an approachable and usable fashion, however I also believe the more advanced herbalist would benefit from this text as there are numerous details included along with a chapter on advanced techniques. Additionally there is information on essential oils, flower waters and the like, that tends to be something more familiar to aromatherapists. Yet, these are truly an excellent addition to one's plant healing repertoire, so it was nice to see them seamlessly added in. I was pleasantly surprised at the materia medica at the end. It is extremely thorough and contained many familiar herbs, but also many new ones. There is also dosing information included which I found helpful. My only suggestion, primarily because I am a visual learner, is it would have been nice to to have pictures of each herb, especially because there were quite a few that were new to me, but as the authors point out there are many other books for that, so it wasn't a big problem.This is definitely an excellent addition to your herbal library! Easy to read and understand, but thorough in its information! I am extremely pleased I purchased it! I plan to share this title with others when I teach courses on herbalism as it provides an excellent foundations and builds to advanced skills.
Awesome book but

great, informative book!
An essential guide! a must have and very informative.
The Herb Bible itself
This should be the basis for every herbalist. They don't just mention things, but they are clearly, precisely described including the compound names and processes. This is a complete guide to deal with herbs the way we should. It is a very well structured, deeply informational book.
Exceptional
This is quite possibly the best herbal medicine book you’ll ever buy.The content is set out in such an easy to find, read and follow manner, well structured, with a concise and extensive array of herbal remedies for almost all requirements.If you’re into a more natural, herbal approach, and you don’t buy this book, you’ll probably regret it for the rest of your life.
