I'll never forget my grandmother telling me it was going to rain on a sunny day clear of clouds. I was young and didn't understand so I asked her how do you know it's going to rain? She said when I get her age I'd understand. I thought she was magical. And she was! I have read books like Dead Doctors Don't Lie, The Inflammation Syndrome by Jack Challen, Back to Eden and Sojourn to Honduras Sojourn to Healing by Beverly Oliver. These books have changed the way I view things in general and all together. I'm on my journey to starting my own tea business and want to become as knowledgeable as possible in order to be a help. So you are helping point me to a great start. Thank You Sir for sharing your knowledge and passion and wisdom.
In TCM ( traditional Chinese medicine) the word tonic refers to strengthening or building up, just like strengthening a muscle to have better muscle tone. In the traditional western sense, tonic refers to stimulating, a different concept. The difference between weightlifting or taking a shot of caffeine, in broad strokes.
@@tablerockteacompany hello, I am new to all of this. I was wondering if you have any recommendations on how to fight body fungus. Athletes foot, jock itch.,white bumps on elbows. Thank you in advance , any help you can give me would be highly appreciated.
@@CarlosSantana-we6ts Honestly, the best for that type of thing is a generic athletes foot cream you can buy over the counter in any pharmacy store - use it for all of those areas.
I find it interesting your take on the word tonic. When my daughter was 3 months old she had bad colic, we took her to our G.P. and he gave us a prescription that was filled at the pharmacy. It was called, Something or other Tonic! I remember the word tonic was in there because it made me think of the old westerns with Dr Feel Goods Tonic!!
Yeah - it’s what we in medicine would call a junk word (like “balm” or “elixir”) - no quantifiable substance to it and allows for a wide range to cover one’s butt, so to speak 😂
This is such a wonderfully objective and comprehensive list of books. Thank you for the breakdown and showing the content within the books you recommended. This was very helpful 😊
As a registered nurse I am trying to get to the in depth criteria needed to know what drugs and herbs interact. Is there a source you can direct me to for this missing link I am searching for? Thanks so much! Loved your video on your recommendations. I ordered 2 of them. 😊
This one is a rough read but it’s about the only one that gets well into the biochemistry. Normally I wouldn’t recommend it, but it’s what you’re asking for: amzn.to/47AREWo
Do any of these books explain the dangers of some herbs being used while on specific prescriptions? We ran into this issue when my mom was ill. Her prescription medicines were not helping, so she turned to herbal supplements. We were unaware the dangers of mixing some Supplements with pharmaceuticals.
I just saw they released a 2023 version of The Encyclopedia of Herbal Medicine. The one linked is the 2016 version and the one in your video is the 2000 version. Do you recommend any of the 3 versions or should we stick to buying the older two? Thanks for such great info!!!
You have great looking skin - Testament of how healthy you're inside. Great topic & a great video. Clear concise and just well spoken. I believe totally in herbs and herbal medicine & have been practicing that since I was 9 yrs old. Nothing I cannot treat or cure. It's a gift but mastering it is a whole 'other thing - very important. Thanks for sharing. So refreshing
Wow thank you sir for this video, I'm in my 20s now doing making my career in engineering software and in whole IT feeling bored suffered a lot but you're a life saver thank you 🥺😢 my parents well they don't accept what I say but you're great thank you once again for this video and truly the books I got they're helping me looking forward to learn survival skills
This is the guide I prayed for, thank you. I pray in the mighty authority of Jesus Christ that you may be blessed with more life for sharing you your wisdom with an open heart.
I really appreciate you sir, the 3 books I will purchase based off of your reviews are the Herbal encyclopedia, Merck and the Tabers encyclopedia. Much respect to you. Let me know your thoughts, I’m a 44 year old male!!!
I beginning to intermediate on my herbal journey. I don't want to waste time and money on fluff. I have limited knowledge of the medical industry. I have medical Herbalisum. It has been a little challenging at times. But I have enjoyed it. Do you think I would benifit from the set of herbalist guide to formulary. Thanks
Hi in 22:00 you mentioned the effective ingredient in the plants what book do you recommend for this For example you go to the merk manual to find out what is treatment protocol then what do i have to buy the nurse drug book or the merl will help me with this and then what book to choose the right herb with the effective ingredient if you can give advice and how the process go with books recommendation this will be helpful
The Merck and Tabers won’t really help you much on the plant side (more for medical terminology and physiology). For effective plant ingredients, the quickest/simple one is amzn.to/3Ox19NE For (significantly) more in depth, I recommend the 5 vol series for health professionals (but again, it assumes you know medical terminology and physiology). Here’s volume one: amzn.to/3QyV4Dk
👉 Gracias Very Mucho! I appreciate your sharing! I am ordering the encyclopedia and plant medicine books under your link. By the way, what is your view about the books by Nicole Apelian?
@tablerockteacompany Thumbs-up! I received my encyclopedia yesterday, and I will receive my plant medicine book within a week. I hope your links work properly.
I have been fortunate to have found books in thrift stores and garage sales abd and even in antique stores never know where you will find one. I think my moat expensive ine was $4.00. Happy hunting.
All of these books are expensive except 2. Used books are just as expensive when you pay shipping. There are alot of really good cheaper books out there if you just search for what you are wanting to learn.
I've found that in most things, you get what you pay for. On the flip side, there are a lot of expensive books with very little substance. I can definitely tell you that you won't find the information in those Healthcare Professional books anywhere else.
Nothing! Even words like, ‘elixir’ should only refer to the mechanism of delivery (tablet, IV, injection, etc) - it shouldn’t be used to refer to its nebulous effects.
@urbancuranderauk8675 Maybe an example would clarify: If I infuse aspirin into vodka and call it an "acetylsalicylic acid tonic," I'd be referring to 'tonic' as its delivery mechanism (infused alcohol by mouth), but the medicinal component (aspirin) is quite clear and we know very well how it works physiologically. But if I call it a 'blood tonic,' alluding to the idea that it offers some vague improvement to the blood (in this case, anticoagulation), that's a problem and it signals that I have no clue as to how (or if) it actually works. That, as Bon Jovi would say, is bad medicine :)

@@shutterchick79- in either case, ‘tonic’ is still a vague catchall term, but it is good for folks to know the difference.
I'm glad you included Richo Cech.
His company Strictly Medicinal Seeds is top class.
I primarily refer to Culpeper and Greaves.
I’ll have to ‘Cech’ out Culpeper & Greaves 😎
I was looking for copper and found GOLD. Thank you very much, doc!!
Glad the video is helpful :)

Total agree with you about the rosemary gladstar book. She is a sweet lady but I like the scientific proof of the herbs.
Yeah - I like her personally, but it helps to have a balance to the folkloric side of herbalism.
I just found my Native American Indian Medicinal Herb book. I knew I had it in storage. Going to add it to my books.
Excellent

I haven’t read any of Apelian’s books but you are the second person this week who’s asked, so I’ll have to check some out snd do a review:)
@tablerockteacompany Thumbs-up! I received my encyclopedia yesterday, and I will receive my plant medicine book within a week. I hope your links work properly.
@@WordsByAsti Thanks and Enjoy! I’m sure if you arrived at them by the links, they’ll work - Amazon Associates is pretty good about that.
I have been fortunate to have found books in thrift stores and garage sales abd and even in antique stores never know where you will find one. I think my moat expensive ine was $4.00. Happy hunting.
Hopefully some of these were in your finds.
I’m going to Dallas in two weeks and I’ll make a stop at a couple of the Half Price books locations. Can’t wait to see what I find!
Also wondering your thoughts on using a nebulizer for administering infusions for respiratory conditions. ???
You’d have to be really cautious with a nebulizer - especially on dosages. Read up on steam inhalations and extrapolate from there.
@@tablerockteacompany

Yet, they are all on Amazon and with a Prime Membership (low monthly fee) the shipping on all orders is free.
@@dannettepeters1507 - yup - I think all of these are available on Amazon (there is a newer version of the encyclopedia)
In two weeks I’m going to Dallas which means trips to the flagship Half Price bookstore. Can’t wait to see what I find..😊
College in America is expensive, books are not in comparison.
I have a DK book:
"The Complete Medicinal Herbal" by
Penelope Ody...1993 edition
Is it as need as your 1st one btw?
Thnx, it's great info u offer!
Those books are very similar but I do like the encyclopedia a little better. Glad you liked the video.
I am interested
Links are in the video description
“ Encyclopedia of Herbal Medicine: 550 Herbs and Remedies for Common Ailments”, also from DK is considerably better encyclopedia… in my opinion. 😎
It’s probably the latest edition from the look/sound of it. I’ve had mine for a while :)
Incredible reviews, thank you. Happy to find you🌿📚💎

What word should be used instead of tonic? 😕
Nothing! Even words like, ‘elixir’ should only refer to the mechanism of delivery (tablet, IV, injection, etc) - it shouldn’t be used to refer to its nebulous effects.
