Drawing on a wealth of oral and written traditions, the authors examine the best-known Russian herbs (all of which are widely available in North America and Western Europe) and explain their folkways, properties, and uses. Offering time-tested advice for using herbs to maintain general well-being, they also give clear and simple recipes for treating specific health problems from asthma and migraines to influenza and high blood pressure. Blessed with a wide variety of climates, geography, and flora, early Russians developed a rich folk tradition of herbal healing that ranks among the most sophisticated in the world. Nearly every Russian medical school offers courses of study on the knowledge and application of herbs, and many maintain a special research department that investigates the properties and practical modern applications of herbal medicine. This is the first book to examine the traditions of Russian herbal medicine. Review: Centuries of Russian herbal wisdom - For decades now, you can walk into any pharmacy in Russia and find herbal remedies on the shelves right alongside medicines. There is a simple reason for this: they work. Some of these remedies border on the amazing, they are that effective. This book is the first and only book in English that shares with you the centuries of Russian herbal wisdom. What you'll find here are not the usual pages of "Take this for high blood pressure, 3 capsules, twice a day," etc. Instead you'll be reading detailed accounts of not only how the herbs and plants have been used down through time, by Russian doctors and researchers as well as everyday people, but also the whys and hows of using them yourself, as well as clear and simple instructions on the varieties of methods for preparing these remedies at home. There are many stories about the plants themselves, stories that you may soon find yourself sharing with friends and family. For more scientifically-minded readers, the pharmacological effects of the plants are listed, together with any precautions or special points to note. All of these plants and herbs are available in the west. If not in your fields and forests, then via herb stores, either local or over the Internet. In regards to the author not listing the Russian names for plants: the Latin names of the plants are listed under their "botanical names." With these it's simple to either do a Wikipedia search or a Google search and find the Russian names. Make sure you can read Cyrillic before trying this! But please note that you don't need to read a word of Russian to benefit greatly from this book. Highly recommended for herbalists and anyone interested in natural remedies and healing. Review: A Very Useful Resource - I'm sorry I don't have time to review this book in depth, but seeing that it hasn't gotten any reviews yet, I want to recommend it as a very well put-together herbal, with good introductory chapters (one of which includes the use of the "water banya" in the Russian preparation of medicinal herbs, and how to make one), and an extensive materia medica. Most of the herbs listed are quite familiar, and some include pertinent folklore. The materia medica is followed by "Complex Herbal Formulas" relating to the various organ systems. The fact that it is a Russian herbal does not, by any means, make it obscure. (I only wish that, beneath the Latin name given for each herb, a translation of its Russian name were given.) I highly recommend it to anyone interested in herbalism. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #570,624 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #1,040 in Herbal Remedies (Books) #1,578 in Healing #26,770 in Medical Books (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 46 Reviews | ## Images ![A Russian Herbal: Traditional Remedies for Health and Healing - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71y2aB4uFwL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Centuries of Russian herbal wisdom *by M***. on December 2, 2012* For decades now, you can walk into any pharmacy in Russia and find herbal remedies on the shelves right alongside medicines.
