Formulary:
Crafting Formulas
in Herbal Medicine
Next to connecting with plants, formulary is at the heart of herbal education and is a key process in herbal medicine. The business of entrepreneurial herbalism, the clinical applications, even the heritage can come later, but knowing the plants intimately and learning how to combine and use them is essential. The history of formulary traditions is fascinating, and learning about the varied healing philosophies from around the world gives us an appreciation for the rich heritage of healing with plants.
