a compilation of over 120 medicinal trees & 500 scientifically validated studies

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Imagine forests, gardens, parks, planted with each tree carefully selected for a medicinal benefit. Trees to alleviate pain or manage chronic illnesses such as diabetes. Trees to provide food as well as medicine. All these trees are with us today. All the research has been done. No one simply had not yet joined up the obvious links. This reference book shows the way.

Such forests may support isolated communities; inform mainstream health systems; may supply unique drugs to hospitals; may provide incomes for rural communities and could empower women in the work force.

To imagine such a forest after reading this book will not be hard. Furthermore, after reading this book you cannot imagine anyone cutting down such a forest ever as it will have more value standing, flourishing and producing, and hence the trees will be protected by the people it will serve.

Many reports and papers note that over 50% of all modern medicines are derived from natural sources, such as trees. If so, then why do so many people have little or no knowledge of it or have access to beneficial medicine? The most basic example is the Willow tree that provides salicylic acid to make aspirin.

For Paul, a qualified naturopath and herbalist from Australian Traditional Medicine Society (1988), it is clear that knowledge, dissemination and education is required. The World Health Organization (WHO) has long been advocating Alternative and Complementary Medicine as a solution to the developing world's health issues. Therefore, it is not a matter of effectiveness but rather of enhancing awareness of the possibilities, also for the developed world with their medical challenges.

The measure of an ethical society is the ability to deliver healthcare to all its people regardless of race, social status or location. Growing 'pharmacies' near villages, towns and cities and the education necessary to access effective use of them, will enable a powerful change to occur.

Tree Medicine, a reference book, includes the remarkably easy methods of processing the leaves, bark, roots of trees into medicinal extracts, tisanes, and ointments. It is to inspire the reader to grow and learn and act.

With the many challenges humanity faces today, imagine planting a medical forest, and becoming a Medical Forester.

Autorenporträt

Paul Evers (née Thompson) has his origins in Sydney Australia, as well as the outback of the New South Wales, in the wheat and rice belt in the central west of the state.In 1988 he gained his qualifications as a naturopath, a practitioner of herbal medicine, from the mother of Australian traditional medicine, Dorothy Hall, who established the Australian Traditional Medicine Society and who published 'Dorothy Hall's Herbal Medicine' that same year.Years of learning and research commenced with the objective to unleash the hidden medicinal value of growing plants and trees to the benefit of society.Paul beliefs alternative and traditional medical systems can and must enhance the modern science and technologies of medicine available. He is a longtime advocate of antibiotic restrictions yet is equally a longtime supporter of vaccine therapies. His unswerving belief is that alternative and traditional medicines must be rigorously researched in order to deliver the best outcomes, especially for almost half the global population who rely on them, whilst at the same time become more integrated in the daily modern medical practices.The objective of writing about medicinal plants and trees is to elevate the knowledge to a critical asset for population health and wellbeing, and thereby re-connecting humans with their surrounding vegetation whilst ensuring the protection of trees, plants and forests into the future.The challenge in condensing the scientific literature for his books was to arrive at a concise and easily understood review of each plant that excluded un-supported claims.With more people learning about the health benefits of plants and trees, located close to homes, along roads, in parks, a new and vibrant interest in the cultivation, management and harvesting of these crucial ecosystems can only grow. His books are simply the beginning.Paul has the gift to connect his research and understanding of the abundant natural properties of plants to the medicinal needs of people, the people surrounding them.He writes in a conversational tone to reach the general public, to inspire readers to curiosity and discovery.
