The Ecology of Herbal Medicine introduces botanical medicine through
an in-depth exploration of the land, presenting a unique guide to plants
found across the American Southwest. An accomplished herbalist and
geographer, Dara Saville offers readers an ecological manual for
developing relationships with the land and plants in a new theoretical
approach to using herbal medicines.
Designed to increase our understanding of plants' rapport with their
environment, this trailblazing herbal speaks to our innate connection to
place and provides a pathway to understanding the medicinal properties
of plants through their ecological relationships. With thirty-nine plant
profiles and detailed color photographs, Saville provides an extensive
materia medica in which she offers practical tools and information
alongside inspiration for working with plants in a way that restores our
connection to the natural world.
