$12.95 This book was my first herb dictionary. Plants are listed
alphabetically by their latin name, with their common name listed second.
Each listing has a description, distribution, constituents, uses, cultivation,

store for vitamins and such. The VNR color dictionary of herbs and herbalism edited by Malcolm Stuart.

This book for botanists, chemists, & holistic health practitioners
is an illustrated encyclopedia of herbs--more than 250 of
them--whose medicinal value has been recognized for centuries
by the Chinese. Much of the material presented is the result
of translation of definitive Chinese works on the subject. In
the book the author lists the botanical & pharmacological
data for each herb; the drugs of mineral & animal origin used
in Chinese medicine; a table of poisonous herbs; & a section
of prescriptions for some 150 human ills or ailments. Each
entry includes the herb's Latin name, its English name, a
line drawing, & a botanical description. In the book there
are herbal remedies for everything from anemia to asthma,
tetanus to toothaches. (Publisher supplied)

Many of these Patent Medicines have been in continuous use
for over 1,000 years. Today, they are widely available

Chinatowns in the U. S.; they are popular because they are
inexpensive & usually have no side effects. They are not
meant to replace medical advice. This book is organized so
that the reader can easily take it to the herb store or
Chinese grocery store, point to the appropriate picture, &
readily locate the appropriate Patent Medicine box. Sample
pictures of the boxes are presented, including both the
English side & the Chinese side of the box. Over 175 Patent
Medicines are presented. The book presumes no previous
knowledge of Chinese Medicine & is designed to acquaint the
reader with general uses of the Chinese herbs in pill form.

"Nucanchic Panpa Janpicuna" or "Plantas Medicinales del Campo"
is the name of a bilingual (Quichua-Spanish) book that documents more than
120 medicinal plants used in the indigenous communities of La Esperanza,
Angochagua, and Caranqui, Imbabura, Ecuador. The investigation for
this project was undertaken primarily by two campesino volunteers from every
participating community, under the auspices of the Union de Organizaciones
y Comunidades Indigenas de Angochagua, La Esperanza, y Caranqui
(UNOCIAE-C).
The illustrated bilingual edition was developed primarily for the
campesinos of the region. It includes drawings and latin names of most
of the plants and icons to pictorially represent methods of remedy preparation
and use. An attempt was made to maintain the flavor of the languages,
as spoken and understood by the campesinos concerned.
Future extensions of the project include the creation of a garden
of medicinal plants in each community. Funding for the creation and
maintenance of the gardens is expected to be generated by proceeds from
the sale of this book. The book will be sold within the communities, below
printing cost.
The book was published jointly by ABYA-YALA and colegio
SINT-TRUIDEN (Belgium). If anyone is interested in more info or a copy
($10.00), please contact Brij Kothari at (607) 255-0504; 277-3761, or
e-mail: bk19@cornell.edu
All proceeds go to the communities.
