Manifesto for responsible and environmentally-friendly phytotherapy
Collapse of biodiversity, over-exploitation, lack of knowledge. Medicinal plants are in danger, and with them natural, ancestral methods.
After publishing Manuel de phytothérapie écoresponsable : Se soigner sans piller la planète (Terre vivante), Aline Mercan, a phytotherapist and nutritionist, health anthropologist and ethnobotanist, is collaborating this time with Jean-Christophe Monnier and Dana Tentea. Jean-Christophe is an explorer and documentary maker. He works for memory and intergenerational transmission. Dana is a nomadic photojournalist and travel writer.
What if nature’s great open book were the patient of the day? With wisdom and kindness, the three authors embark on an investigation into this strange patient to be treated: Alternative medicine.
What are the trends, threats and prospects for medicinal plants and their uses?
How can natural medicine using medicinal plants be maintained?
After an update on legislation with Pierre Champi and an inspiring account by Thierry Thevenin, a farmer-herbalist, immerse yourself in the atmosphere of the reports with this beautifully illustrated book. Discover alternative solutions to exotic and over-exploited plants. Follow the authors, who are ethnobotanists, as they take you on a tour of good practice in local, short-distance health care, and discover the best ways to use medicinal plants sensibly.
Specifically, you will find 10 cultivable plants proposed as alternatives to exotic or endangered plants.
Aimer, cueillir et protéger nos plantes médicinales is an enjoyable book for the general public. It will be of particular interest to gardeners and anyone interested in complementary medicine and phytotherapy.
