Review “Jill Stansbury is a quintessential medicine woman in today’s world. Her rich experience as a clinician and professor of naturopathic medicine is palpable, and she writes with a compassionate knowing that the mental health field so keenly deserves. She grounds this formulary through her deep respect and dedication to indigenous wisdom that she has experienced and supported through her work in the Peruvian Amazon as well as with other wisdom keepers. Herbal Formularies for Health Professionals are the texts my clinic students have been waiting for.”―Kat Maier, director of Sacred Plant Traditions; board president, United Plant Savers “Dr. Stansbury is a prescient, loving steward of the Standing Green Nation. Deeply loved by herbalists globally, her mentoring and clinical mastery powerfully manifest in this set of formularies. It is at once classic, complete, and enduring, offering herbal medicine savvy and deep research through articulate narratives and formulations for many conditions. Dr. Stansbury is always modest, grateful, and curious. Her friends, the sentient plants of a living earth, know this. Pachamama, too. The volumes themselves are beautiful objects whose rich content and elegant design are exemplary and respectful of this hard-earned, cumulative wisdom.”―David J. Schleich, PhD, president, National University of Natural Medicine “Herbal Formularies for Health Professionals is a gift to all healthcare practitioners seeking to heal their patients through a natural medicine approach. The expertise of Dr. Stansbury is extraordinary. This text is not a simple guide; it is a fascinating educational read and treatment formulary that is practical and evidence-based.”―Mimi Guarneri, MD, president, Academy of Integrative Health and Medicine “There are many herb books, but few address the fine points of clinical herbal prescribing. To remedy this deficiency, Dr. Jill Stansbury, ND, has written perhaps the best herbal formulary since the days of the renowned Eclectic physicians. . . . Each section and page clearly shows the skill, experience, and expertise of the author and will help even the seasoned naturopathic physician or herbalist improve their clinical practice and success in treating their patients.”―David Winston, RH (AHG), dean of David Winston’s Center for Herbal Studies; founder of Herbal Therapeutics Research Library “He
