Mr Asafo Agyei, Head of Plant Development Department, Center for Plant Medicine Research (CPMR), Mampong-Akwapim, in the Eastern Region, giving an overview of the book said plant medicine remained the oldest form of disease treatment by many in the country and sub-Saharan Africa.

Today many want to rescue it and, if you want to know more, our compendium of books on medicinal plants in PDF format, will come in handy.
BOOK SERIES
This book has step-by-step instructions for making any kind of herbal preparation you could possibly think of. It also explains why you should do certain things, not just how, which is handy to know if you find yourself faced with the need to improvise. The Herbal Medicine Maker’s Handbook is extremely detail-oriented, but still very readable – Green is authoritative while still being lighthearted. A prime example of this is the chapter on herb jellos, an unexpected and surprisingly useful way to prepare herbs for kids – and one that he stumbled on quite by accident! The book also contains a brief overview of 30 plants that he and the other co-directors of the California School for Herbal Studies developed for use as part of the school’s curriculum. Target action to ensure utilisation of medicinal plants has not received the needed prioritisation, he added. Shalini Dixit, Karuna Shanker, Madhumita Srivastava, Priyanka Maurya, Nupur Srivastava, Jyotshna, and Dyaneshwar U. Bawankule Dr Barimah, the Executive Director of CPMR and one of the authors said the publication of the book would make it easy for practitioners of herbal medicine and for individuals to be able to identify and recognize various herbal medicine plants.
This book is aimed to provide up to date information about sustainable use of selected medicinal plants, their active ingredients and efforts made to domesticate them to ensured uniform supply. Development of agrotechnology, biotechnology and cultivation practices using conventional and non-conventional methods are presented. Where these efforts will lead the medicinal plant research and future perspective are discussed. The book, Mr Agyei said, was therefore to disseminate knowledge about some common plants in Ghana and their health benefits to encourage its use by modern medical practitioners. Written for people interested in medicinal plants, where medicines come from, and how they treat our diseases.In the era of the processed and artificial, the natural often represents a step of well-being for many people. Returning to ancestral traditions is what many people are doing and we want to accompany them on their way. That is why we offer you this collection of books on medicinal plants in PDF format, with very valuable information on their use. Mr Agyei said: “conscious effort has been undertaken to draw attention to the potency and acceptance of plant medicine into the formal health sector.” She encouraged Ghanaians to accept plant medicine as part of disease treatment “There is nothing evil about plant medicine as sometimes are made to believe,” she said.
He urged manufacturers of herbal medicine to adopt the book and use it as a guide to boost the efficacy of plant medicines. He noted that, as part of efforts to speed up the mainstreaming of the use of plant medicine into the healthcare delivery, over 40 herbal units had been set up in some public hospitals across the country to give patients the option to choose their preferred type of treatment. This amazing and unique book is a wonderful read for those with an interest in both herbal and prescription medicines. Written with authority by physicians and gardeners at the Garden of Medicinal Plants at the Royal College of Physicians, London, chapters detail the history and modern scientific research on plants and their medicines. It is very useful to physicians, pharmacists, herbalists, historians and gardeners, bringing together information from every discipline to make it a work of interest as well as reference. One of the most thorough resources on herbal materia medica available anywhere, The Earthwise Herbal details historical use of many herbs and includes Wood’s personal experiences in working with the herbs in his clinical practice. Volume One focuses on Old World, European plants, while Volume Two discusses the New World plants of North America. Wood has focuses on Western herbalism and a more folk-style approach, but his books are an excellent resource for herbalists of any tradition. These references are valuable both for beginners and experienced herbalists alike, as they provide valuable insight and lesser known perspectives on many well-loved herbs. As we tell our herbalism students, herbal books are an invaluable resource for the home herbalist, and growing your home library over time is always a great idea. Having at least three herbal books or resources available is absolutely necessary when studying plants and creating a materia medica. Still, there are so many fantastic books available – where should you begin? Here are 6 herbal books that we think are worth the investment!The full colour, beautifully illustrated Modern Medicines from Plants: Botanical histories of some of modern medicine’s most important drugs features information on plants from which we obtain modern prescription medicines. It outlines their historical uses as herbal medicines in the past two millennia, using primary sources, and describes how extracts from them, and their semisynthetic and synthetic derivatives, were developed to be today’s therapeutic drugs and diagnostic chemicals. This book describes medicinal plants and their habitats, the diseases that their medicines treat, and the science of how they work. Including both recipes and the history of herbs, this book is an essential read to begin your journey of making and using your own natural remedies. She said the book would add to existing knowledge and practice of plant medicine in the country and preserve medicinal plants in Ghana and beyond. One of the best volumes for folk herbalists searching for their path, the informal but detailed exploration of the art of herbalism in The Herbalist’s Way leaves you with the sense that you’ve spent the afternoon across from a wise elder, chatting as you both enjoyed tea. In fact, the authors highlight conversations with many herbalists throughout the book, so by the end of the book you have learned from the experiences of many others. This book explores how to become an herbalist and why – from an overview of the many possibilities, to finding your niche, legal aspects, and more.
