foundational herbcraft... actions & energetics in western herbalism

This PDF file contains over 200 pages elaborating on my take on herbal energetics.  The information comes directly from the compiled columns I've written for PlantHealerMagazine, and is essentially the rough draft of a book I'm writing on how we can understand the implied energetics of herbal actions more effectively (it turns out that alphabetical lists filled with two sentence definitions are a pretty horrible way to learn about herbal actions).

The material included covers energetics (hot, cold, damp, dry, tense & lax), foundational actions (which covers aromatics, astringents, demulcents, relaxants, stimulants & bitters), primary actions (alteratives, adaptogens, trophorestoratives, diaphoretics, diuretics, expectorants, laxatives, lymphatics, nervines) and secondary actions (anti-inflammatory, and a number of variations on antimicrobials). 

Beyond all that (and dare I say "more importantly") it presents a model I've developed that helps to more effectively understand herbal actions in a way that relates directly to energetics.

I've formatted the PDF file in a way that allows it to be printed and bound, with a cover, table of contents and the information laid out in chapters, because really: hundreds of pages is a lot to deal with on a screen for many people.

If you like the way I present on the topic of energetics and actions, this is the most comprehensive material I have written down on the topic.
