Black Dog's Herbal - a conversation to de-puzzle depression

Beschreibung

Depression is both a curse and a gift. Depression has given the world breath-taking art and music, has written words of the deepest insight and beauty, has solved some of the greatest mysteries of science. Depression grabs a person and removes the sunglasses of ignorance, forcing them to look directly into the sun. Uncomfortable. Unyielding. Unforgiving. Paul Evers discusses depression in a conversational manner, describing its multifaceted intertwined roots, and quoting recognised research. He is of opinion that depression is a poor term to describe the growth of awareness unasked for. Uncalled for, but undeniable and critical for our species to survive. This book started as a simple reference resource for medicinal antidepressant and anti-anxiety herbs, yet it was quickly recognized that this multifaceted condition required a multipronged management system. A simple herb or drug simply will not cut it. A conversation is needed. So, these stunning herbs now surround that conversation, and the methods of processing root, bark, leaves, or flowers into medicinal extracts, tisanes, essential oils, and ointments are remarkably easy. Let it inspire to (re)connect and act. The origin of the depressive mascot is thought to have come from Sir Winston Churchill who often stated that he was 'walking the black dog', his metaphor for the times when he was suffering bouts of dark and gloomy mood. It is now almost universally associated with the condition. So, how can we get the black dog to do what we want? We get inside the dog, to see, feel, hear, smell, walk it to train it.

Autor

Paul Evers (née Thompson) has his origins in Sydney Australia, as well as the outback of the New South Wales, in the wheat and rice belt in the central west of the state.In 1988 he gained his qualifications as a naturopath, a practitioner of herbal medicine, from the mother of Australian traditional medicine, Dorothy Hall, who established the Australian Traditional Medicine Society and who published 'Dorothy Hall's Herbal Medicine' that same year.Years of learning and research commenced with the objective to unleash the hidden medicinal value of growing plants and trees to the benefit of society.Paul beliefs alternative and traditional medical systems can and must enhance the modern science and technologies of medicine available. He is a longtime advocate of antibiotic restrictions yet is equally a longtime supporter of vaccine therapies. His unswerving belief is that alternative and traditional medicines must be rigorously researched in order to deliver the best outcomes, especially for almost half the global population who rely on them, whilst at the same time become more integrated in the daily modern medical practices.The objective of writing about medicinal plants and trees is to elevate the knowledge to a critical asset for population health and wellbeing, and thereby re-connecting humans with their surrounding vegetation whilst ensuring the protection of trees, plants and forests into the future.The challenge in condensing the scientific literature for his books was to arrive at a concise and easily understood review of each plant that excluded un-supported claims.With more people learning about the health benefits of plants and trees, located close to homes, along roads, in parks, a new and vibrant interest in the cultivation, management and harvesting of these crucial ecosystems can only grow. His books are simply the beginning.Paul has the gift to connect his research and understanding of the abundant natural properties of plants to the medicinal needs of people, the people surrounding them.He writes in a conversational tone to reach the general public, to inspire readers to curiosity and discovery.
