An interview with Simon Mills, herbal practitioner and author of Principles & Practice of Phytotherapy, The Essential Guide to Herbal Safety, Dictionary of Modern Herbalism.
In this interview Simon’s talks about : Why plants are not pills. Taking back control of our health from experts, and much more.
An inspirational talk about what herbalism really is, a method of healing the individual rather than merely treating symptoms, a pleasure to listen to.
I have just noticed that Andrew Chevalier has a second edition of his book due out in July 2016 said to be “updated with the latest research”. On that subject I am wondering if Simon has any plans to revise The Essential Guide to Herbal Safety?
Hi Lee, I’m not sure about Simon’s book and whether there is likely to be a new edition anytime soon. I’ll have a word with him.
I’ve heard that your to treat the whole body not just the symptoms, but what I’me more happy about is that younger people (aged 25 – 45) are becoming more aware of whats going into their bodies and taking control of their lives. They still need a little push on wild food/foraging and fresh organic herbs. Thanks to people like you the information, help and advice is there.. Thank you so much 馃檪
