Herbal Formularies for Health Professionals is a five-volume set that serves as a comprehensive, practical reference manual for herbalists, physicians, nurses, and allied health professionals. Dr. Jill Stansbury draws on her decades of clinical experience and her extensive research to provide an unparalleled range of herbal formulas. Organized by body system, each volume includes hundreds of formulas to treat common health conditions, as well as formulas that address specific energetic or symptomatic presentations, including Dr. Stansbury's own formulas, formulas from herbal folklore, and formulas from Traditional Chinese Medicine. For each formula, Dr. Stansbury offers a brief explanation of how the selected herbs address the specific condition. The book offers many sidebars and user-friendly lists--helping readers quickly choose which herbs are best for specific presentations--and details traditional uses of both western herbs and traditional Asian herbs and formulas that are readily available in the United States. Volume 1 focuses on digestive health and the emunctories, an herbal term referring to the organs of elimination: the gastrointestinal system, the urinary system, and the skin. This volume offers formulas and supporting information for treating gastrointestinal and biliary conditions, liver and gallbladder conditions, renal and urinary conditions, and dermatologic conditions. Each chapter includes a materia medica section that describes individual herbs with tips on their properties, modes of action, and the specific symptoms each plant best addresses.

Die Wurst ist eines der ersten vom Menschen aktiv gestalteten Lebensmittel: Sie wurde vor über 5000 Jahren entwickelt, um in Zeiten des Mangels das Maximum aus tierischen Proteinen herauszuholen. Bist heute ist sie ein wichtiger Bestandteil unserer Esskultur. Allein in England gibt es über 470 verschiedene Arten von Würsten, die zum Frühstück serviert werden! Und in Deutschland definieren Gesetze die Machart von Würsten.Gemäss der Ernährungs- und Landwirtschaftsorganisation der Vereinten Nationen droht der Menschheit zurzeit ein akuter Mangel an proteinreicher Nahrung. Insbesondere Fleisch wird immer knapper. Ein Grund dafür ist der übermässige Verzehr von tierischen Produkten. Kann die Wurst eine Lösung bieten, um den globalen Fleischkonsum zu reduzieren? Zum Beispiel, indem das Fleisch in der Wurst durch andere, ebenso proteinreiche Nahrungsmittel ersetzt wird?Um diese Fragen zu beantworten, haben ein Molekularkoch, ein Metzger und eine Designerin die Produktionsweise von Würsten sowie mögliche neue Zutaten - wie Insekten, Nüsse und Hülsenfrüchte - unter die Lupe genommen und eine «Wurst der Zukunft» entwickelt. In diesem Buch nehmen sie uns mit auf eine Reise durch die einzelnen Bausteine der Wurst. Sie untersuchen Aspekte wie Konsistenz und Geschmack, katalogisieren verschiedene Wurstarten und untersuchen neue Bestandteile auf ihre Wursttauglichkeit.
