Healing with Whole Foods: Asian Traditions and Modern Nutrition by Paul Pitchford is a comprehensive guide on both traditional foods and herbs from a TCM perspective. Pitchford reminds us to start by understanding the elements and how our body naturally interacts with them while we are in or out of balance. If you’re running hot, cold, damp, or dry, you may need different forms of nourishment. And by understanding the five tastes, we can do more than just satiate hunger; we can nourish, balance, and heal.
The Herbal Kitchen by Kami McBride could easily be called “The Herbal Foods Encyclopedia.” This easy-to-use herbal resource includes 50 easy-to-find herbs and over 250 recipes infused with medicinal plants. If you’re looking to heighten the benefit of booze by making an herbal cordial or make butter better by crafting a therapeutic ghee, this book belongs in your kitchen.
Herbal Recipes for Vibrant Health by Rosemary Gladstar is an all-time herbal classic—and we’re not just saying that because she’s the co-founder of Traditional Medicinals! Since its original release in the early 2000s, Rosemary’s book has become a staple in almost every herbalist’s library. Whether you’re taking powdered herbal stimulants in her honey and nut butter Zoom Balls, preparing her pickled nettles, or enjoying the 7-Herb Long-Life Soup, you can’t deny that she makes each bite of medicine unbelievably delicious.
Wild Drinks & Cocktails by Emily Han takes herbal beverages to the next level. Not only does Han give unique alternatives to modern classics, like Dandelion and Burdock Soda or Apple and Sage Wine, she also includes medicinal benefits and the historical context in each chapter. Try using our Turmeric & Ginger with Meadowsweet tea in her Turmeric Switchel recipe on page 108.
