Foreword

Botanical Medicine for Women s Health is being published at an interesting time and speaks simultaneously to a number of converging constituencies. It is a time of growing stress on both the medical system and the patient. Medical care is in crisis with large numbers of underinsured or uninsured patients needing care. Costs are rising from the practice of increasingly technical medicine while patients are unhappy with of the decreasing time and attention they are receiving from their medical providers. Further, the burden of chronic disease is growing in an aging population. In one response to these stressors, patient interest is forcing inclusion of alternative medicines and philosophies into mainstream practice. However, in the case of herbal medicine, incorporation into conventional medicine would represent the return to (pardon the pun) the deepest roots of our own medical tradition.

The lineage of herbal medicine is long, distinguished, and of great importance to Western medical tradition. Herbal medicine has been a significant component of an array of healing systems beginning early on with those of Egypt, Mesopotamia, Greece, and Islam and continuing through the development of medical practice in medieval and modern Europe. Traditional medical practices from Asia and India, as well as Aboriginal traditions on every continent, have also used extensive herbal pharmacopeias. Many of our modern pharmaceutical drugs owe their origins to herbal medicine, with more than one hundred of the most commonly used drugs derived directly or indirectly from plants.

It is particularly appropriate that this book focuses on the herbal treatment of womens conditions. Historically, women, when given the opportunity to train in medical professions or to operate as lay practitioners, often focused their care on women and their childreneither by choice or necessity. Often the transmission of this tradition was suppressed or marginalized and women had to use the products of the natural world around them rather than the often more toxic products favored by their conventional counterparts. Thus womens medicine, overseen by female goddesses like Isis or practiced by female practitioners such as Hildegard of Bingen, was largely based on herbal therapies. In fact, rarely were the contributions of these female herbalists recognized by conventional medical history. So, for example, the discovery of foxglove as a treatment for cardiac conditions is attributed to Sir William Withering and his source, the old lady of Shropshire, is largely forgotten. Thus I am particularly satisfied that this important herbal textbook is giving serious and scholarly consideration to this traditional practice.
