I have often searched through plant medicine books written by clinical medical plant specialists. When several of these experts recommend the same plant to treat a certain health condition, this guides my choice of medical plants. Sometimes
authors from all over the world recommend the same plant for a health condition. I call this cross-cultural agreement. When several authors use the same plant, it is more likely to be effective. I have entered information from hundreds of books into my database. I selected books written by respected practitioners with experience using the plants to treat real people.
Mushroom Essences: Vibrational Healing from the Kingdom Fungi
In this innovative contribution to the field of energy medicine, experienced mycologist and herbalist Robert Rogers offers an extensive guide to healing a range of physical, emotional, and psychological conditions with mushroom essences. Similar to flower essences, but made under a lunar cycle, mushroom essences work subtly to bring deep healing to the mind and body; they are particularly well suited for working with the “shadow” or unintegrated parts of the psyche. The book is organized as an easy-to-use alphabetical reference, with entries that outline how to create each essence, indications for usage, and healing effects. Along the way, Rogers provides enlivening stories of his personal experience using these remedies in clinical practice. A profound exploration of both the practical and mythopoetic qualities of the mushroom, this is a must-have for anyone interested in plant medicine, mycology, personal healing, or depth psychology.
