Acknowledgments
I dedicate this book with love and gratitude to the memory of Dr. John
Christopher for all his work and teaching and to Dr. Richard Schulze for
keeping this herbal legacy alive and moving it on and into the twenty-first
century. It is also dedicated to all herbalists worldwide for keeping safe and
sharing the knowledge in the face of constant threats, legislation, and land
ravaging.
I may have written a book about natural healing and herbalism, but I
am certainly not a natural writer and so, in effect, this book would not
have become a reality without my friend Ruth Butterfield, whose
patience, intelligence, and organizational and editing skills have
completed this work. Huge thanks also go to Alick and Kevin at Gateway
Books for their gentle encouragement and support and to Deirdre
Greenan and Michael Gill of Gill & Macmillan. For this American
edition I would like to thank all those at Crossing Press whose very
stringent editing skills have impressed me immensely; thank you,
Meghan, and team. For “life” support during the writing of this book I
would like to thank Dr. Shamim Daya, Professor Linda Fellows, Ray Hill
from the British Holistic Medical Association, Anna Piper, Debs Chater,
Andrea Stainsby, Jack Silverstone, Melanie and Abigail, and also my
wonderful family, Nityananda, Lorna, and Jasmine.
My thanks go to all the practitioners, colleagues, and students who
have shaped the information in this book— in Britain, the United States,
France, Spain, and India. I wish I could list you all, but I can’t; so many
thanks, even to those unmet whose books have taught and inspired me.
