The Warrior As Healer:A Martial Arts Herbal for Power, Fitness, and Focus

Wonderful book! Very valuable not easy to find information for martial art practitioners and Chinese Medicine Practitioners treating sport injuries.

We need people like him in the martial arts world. Most herbalist that are martial artists keep the kung fu aspect of herbs as a secret. This book is short, nice and simple, well I'd say one thing people would not like about his way of making herbs is that yes it is VERY TIME consuming and it requires a lot of shelf space during the process which is not a plus in the modern world.

Well writeten and well presented information and good cross-referencing of chinese and western binomial names of materials and there theraputic atributes.I would have liked to have seen herbal (plant) materials to replace items like 'Tiger bone' and 'Sea Horse' that are very endangered and on the brink of extinction!Appart from the above caviat I think this is a very good research document. Every practitioner should use this as a springboard to researching martial arts medecine for themselves.

Book is very specific and thorough on course of treatment.

this is a great book, and as a used copy it looks brand new. and the information inside is priceless

Love the book

This was a very intresting read. It is very well written and laid out. I have not had a chance to try the formulas yet but I look forward to doing so.

If you are looking for traditional Chinese herbal formulas for use specifically by martial artists, you will find them here. The book has formulas for liniments for hand conditioning, teas for healing injuries, and seasonal wines for maintaining energy and appropriate body temperature from season to season. It assumes that you have access to raw Chinese herbs and at least a basic knowledge of Chinese medical concepts. If you have those basics, it teaches you how to prepare decoctions, wines, and pills for use in martial training.Susan Lynn Petersonauthor Western Herbs for Martial Artists and Contact Athletes
