Dr. Jill Stansbury draws on her decades of clinical experience and her extensive research to provide an unparalleled range of herbal formulas. Organized by body system, each volume includes hundreds of formulas to treat common health conditions, as well as formulas that address specific energetic or symptomatic presentations, including Dr. Stansbury’s own formulas, formulas from herbal folklore, and formulas from Traditional Chinese Medicine. For each formula, Dr. Stansbury offers a brief explanation of how the selected herbs address the specific condition. The book offers many sidebars and user-friendly lists—helping readers quickly choose which herbs are best for specific presentations—and details traditional uses of both western herbs and traditional Asian herbs and formulas that are readily available in the United States. Volume 1 focuses on digestive health and the emunctories , an herbal term referring to the organs of elimination: the gastrointestinal system, the urinary system, and the skin. This volume offers formulas and supporting information for treating gastrointestinal and biliary conditions, liver and gallbladder conditions, renal and urinary conditions, and dermatologic conditions. Each chapter includes a materia medica section that describes individual herbs with tips on their properties, modes of action, and the specific symptoms each plant best addresses. Each chapter includes a materia medica section that describes individual herbs with tips on their properties, modes of action, and the specific symptoms each plant best addresses. These formularies are also a tutorial for budding herbalists on the sophisticated art of fine-tuning the precision of an herbal formula for the constitution and overall health condition of an individual patient, rather than a basic diagnosis. The text aims to teach via example, helping clinicians develop their own intuition and ability to create effective herbal formulas. Volume 2 (Circulation and Respiration) is also available, and Volume 3 (Endocrinology) will be published in May 2019. Volumes 4 (Neurology, Pyschiatry, and Pain Management) and 5 (Immunology, Orthopedics, and Otolarnygology) will be published in 2020. “Fabulous! . . . Dr. Jill Stansbury, one of the most respected herbalists and naturopathic doctors of our time, has created an up-to-date formulary that combines the best of traditional formulas with modern research and her own extensive clinical experience. [It] is a master reference tool for herbalists, doctors, and other health care professionals seeking to create precise formulas based on the individual, not on the diagnosis.”—Rosemary Gladstar, herbalist; founder of Sage Mountain Herbal Retreat Center Review: Brilliant - Beautiful book. Heavy vanilla-colored paper. Very informative. I’ve added pics so you can see more into this first volume. I’ll buy one at a time to study each better. This came highly recommended by a fabulous Canadian herbalist for a class. The first lesson on her formulation technique is invaluable. You will need to know your Latin binomials or you’ll have to look them up because that’s how she refers to the herbs. An absolute treasure and so much more than just a book with lists of formulas. It’s also one of the few places that actually gives good info for rosacea. Review: These are the best. - Jill's books are pretty much the best herbal books being written for a modern audience. You can find books from the 1930s that are similar in detail (Scudder, Ellingwood, etc...) but this series is as good as it gets if you want something by a living author. I get it that these are purely aimed at clinical efficacy, but that means there isn't much attention given to sustainability... the perfect formula for a given condition might have herbs in it that are sourced from all over the world and it doesn't take into account their scarcity, endangered status, localization, or cultural significance. Still, I use the info in these books all the time as a resource for helping my patients. They are excellent. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #83,658 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #70 in Naturopathy Medicine #106 in Holistic Medicine (Books) #181 in Herbal Remedies (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 246 Reviews | ## Images ![Herbal Formularies for Health Professionals, Volume 1: Digestion and Elimination, including the Gastrointestinal System, Liver and Gallbladder, Urinary System, and the Skin - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71u1DwZSNGL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Brilliant *by N***A on March 2, 2025* Beautiful book.

You can find books from the 1930s that are similar in detail (Scudder, Ellingwood, etc...) but this series is as good as it gets if you want something by a living author.

Still, I use the info in these books all the time as a resource for helping my patients. They are excellent. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Important Reference Book *by Y***A on December 30, 2021* There is nothing I dislike about this book. It is bound well and the price is is worth every penny. As a new herbalist working on clinical exams, I have found this book an important reference tool for practice. Formulation is the one aspect of dealing with clients that is most difficult for many and the author makes this knowledge attainable in an orderly fashion that I have not seen in other books. Highly recommend. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/62714321-herbal-formularies-for-health-professionals-volume-1-digestion-and-elimination](https://www.desertcart.us/products/62714321-herbal-formularies-for-health-professionals-volume-1-digestion-and-elimination) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-05-13*
