Medical Herbalism
MEDICAL HERBALISM
Clinical Newsletter for the Herbal Practitioner
Quarterly
Medical Herbalism presents information at the level of continuing
professional medical education, but in a language and style clear
to the lay practitioner.
Medical Herbalism honors practical information from all schools
of medicine and theories of herbalism.
Medical Herbalism focuses on art and practice rather than on
theory or academic knowledge.
Medical Herbalism includes information from the model of
scientific medicine, but not to the exclusion of information from
other healing paradigms.

SUBMISSIONS
Most of our articles are done by staff or are solicited. If you
have something you'd like to submit, query first. Please, no
covert company fluff -- I used to do that for a living and I can
usually recognize it halfway through the first sentence. Don't
even try. We strictly segregate our editorial and advertising to
insure commercial-free articles. We pay with a one or two year
subscription, sometimes with a set of back issues, depending on
the length. We always want well-written case studies -- we'll
give a year's subscription if we publish use your's. Give as much
background to the case as possible -- a holistic picture
including everything from blood work to life situation to psych-
spiritual influences is best. Please include a commentary
including your therapeutic strategy, showing how it may have
changed with follow-up visits. We're not just looking for
successes; equivocal or failed cases often raise more clinical
questions and are better teaching tools than successful ones. If
you submit a case, be prepared to allow respectful comment on it
in print by other practitioners.
