Quick Answer
Description
Herbal Formularies for Health Professionals, Volume 4: Neurology, Psychiatry, and Pain Management is the fourth installment in Dr. Jill Stansbury's five-volume clinical reference series published by Chelsea Green Publishing. Comprising in a durable hardcover format, this volume delivers evidence-informed botanical formulas focused on central and peripheral nervous system disorders and pain conditions. Following an introductory examination of clinical formulation principles, Dr. Stansbury outlines practical protocols for complex neurologic presentations, including dementia, Parkinson's disease, seizure disorders, neuropathy, and traumatic nerve injuries, as well as visceral, musculoskeletal, and vascular pain disorders such as migraines and neuralgias.
The text integrates Western herbal medicine traditions with clinical pharmacology and traditional systems. Substantial coverage is dedicated to psychiatric and emotional health, featuring dedicated formularies for mood disorders, acute and generalized anxiety, chronic insomnia, post-traumatic stress disorder, and botanical support for substance withdrawal and addiction. Each clinical chapter pairs formulas with materia medica profiles highlighting specific plant actions, energetic considerations, and tissue affinities. Dual-direction botanical cross-indexes and a glossary of therapeutic terms make this an essential practical manual for individualized patient formulation.

In professional compounding dispensaries and outpatient integrative clinics, the text serves as a core formulation guide for practicing physicians, acupuncturists, and herbalists.
