- Book Synopsis
- A groundbreaking formula of interlocking ideas which integrate circadian physiology with the transformations that constitute human life. Based on forty years of clinical practice, Julian Barker takes knowledge, information, and data from various disciplines, presenting an integrative model of health, linking circadian biology with the psychosocial human being. He develops a theory that attempts to explain how medicinal plants modify human physiology and how they contribute to health. Aimed at the student acquiring knowledge and developing the skills to practise medicine as well as the qualified herbal practitioner, this thought-provoking work breaks new ground in health theory.
- About The Author
- Julian Barker started his training in herbal medicine in North and Central America, before returning Britain as an apprentice herb-grower at Suffolk Herbs while studying concurrently on NIMH's tutorial course, at which point he joined the first cohort at the School of Herbal Medicine. In 1983, he opened a clinic in Brighton offering acupuncture, herbal medicine, homeopathy, and osteopathy but recently has upsized to a single practice. Teaching botany at the School of Herbal Medicine for over twenty years, Julian supervised BSc dissertations and taught philosophy on the MSc course in herbal medicine at the University of East London. Since 1998 he has worked in Paris and has studied in London with Dr. Jean-Claude Lapraz on the application of medicinal plants along Endobiogenic lines. He is a fellow of the Linnaean Society, serves on the Accreditation Board of the European Herbal Practitioners' Association, and is a member of the College of Practicing Phytotherapists and the National Institute of Medical Herbalists.
