More About the Author
Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
As more and more people move from traditional to complementary medicine, the demand for up-to-date, accurate information also increases. Herbalism: An Illustrated Guide is a good starting point for anyone new to the use of herbs for medicinal purpose.
Herbalism is the use of plants to heal the body and enhance well being, stimulating the body to use its own resources by balancing and cleansing the system. This step-by-step guide organises information plant by plant, and sets out the information so clearly so as to minimise the risk of mistakes. Just because plants are natural does not mean they are without danger, and the guide contains a number of cautions to warn against misuse. There are also historical facts, dosage instructions, guidelines as to when and when not to treat illnesses at home, and the differences between professional and domestic use of herbs. An attractive and comprehensive, if not exhaustive, publication, this is the perfect starting point for anyone interested in holistic healing using plants. --Lucie Naylor
This book is part of an Illustrated Guide series which includes Flower Essences, Aromatheraphy, Homeopathy, Vitamins & Minerals, and Reflexology.
