Herbal Remedies (Marshall Health Guides) Book

Many people these days are becoming aware that herbal medicine can play an important part in maintaining a healthy lifestyle and anybody seeking a sound introduction to the subject need look no further than this book. Herbal Remedies is attractive, colourful and packed with information. A clearly structured book, it is easy to follow and will encourage and inspire the reader to use herbal remedies with confidence. The book is divided into three basic sections comprising: the various methods for preparing and using herbs, as infusions, tinctures, ointments and so on; an explanation of the systems of the body and appropriate herbal treatments for disorders affecting them; and finally a directory of herbs giving a summary of the history and uses for each. Photographs of each plant are particularly helpful. It may be a surprise to some readers to find that many of the plants commonly used in herbal medicine are easily found in the hedgerow and garden. Passion flower for anxiety and insomnia, honeysuckle for sore throats, marigold for healing wounds all feature here, along with dandelion, stinging nettle and cleavers (sticky grass). You may find you view your garden in a different light after reading this book and perhaps you will treat your weeds with a little more respect! --Dale EvansRead More
