Over 100 Herbal Recipes for Health and Healing

Traditional herbalist Marlene Houghton helps readers tackle everyday ailments and takes the guesswork out of using herbs for optimal health. Herbal medicine is useful for a range of common complaints, and gentle and effective herbs can offer benefit where conventional medicine sometimes fails. There have been many books written on herbal medicine. This book differs from most because it is based on empowering people to take responsibility for their own health and well-being.

Included in this concrete and practical primer are all the essentials you need to know about healing herbs and their properties. Among the topics covered are:

• A brief history of herbalism
• An overview of how herbs heal
• A glossary that includes the benefits of each herb and how to use it
• A tour of the body's systems and the herbs that make them work better
• An herb dictionary

In a world that's becoming more and more focused on illness and disease, it is clearly important for individuals to learn about natural therapies and take their health into their own hands. By educating yourself in the use of traditional herbalism, you can attain a high level of well-being, and you will only need to consult a conventional doctor when you have a problem that only a medically qualified professional can handle.
