Healing Herbs offers 100 plain and simple remedies for common ailments, using the wisdom of nature. Herbs are not always safe, so it’s very important to read a book by someone who knows what they are talking about.
Avoid essential oils for pregnancy/nursing and affected medical conditions (and don’t use near young children or pets). If growing remedies, read how to make your garden safe for pets.
This book includes:
- A brief history of herbalism
- An overview of how herbs heal
- The benefits of each herb, and how to use them
- A tour of body systems, and how herbs help
- A herb dictionary
In a world focused more on disease, it is important to learn more about holistic medicine, to take matters into your own herbs for minor ailments. You will then only need to see the GP when you have an issue that only a medically qualified professional can handle.
