The popularity of herbal medicine has exploded during the past decade, with herbal remedies becoming increasingly available in such conventional outlets as drugstores and even supermarkets. Prescription for Herbal Healing brings to herbal medicine the same in-depth, easy-to-understand information and accessible style that Prescription for Nutritional Healing successfully brought to diet and nutritional supplements. This book is divided into three parts for easy reference. Part I discusses the basic principles of herbal medicine and outlines the properties and characteristics of some one hundred sixty single herbs and sixty herbal combination formulas. Part II describes more than one hundred fifty common disorders, conveniently arranged in alphabetical order from acne to yeast infection, and names the herbal therapies that can be used in the treatment of those conditions. Part III is a guide to using various kinds of herbal and other alternative therapies. In addition, it includes self-diagnostic tests and boxed insets throughout, which offer detailed information on a wide variety of topics.

Complete coverage of Chinese and Ayurvedic herbs make this volume entirely comprehensive, and thorough scientific references lend it an authority not found in any other herbal book. Prescription for Herbal Healing is the definitive herbal resource and is a necessity for any health-conscious consumer.

Prescription for Herbal Healing: An Easy-to-Use A-Z Reference to Hundreds of Common Disorders andTheir Herbal Remedies Reviews

  • Kirsty

    I LOVE this book. It is very helpful, and is based on science instead of tradition (a semi-rare thing for herbal books). I would recommend this book to mothers, sisters, doctors, grandmas, aunts... anyone who is going to be helping people with health and healing. :-)

  • Blanca Estrella

    Informative and really helps us to know and use the type of natural herbs and supplements for healing. This book also tells us the potential dangers of some herbs, the proper dosage, and the expected time frame in which we can expect to see the positive effects from using them.

  • Breakfast & Bookmarks

    If you're looking for in-depth information on different herbs, this is a great book! You will learn the history of certain herbs, their different benefits, as well as what herbs to mix and not mix together. Any practicing herbalist will enjoy this reference!

  • Trish

    Good big book for those starting out with herbal healing

  • Jkl

    Information to common disorders fairly good. Remedies not so much. Some descriptive help but remedies primarily focused on professionally created "capsules." Focus is on personal health and does not include other home remedies This may be good for some; not what I was seeking.
