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 stands out because it is based on empowering you to take responsibility for your 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:
  • A brief history of herbalism
  • Recipes for aromatic herb baths, teas, tonics, and elixirs
  • 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 an active role in maintaining their own health. By educating yourself in the use of traditional herbalism, you can attain a high level of well-being independently.
