A Guide to Health and Wholeness

Beschreibung

The Art of Herbal Healing is a comprehensive reference containing a wealth of information, step-by-step instructions, and colored illustrations enabling safe and responsible use of medicinal herbs to heal and promote vibrant health. Susan Clearwater presents a dynamic "hands-on" exploration into the amazing world of herbalism, empowering readers to interact with medicinal plants at whatever level you choose — from gardening, harvesting, and creating herbal teas and other preparations to learning which herbs are helpful for specific conditions. Highlighting the holistic perspective and wisdom in healing the whole person, medicinal herbs are examined through a broad-spectrum lens, beginning with their uses and mythology in ancient cultures to modern scientific research with identification of their chemical components. A comprehensive study of 50 herbs in the Materia Medica includes their medicinal uses, cultivation, preparation of remedies for internal and external healing, dosages, and safety precautions.
