A Guide to Herbal Remedies, Textbooks, E-Book, PDF books, Ebook download

Based on calculations made by the World Health Organisation, the use of herbal remedies worldwide surpasses that of conventional drugs by a factor of two or three. This is despite the presence of a global and influential pharmaceutical industry since the start of the century.

It is a well-known fact that medicines derived from plants have been utilized long before any other form of medication, and throughout history, humans have relied on them for healing. Interestingly, even animals have been observed to selectively consume certain plants for medicinal purposes.

With the overwhelming dominance of herbal remedies, it is surprising to see their relatively low recognition in English-speaking countries. Thus, the need for a book like this arises.

Following the Industrial Revolution, Britain and the United States, unlike other European cultures, have distanced themselves from nature's remedies. As a result, over the past century, we have lost many of the basic skills practiced by our ancestors.

Fortunately, there has been a recent resurgence of interest in these skills, and substantial scientific evidence has accumulated to support the effectiveness of herbal remedies. They offer unique advantages that complement conventional drugs.

This book aims to clearly outline these advantages and provide practical guidance on:

1. Herbal remedies commonly in use and where they can be obtained.
2. Selecting and using herbal remedies appropriately.
3. An alphabetical list of symptoms along with corresponding herbal remedies.
4. Herbal first aid techniques.
5. Herbal remedies suitable for children.
6. A comprehensive glossary of terms.
