Features & Highlights

  • Silver Nautilus Book Award Winner for Health & Healing
  • An antacid or an aspirin may soothe your pain, but it doesn’t cure the cause of your symptoms. Headaches, indigestion, fatigue, allergies, anxiety, eczema, high blood pressure, and other conditions are clues to a deeper imbalance in your body, and learning to read those clues is a key step in maintaining optimal health. Herbalist Maria Noël Groves shows you how to read your body’s signals and support your own wellness with herbal remedies and other natural treatments. You’ll learn how each of your major body systems — respiratory, digestive, immune, nervous, memory, reproductive, circulatory, and more — optimally functions, and you’ll discover how to use natural remedies to nourish and repair problem areas, restore lost vitality, support your body as a whole, and prevent future problems. Groves includes in-depth instructions, with step-by-step photographs, for making your own herbal remedies, as well as expert guidance on buying and effectively using commercial preparations.

Amazing!

This is a comprehensive look at herbs and their uses. The illustrations, diagrams, and photos are beautiful! It has an introduction to living healthy and holistically which I always like to go back to when I am finding it difficult to follow my routines. It also has breakdowns of all the herbs and bunches them into different categories (e.g. to heal the heart...etc). It's easy to read and inspiring to see all the healing qualities that can be created into lotions, essences, oils, etc. to be shared with others.

Great reference book to have around

Great reference book to have around, covers most of the basic herbs, and is enlightening if you want to know which herbs to use instead of doping up on supplements. Eating the real thing feels so much better! Really good book for the beginning herbalist!
