Excerpt
Herbal Medicine sometimes referred to as Herbalism or Botanical Medicine, is the use of herbs for their therapeutic or medical value. An herb is a plant or plant part valued for its medical, aromatic or savory qualities. Herb plants produce and contain a variety of chemical substances that act upon the body. Herbal medicine has been used for centuries. In fact, there has been evidence showing that herbal remedies have been around since the Neanderthal period about 60,000 years ago. Other evidence of the use of herbs for medical purposes has appeared in cave paintings estimated to have been made between 13,000 and 25,000 BC. Most of the synthetic prescription drugs made today is based on naturally occurring substances and capabilities found in plants. In fact, many of the familiar pharmaceutical medications we use today were originally created from natural ingredients. Drugs like opium (from poppies), aspirin (from willow bark), digitalis (from foxglove) and quinine (from the cinchona tree.) Herbal Medicine can be broadly classified into various basic systems: Traditional Chinese Herbalism, which is part of Traditional Oriental Medicine, Ayurvedic Herbalism, which is derived from Ayurveda, and Western Herbalism, which originally came from Greece and Rome to Europe and then spread to North and South America. Chinese and Ayurvedic Herbalism have developed into highly developed systems of diagnosis and treatment over the centuries. Western Herbalism is today for the most part a system of folk medicine. Interest in herbals and natural alternatives has been growing worldwide in recent years from the reported success stories from the use of herbs. For example, St. John's Wort is widely used in the treatment of mild depression without the need for Prozac. St. John's Wort does not have the side effects such as that of Prozac. There are some Ayurvedic herbs that are very useful for reducing cholesterol, diabetes etc. Similarly the popularity of Ginseng and Ginkgo biloba (ginkgo) is rising due to its beneficial effects. The Complete Herbal Guide: A Natural Approach to Healing the Body is an essential reference book for anyone interested in maintaining optimal health and overcoming disease. The book contains concise and comprehensive listings of over 150 herbs and conditions. This book has quick and easy references to the all information you need to maintain excellent health the natural way.
Professional Reviews
Packed full of information!
I love how this kindle book has a nice clickable Table of Contents to find specific ailments as well as herbal remedies! Nearly 800 pages of well written, concise, useful information! One of the other things that I highly appreciated was how the author tells you.. how prescription medications may or may not work with various herbal remedies! For example.. if you're taking a blood thinner medication that was prescribed by your physician.. you probably do not want to also take licorice root in tandem.. as it could cause your blood to not clot at all.
The book lists many common ailments.. and gives very specific information on herbal remedies to try. Encourages the reader to keep their personal physicians apprised of EVERYTHING that one is putting into their body. I've recommended this book to quite a few people today! And, many are just as astounded as I am!! A superb book... that I will be using for quite some time to come!

5.0 out of 5 stars What a terrific accidental purchase!
Long story short, I accidentally purchased this book - thinking I could borrow it (new to the Kindle!) -- I don't even have the Kindle yet that I've just ordered today.
So I brought the book up in my browser to look at it, and what a GREAT BOOK!
This book addresses ailments that we all face as some point with supplements, herbs and foods back by referenced studies.
This is so nice, because I've read a few books similar in the past, and they frequently will leave out references to studies.
I would provide a 6th star for this book if I could, very informative and super helpful.
Really Useful Information!
Awesome details about herbal health, much better ideas than popping pills all the time!!
Great ideas to make day-to-day life Improved and healthier! Easy to drink tea on a daily basis as a prevention to going to doctors in future. Definitely recommend! Very Informative, Great Ideas!!!!

How Diet Can Help
The foods you eat can boost your immune system and prevent symptoms. A Japanese study assessed the possible protective effect of the traditional Japanese diet on allergies. They looked at 1002 Japanese pregnant women, and found that calcium, magnesium, and phosphorus were associated with a decreased prevalence of allergies. The typical North American diet tends to be lower in magnesium and calcium:
• Food Sources of Magnesium
• Getting Enough Calcium in Your Diet
