Healing with Herbs

Although in recent times drug-based medicine has taken the place of herbal medicine, the side effects of modern drugs are prompting more and more people to look again at the healing properties of herbs. In this simple and informative self-help guide, Judith Hoad looks at the use of herbs as a form of medicine since ancient times; shows you how to identify, pick and store herbs; provides basic recipes for a herbal medicine chest and explains first aid procedures. 'Healing with Herbs' lists the most commonly found herbs and their curative powers and includes addresses of herbal wholesalers and seed suppliers. Directories of other useful names, addresses and further reading are also included. Other books by Judith Hoad Need Or Greed?
