Annotation:
This book is essential for any home library of holistic healing. PRESCRIPTION FOR HERBAL HEALING lists over 200 individual herbs and herbal combinations in an easy-to-read, comprehensive, illustrated book. The convenient A-Z format makes it convenient to pick up and put to use immediately. Every herb, from ash to yarrow, is listed with scientific findings as to its benefits and known uses. Readers who are already familiar with Phyllis Balch's first book, PRESCRIPTION FOR NUTRITIONAL HEALING, will recognize the helpful layout and the informative, reliable writing. The book is organized into three sections. The first, "Basic Principles," lists each herb alphabetically with a detailed synopsis of its uses and contraindications. The second, "Common Health Problems," lists over 100 ailments with herbal remedies for each. Third is "Herbal Healing Techniques," which gives detailed instructions for preparing herbal remedies, such as poultices, steam inhalations, and tinctures. Balch includes Chinese and Ayurvedic herbs in her listings and gives a short history of both Traditional Chinese Medicine and Ayurvedic Theory. The depth and scope of PRESCRIPTION FOR HERBAL HEALING makes it indispensable for those interested in living a healthy lifestyle through herbal supplements.
