Modern Herbal Medicine

This book was designed to help people who are trying to figure out what herbal formulas or nutritional supplements they need at the health food store or online. Most herb books focus on single herbs or "do-it-yourself" formulas, but Modern Herbal Medicine is unique. It matches up herbal formulas, single herbs, nutritional supplements and basic natural healing therapies to health problems. It will teach readers how to identify the root causes of illness, rather than just treating the symptoms or the specific disease. Plus, it will enable them to compare herbal formulas from different companies and decide which products are right for their needs. Here's what you'll find in the pages of this powerful guide: Descriptions of 471 Health Conditions, many with detailed descriptions that help you understand the condition, what causes it and how to work on the root causes.
