Synopses & Reviews
Tonics embody the concept that it's better to stay well (and get even better) than to get sick and look for a cure. The oldest medicines of all, herbs, have been used as tonics for thousands of years, and now scientific research and medical experience are verifying their health-giving properties. Dr. Mowrey discusses in turn the immune, digestive, cardiovascular, musculoskeletal and reproductive systems, how they work and what problems they can experience, and then shows what tonic herbs can do to promote their optimum functioning. A fascinating concluding chapter explores the "whole body tonic," which the author sees as the next development in this exciting area.
More than 60 herbs are covered in comprehensive detail, with complete scientific references documenting each aspect of their properties and their therapeutic uses.
