Synopses & Reviews
Fatigue, allergies, anxiety, indigestion, eczema, high blood pressure, and other conditions are not just isolated problems to be solved -- they are indicators that your body is out of balance. Taking a pill may erase a symptom temporarily, but addressing the root of the problem and bringing your body back to its natural state of balance is a more effective approach. Herbalist and teacher Maria Noel Groves shows you how to read your body's signals and support your own wellness with herbal remedies and other natural treatments. She takes you on a behind-the-scenes tour of your major body systems -- your nervous system, digestion, immune system, reproductive system, memory, connective tissues, and circulation -- to show you how these systems work, how they interact, and the key factors that can knock them off balance. You'll learn to care for yourself and adjust what needs to change to improve your health now and prevent future illnesses. Includes instructions for choosing herbs and making your own herbal remedies, as well as information on buying and using commercial preparations.

Herbalist Maria Noel Groves shows you how to read your body's signals and support your own wellness with herbal remedies and other natural treatments. You'll learn how each of your major body systems -- respiratory, digestive, immune, nervous, memory, reproductive, circulatory, and more -- optimally functions, and you'll discover how to use natural remedies to nourish and repair problem areas, restore lost vitality, support your body as a whole, and prevent future problems. Groves includes in-depth instructions, with step-by-step photographs, for making your own herbal remedies, as well as expert guidance on buying and effectively using commercial preparations.
