Synopsis
Timely book on rainforest herbology and traditional healing. Authors work with Central American healers to compile herbal lore.
Synopsis
Herbs have been used traditionally for healing by mankind for many thousands of years. They represent the ancient way of harmony, wherein nature provides the healing powers to energize, recharge and re-balance. There is increasing interest in herbs today as we become disillusioned with the strong and imbalanced drugs and chemicals of the western medical model. We have brought together some of the finest herbal texts available, including texts from a number of different herbal healing traditions, including Ayurveda and Chinese Herbology.
The work of Rosita Arvigo and Michael Balick to bring the knowledge of the Mayan healers to the Western reader deserves due credit. This revised and enlarged second edition includes much additional information about the major herbs in the Mayan pharmacopeia. Their work proves that the rainforest has more value to mankind alive than cut down!
