From a clinical herbalist and teacher, this holistic guide provides relief to anyone looking to maintain bodily harmony and wellness without the use of over the counter solutions. An antacid or an aspirin may soothe your pain, but it doesn’t cure the cause of your symptoms. Pain and discomfort are signs of imbalance in the body, and learning to read those cues is a key step in maintaining optimal health. Herbalist Maria Noël Groves shows you how to interpret 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 optimally functions, and 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 and step-by-step photographs for making your own herbal remedies, as well as expert guidance on buying and effectively using commercial preparations.
