Natural Healing for Women: Caring for yourself with herbs, homeopathy and essential oils

Description

A fully revised and updated edition of the classic reference book from the founders of "Neal's Yard Remedies", this is a guide to healing mind and body and a comprehensive reference book for alternative health. Susan Curtis and Romy Fraser draw on many years experience in natural medicine to explain the different needs of women's energy and repair systems, as well as the full range of natural healing options now available. The easy-to-use format and style of this reference book shows women how natural health can be a realistic part of their busy, stressful lives and the A-Z "Repertory of Ailments" covers all aspects of health that affect women today, from children's illnesses and pregnancy to cancer, as well as everyday problems. A fully cross-referenced "Materia Medica" offers the complete range of alternative treatments, including homeopathy, herbalism, essential oils and dietary supplements. The text also includes a "Lifestyle" section, providing a detailed detox programme, a first aid kit that every women should have and advice on diet, exercise, cleansing and fasting.
