Healing Herbs for the respiratory system

Healing Herbs for the respiratory system Review



There are wonderful herbs in Nature's pharmacy to treat respiratory system ailments such as asthma, bronchitis, cold and flu, congestion, cough, earache, ear infection, emphysema, hay fever, laryngitis, lung abscess, pneumonia, pleurisy, post nasal drip, sinusitis and sinus infections, sore throat and tuberculosis as well as whooping cough. In this book I listed only some of them, which in my opinion are the most helpful. Some of the herbs can help with multiple problems. When you read an ebook, it is hard to switch between the conditions and the recommended herbs list, therefore you might see some repetition in the herb list under different illness or condition.
Herbs are wonderful remedies, they have been used for centuries. However, herbs can be dangerous if they're not used correctly. Herbs have side effects, contraindications, and they can interact with medications. This book contains the best herbs to treat respiratory system ailments, the side effects of the herbs, conditions when it is contraindicated to use them, as well as possible interactions with prescription or OTC medications.

Healing Herb Rapid Reference

Healing Herb Rapid Reference Review



Here is an herbal reference guide for holistic health care professionals and informed consumers alike. It is designed to enable on-the-spot choices of herbs which are likely to facilitate healing based on individual characteristics, or "keynotes."

Written by an ethnobotanist and clinical practioner of herbalism, it was born out of an appreciation for the work of naturally oriented physicians of the 19th and 20th centuries _ as well as the distilled practical wisdom of grandmothers, woman elders, and North and South American shamans. Most importantly, it represents the author’s own “peak” experiences during travels taken expressly for the purpose of studying and harvesting herbs in their native habitats

Healing with Herbs and Rituals: A Mexican Tradition

Healing with Herbs and Rituals: A Mexican Tradition Review



Healing with Herbs and Rituals is an herbal remedy-based understanding of curanderismo and the practice of yerberas, or herbalists, as found in the American Southwest and northern Mexico.

Part One, 'Folk Healers and Folk Healing,'; focuses on individual healers and their procedures. Part Two, 'Green Medicine: Traditional Mexican-American Herbs and Remedies,' details traditional Mexican-American herbs and cures. These remedies are the product of centuries of experience in Mexico, heavily influenced by the Moors, Judeo-Christians, and Aztecs, and include everyday items such as lemon, egg, fire, aromatic oil, and prepared water. Symbolic objects such as keys, candles, brooms, and Trouble Dolls are also used.

Dedicated, in part, to curanderos throughout Mexico and the American Southwest, Healing with Herbs and Rituals shows us these practitioners are humble, sincere people who have given themselves to improving lives for many decades. Today's holistic health movement has rediscovered the timeless merits of the curanderos' uses of medicinal plants, rituals, and practical advice.
