Product Information:

Authors: Christopher Hobbs and Kathi Keville

The beauty of herbal medicines is that they encourage the body to heal itself and cause the least amount of interference. The authors, both herbalists, draw on a system they call constitutional herbalism, a blend of modern Western herbalism, dietary supplements and Traditional Chinese Medicine. Published in the USA. 364 detailed pages in plain language with index.

A reader’s views, supplied by the publisher, are fully supported by the Natural Health Society:

“This book is a joy to read and use. I look through many books in my work as a public librarian, and this is one of the best on herbal remedies to arrive in recent months.

“The chapters correspond to different types of ailments and/or the corresponding regions of the female body. The topics covered are: hormones, mood disorders, PMS, menstruation, anaemia, vaginal and urinary tract infections, sexually-transmitted diseases, cervical dysplasia, endometriosis, fibroids, cysts, menopause, osteoporosis, heart disease, pregnancy and birth.

“Each chapter begins with an overview of the ailment/s, and a very helpful section – ‘What a Doctor Will Do’. The authors are advocating herbal treatments to supplement, not replace, traditional medical care. Recipes for herbal preparations are easy to locate in the text and very simple to follow. Most of the herbs are available at local health food stores; the remainder can be purchased from mail order sources listed at the back of the volume.

“An interesting read crammed full of useful health information. I highly recommend this title, especially for those new to the practice of herbal healing.”

Christopher Hobbs is a fourth-generation botanist, clinical herbalist, acupuncturist and author of 24 books on herbalism and natural health. Kathi Keville has 40 years experience with herbs, is a director of the American Herb Association, and is author of 12 herb books.
