The Natural Healing Handbook: Ancient Remedies & Powerful Healing Herbs to Naturally Restore Your Health and Vitality

Dive into the world of natural and herbal medicine with “The Natural Healing Handbook” — essential reading for herbalists, naturopathic practitioners, integrative health enthusiasts, and any reader who wants a thorough, organised reference for traditional remedies and medicinal plants grounded in both historical use and available scientific evidence.

This comprehensive handbook covers a wide range of healing herbs, plants, and traditional remedies with attention to both their cultural and historical context and the current research examining their active compounds and therapeutic applications. Each entry covers the plant’s traditional use across different healing traditions, the phytochemical compounds responsible for its effects, the conditions for which evidence supports its use, appropriate preparation methods and dosing considerations, safety profiles, and known interactions with medications or contraindications. The book is organised for practical reference use — allowing readers to look up specific plants, conditions, or body systems quickly — while the introductory sections provide enough foundational knowledge about herbal medicine and phytochemistry to understand the entries in context.

Whether you are a practising herbalist, a naturopathic student, a nurse or physician interested in what your patients may be using alongside conventional treatment, or simply a reader with a genuine interest in natural medicine, this handbook provides one of the most thorough and practically useful references in its category.
