What are the benefits of the herbal remedies currently on sale? And how should they be used to supplement a healthy diet?
As Britain's favourite botanist, David Bellamy is also a trusted and outspoken campaigner on issues of health and the environment. He is unafraid to speak out about vested interests, not just in the large drug companies but also in the producers of herbal remedies. 'The Bellamy Herbal' is a result of a lifetime's study and the very latest scientific research.
At a time when health scares abound, new drugs and medical treatments are continually emerging and ware are forced to be ever-more cautious as to the foods we eat, people are increasingly looking for alternative ways of restoring and maintaining their health.
The health-giving properties of plants have long been recognised, but knowing exactly what we should be giving our families and how this 'alternative' medicine can work safely alongside modern treatments can seem rather less straightforward.
Here, David Bellamy has written a practical, accessible and comprehensive guide to the role plants play in looking after our health, showing how we can all use herbs to strengthen our immune system, balance energy levels and aid in the treatment of conditions ranging from the common cold to digestive disorders, obesity, arthritis and heart disease.
'The Bellamy Herbal' is an easy to follow, detailed guide to you and your family's health and the essential part that herbs play in every aspect of health care in the 21st Century.
