A beginner's guide to herbalism: the ancient art and science of plants to transform your life
When it comes to our health and well-being, modern treatments can take us only so far. What we're missing is a holistic, individualized, and natural approach that addresses the roots of our discomfort with life-changing results. In other words, we need herbalism.
Introducing herbalism as a vital layer of our well-being, clinical herbalist Rachelle Robinett reveals the natural remedies and rituals that can boost our health and happiness. Did you know that cloves and turmeric have analgesic properties that relieve pain? That if you struggle with anxiety, nervines such as lemon balm help quiet spiraling thoughts? That for a boost of motivation, nootropics like lavender support healthy dopamine levels, while adding bitters to your diet can improve digestion?
Walking readers through the key herbal categories, their functions, and how to best use them, Naturally shows how herbalism can be applied to all aspects of our lives—from reducing stress and depression to relieving pain and helping us sleep to stimulating sexual desire, improving liver function, and enhancing cognition—and offers simple recipes and formulas for herbal remedies.
