Herbs Plain & Simple: Over 100 Recipes for Health and Healing (Marlene Houghton)

Gentle and effective herbs for a wide range of common complaints 

More and more, people are turning toward natural therapies for both wellness and healing, and Marlene Houghton has written a book that takes the guesswork out of herbal healing. Written for the beginner with no experience working with herbs, Herbs Plain & Simple is organized by body system so that you can look up your ailment or area of concern, and read about the recommended herbs for specific conditions. Houghton discusses herbs in context of the body system they benefit — herbs for circulation, herbs for the respiratory system, herbs for digestion, and so forth. Along the way, the author shares a little about each herb's history, its medicinal benefits, and how it can be used — poultice, tea, or as prepared, commercially available tablets. You will find that many of the same herbs pop up in multiple parts of this book, for their beneficial qualities are wide-ranging. 

A mode of healing that addresses mind, body, and spirit, herbal remedies maintain your body's systems to boost immunity, improve your health, and help you stay well.
