Book DescriptionFive of the most important disciplines of holistic health-vitamins, minerals, herbal remedies, Bach flower remedies, and aromatherapy-are presented in this unique book, each by an expert in that particular field. Discussions of both vitamins and minerals include alphabetical lists of substances along with information about the sources, uses, and correct dosages of each. The ancient art of healing with herbs is presented, including information about which herbs or plants can improve specific aspects of physical and mental health, the recommended dosage, what to purchase and how to prepare it, and cautions for their use. A concise overview of the wonders of Bach flower remedies explains how these remedies treat the root of physical and emotional problems, not just the symptoms. Finally, a wealth of information about aromatherapy-the healing properties of essential oils produced from plants, flowers, and herbs-is provided.

Book DescriptionHot and Cold Health is a dietary and energetic translation of Traditional Chinese medicine that uses two simple words, hot and cold, in its entire description of health (anatomy, physiology, pathology, diet, nutrition, exercise, meditation, sex, environment, etc.). Health is a function of biology which in turn is largely a function of diet. You are what you eat. There is only one way to eat, exercise, sleep, etc. as there is only one body. Any other way produces sickness. Most people eatpoorly which is why most diseases can be prevented and or cured by the same diet. The solution to the health crisis is not better doctors. It is better health

Book DescriptionMalaria is an increasing worldwide threat, with more than three hundred million infections and one million deaths every year. The disease is increasingly difficult to control as malaria parasites become resistant to drugs, and mosquitoes develop resistance to pesticides. The world's poorest are the worst affected, and they are the least able to afford costly new drugs. Many use traditional medicines to treat themselves. The first book to be published on this subject, Traditional MedicinalPlants and Malaria explores the safety and efficacy of these traditional medicines. It examines the evidence and presents practical guidelines to help researchers study traditional and plant-based antimalarial medicines, mosquito repellents and insecticides.
