A self-care guide to treating mental, emotional, and neurological
conditions. Mental health and emotional well-being are just as
important as physical health. And like physical health, there are
many simple ways to improve and support mental wellness with the
healing power of herbs and other holistic remedies and practices.
In this comprehensive guide to natural methods to maintain a
healthy mind, herbalist Brigitte Mars and natural health expert
Chrystle Fiedler explore many common mental health concerns and
stress-related issues—such as anxiety, depression, panic attacks,
anger, insomnia, brain fog, and trauma—and share remedies and
practices to address and heal their root causes. Citing recent
medical studies, they examine the influence of diet and nutrition
on mental health concerns and explore the benefits of specific
foods, herbs, supplements, essential oils, and self-care techniques
like acupressure, massage, and color therapy. The authors also
explore holistic practices and treatments for moving through grief,
breaking free from addiction, working with ADHD and epilepsy,
supporting chronic conditions like bipolar disorder, PTSD, and
Parkinson’s disease, and recovering from traumatic brain injury
(TBI) and stroke. Presenting a wealth of holistic self-care
therapies for mental well-being, emotional balance, and
neurological health, this guide enables each of us to heal the mind
and nurture the soul, two essential keys to a happy, joyful life.
Dandelion Medicine, 2nd Edition is a colourful dive into the many
creative uses of dandelions for food and medicine. From dandelion
root "coffee" to dandelion flower cookies, there are dozens of
delicious ways to use the plant in food, and all parts of the
dandelion are medicinal in a variety of ways. Dandelion is a flower
that almost everyone knows from a young age, so there's little
danger of harvesting the wrong plant-making it ideal for the novice
forager. Author Brigitte Mars has been an herbalist for more than
50 years, and has developed an extensive knowledge of and love for
the plant over that time. In addition to providing ideas for ways
to use the plant, she also shares some of the history and lore
surrounding the dandelion, creating a book that is both a practical
guide and a fascinating read.
Eating food closest to its natural state engenders a tremendous
exchange of energy between food and body. The result, over time, is
a feeling of buoyant, radiant health. Brigitte Mars presents
evidence that confirms the efficacy of the raw foods diet. In
addition, she points out the environmental benefits of the raw food
diet, making the most of agricultural practice, and reducing the
human footprint on the earth.
Herbal medicine is the most time-tested healing tradition in the
world, having evolved over hundreds of thousands of years in
disparate regions and diverse cultures. In this second edition of
THE DESKTOP GUIDE TO HERBAL MEDICINE renowned herbalist, Brigitte
Mars, draws from healing traditions around the world to offer a
concise, comprehensive, eclectic guide to the vast array of
medicinal herbs commonly available. You'll find detailed monographs
of more than 180 herbs, from the commonplace tea and raspberry to
the weedy dandelion and goldenrod to the more exotic ho shou wu and
zedoary. Each monograph gives a broad range of information about
the herb, from its physiological effects and constituents to its
energetics, historical and current medicinal uses, edible
properties and natural range - all in a quick-study format that
allows readers to access the information they need swiftly and
simply. When we welcome herbs into our lives and learn to use them
safely, effectively and confidently, we empower ourselves to take
charge of our own health. This one-stop reference is an invaluable
companion in that pursuit: the study, prescription and use of herbs
to achieve vibrant health, mitigate illness and correct
physiological imbalances. As she does in her many other books, Mars
writes with the goal of guiding readers toward the safe and
effective use of plants as healing and preventative medicine. Her
forthright tone, pragmatic advice and gentle humour shine here,
inviting readers to use THE DESKTOP GUIDE TO HERBAL MEDICINE as
both a study aid and a wide-ranging exploration of the plant realm.
