Arthritis & Rheumatism: Symptoms, causes, orthodox treatment - and how herbal medicine will help: Symptons, causes, orthodox treatment- and how herbal medicine will help (Herbal Health S.) - Softcover

'As a practising herbalist, with my own retail and mail order business, I am constantly being asked for more information on which herbs to take for specific ailments. The series grew from those frequently asked questions.' Part of the series "Herbal Health" examining herbal medicine as an alternative to modern drugs, this volume looks at understanding the causes of arthritis and rheumatis, the treatment conventional medicine can offer, and how herbs can be used safely to relieve these painful conditions. A directory of useful herbs is included, as well as a chapter on growing and making one's own herbal remedies. Case histories are examined, and the book also looks at ways in which nutrition can be used for bone, joint and muscle health.
