The Green Pharmacy
Many diseases and conditions for which we turn to modern medicine can also be treated naturally with healing herbs, medicinal food, other natural remedies--and these treatments can be safer, less expensive and possibly even more effective than traditional methods. Let Dr. James Duke, the world's leading authority on healing herbs, lead you through the vast world of natural remedies--from Anise for Asthma to Violet for Varicose Veins, and everything in between. With just a few trips to the health-food store, the supermarket, or your own backyard--and with the help of Dr. Duke--you'll have everything you need to create your own Natural Medicine Cabinet.
THE GREEN PHARMACY HERBAL HANDBOOK:
This is the handy companion book to James A. Duke Ph.D's original
THE GREEN PHARMACY.......
YES, he is a botanist but has studied all the herbal remedies from plants.......his books are great "food for thought".

HERBAL REMEDIES FOR VIBRANT HEALTH:
Rosemary Gladstar is the mother of modern herbalism. Her wisdom and vision have inspired an entire generation of herbal healers, and her insights into the healing power of plants have helped people everywhere embrace more natural, healthy, and radiant lives.
Rosemary Gladstar's Herbal Recipes for Vibrant Health is the author's practical compendium of herbal know-how. Written with her signature warmth, this must-have reference will help readers of every life stage enjoy radiant well-being, every day. Limit stress and anxiety, get adequate rest, boost immunity, improve mental acuity, and embrace life balance — these are elements of Gladstar's prescription for wellness, longevity, and boundless energy.
The bulk of the book is dedicated to specific herbal remedies for everyone in the family — adults, babies, children, and elders.
************************************************** *********
Herbs, like anything else, should be used safely and in moderation , not in mega doses.
What suprises me is how many people will willingly take coumadin or another prescribed blood thinner and then have to "LIMIT" or eliminate, depending on their blood workup........foods like BROCCOLI, CRANBERRIES, GINGER AND ON AND ON AND ON........which are all natural blood thinners...........
What they don't know is that coumadin and warfarin type pharmaceuticals were originally developed from a simple rat poison which had the rats bleed out. Horrible thought either way, and sad, but true if you do the research.
Garlic is another natural blood thinner; perhaps that is the clue to why Italians lived so long back in the olden days.
A dear friend and relative has to limit so many of her beloved healthy foods because she is on the prescribed blood thinner for her mitral valve replacement (artificial valve).
The pharmaceutical companies want you and the doctors beholden to them for simple profit reasons.
