Book description
At a time when health scares abound, new drugs and medical treatments
are continually emerging and we are forced to be ever-more cautious as
to the foods we eat, people are increasingly looking for alternative
ways of treating and restoring their health. The healing properties of
plants has long been recognised, but knowing exactly what we should be
giving our families and how this 'alternative' medicine can work safely
alongside modern treatments can seem rather less straightforward. David
Bellamy - Britain's favourite botanist - here draws on his many years of
research and teaching to give us a practical, accessible and
comprehensive guide to herbalism, showing how we can all use herbs to
strengthen our immune system, boost energy levels and treat conditions
ranging from the common cold to digestive disorders, arthritis and heart
disease. Bellamy's Herbal is an easy to follow, detailed guide to
everything you need to know about herbal remedies and supplements and
how they can be used to treat you and your family safely and
effectively. Professor David Bellamy, botanist, writer and broadcaster
has become one of the best-known and respected personalities in Britain.
He is the author of 80 scientific papers and 34 books, many of which are
bestselling children's titles. He has written and presented numerous
television programmes both for the BBC and for independents. His
programmes have won many national awards, including the Richard Dimbleby
Award at BAFTA. He is president, patron or trustee of numerous
conservation and environmental organisations and founded the
Conservation Foundation in 1982. David Bellamy's autobiography Jolly
Green Giant is published by Century.
