Botanical Body Care: Herbs and Natural Healing for Your Whole Body

Not only does this book include lots of well organized information about herbal healing and alternative methods of healing but it is very interesting reading in itself. Karin Uphoff knows her anatomy and body systems so well that she can inform us about them in a lively way that helps make sense of illness, why it occurs and what is happening in the particular body system. The illustrations are clear and helpful. If you want one book on healing herbs this should be it.

The book was in great condition, but the contents were not what I was hoping for.

I did the basic bowel cleanse with great results including heightened energy, weight loss, plus an increase in mental clarity. I've felt so much better eating the recommended cleansing diet, that I am continuing with it, occasionally adding a small amount of organic meat. Botanical Body Care offers an encouraging invitation, delivered with ease and humor, to actively participate in conscious self care.Francie Nolan, Homeopath

Botanical Body Care is so rich in information and ideas. I keep discovering more and more every time I open it up. It is like a lifetime's collection of special jewels on so many levels for healing and maintaining high level health.

Good information.

As a person who has had a terrible experience with trying to find relief from what were really minor health problems, who spend years with periodic pain, who spent thousands of dollars on western medicine, who got condescending and conflicting information from AMA doctors.....I wish that I had this book ten years ago. I would have saved me all of that. I have it now and it's my health bible.

A basic guide to using herbs for health purposes, this book contains many easy to make recipes for specific problems. The various body systems covered include intestinal, digestive, respiratory, urinary, reproductive, nervous, lymph, and the immune system. The author discusses each system, common problems and herbal recipes that can be used to treat various problems. A particularly interesting Appendix includes information on how to use herbs commonly found in most kitchens to benefit your health.If you want a basic primer on using herbs that is not so complex as to make it impossible to comprehend and yet not so basic that it really is useless then this may be the book you are looking for. Author Karin Uphoff strikes a solid middle ground to make Botanical Body Care approachable to everyone from the complete novice to the intermediate level person interested in herbal recipes. Botanical Body Care is highly recommended to the home user interested in botanical remedies.

I found this to be an excellent reference book. I was previously diagnosed with high blood pressure, and I wanted to see if I could control it naturally. I looked in the index, found the appropriate sections, and followed the recommendations (and ran them by my nurse practitioner as well). Within a month my blood pressure was back to normal and has stayed there ever since. I've consulted this book for other health needs as well, and have found it thorough, informative, well presented, and well written. I highly recommend it.
