All over Healing

This book illustrates everything I need to know or want to know about using herbs for natural healing.

Excellent guide to natural remedies

An excellent natural healing reference book. Tons of cross references. So easy to follow. Beautiful clear layout. Covers just about everything. Tells how to do it yourself in many cases. Includes Ayurveda, chinese medicine, flower remedies, herbs, home remedies, aromatherapy, vitamin therapy and homeopathy.

I am looking forward to buying Shealy's other books!

I thoroughly enjoy using this book. It is not only full of information, but visually appealing and easy to read--unlike many medical reference books. Full of color photos of the plants and herbs used so you can find what you need in your own backgarden or if you live in a foreign country and don't know the local name for the plant/herb in question (like me)... full of remedies from many different natural healing methods (ie, 10+ different remedies for diahrea depending on the very specific accompanying symptoms). Clear instructions with photos on how to make tinctures, infusions, etc. I cannot endorse this book enough.

A Must-Have Reference Guide

I have bought many books on alternative medical remedies, but this was one was by far the best. The book is well laid out, easy to read and understand and has easy to follow instructions. It contains remedies from Chinese Herbal, Traditional, Homeopathy, Aromatherapy and even Folk! I have found many uses for this book and already have dog eared pages! This is a definite must-have for anyone interested in alternative remedies and especially for someone building a medical library - you'll just be amazed!
