a beautiful, informative, useable book!

there is so much information in this book! and it's so clearly written. i use it often for reference.

Best yet!!!

In my 22 years as a professional healer this is the first book I have found that has it all under one cover. Previously I would have to use 3 or 4 books for research, now I can find everything I'm looking for in Karin's book. I have recommended it to all my clients and given it as a gift to my friends and family. Thank you Karin for this gift of healing! Iris Hawkins Wild Iris Healing Therapies www.wildirisrose.com

An impressive and thoroughly 'reader friendly' 259-page compendium of herbal medicine

In "Botanical Body Care: Herbs And Natural Healing For Your Whole Body", practicing herbalist, teacher, and nutritional consultant Karin C. Uphoff shows how anyone can increase their vitality, strengthen their immune system, relieve physical and psychological stress, prevent illness, and treat common ailments through the use of natural plants and thereby avoid the harmful side effects (and expense!) of conventional pharmaceuticals. "Botanical Body Care' shows how readily available herbs can be easily made into tinctures, extracts, salves, and flavorful teas which have a long and honored history as a general, effective natural remedy for a great many commonly encountered medical conditions. An impressive and thoroughly 'reader friendly' 259-page compendium of herbal medicine, "Botanical Body Care" is an invaluable addition to personal and community library Health & Medicine reference collections, and especially recommended reading for health practitioners, students of the healing arts, nutritionists, dietitians, and non-specialist general readers seeking to take better care of themselves and their families.

Wonderful book - highly recommended!

Crisp, intelligent, down to earth, practical - I find this to be a perfect balance between a lay person's book and something more academic. As a result, it's highly informative and yet easy to, er, digest, with lots of tips and tricks, thorough explanations of why things work the way they do, and fun recipes and other things to try. A rare integrated approach to health and healing. I would have this on my shelf for anyone wanting to stay healthy or dealing with a specific health issue - either wanting to try something outside of or in tandem with western medical practices. Lots of "old world" wisdom here. Highly recommended.

Botanical care with items you can actually find

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.
