Herb Garden

by Helen Lyman

"Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed which is upon the face of the earth." -- Genesis 1:30
Helen Lyman presents the history of plants and herbs in a most interesting way. The names of these herbs appear, over and over again, in myths and legends, and as you read this book you will find that they are a cure-all, not only for the ills of the body, but for the mind and heart as well.
This concise book aims to put before the reader in a very lucid language, the simplest way to start and cultivate a herb garden and to acquaint them as precisely as possible with the pleasure of the procedure.
The book opens with a short history of the use of herbs in different parts of the world. The the author gives a working list of 30 basic herbs with information on the use of each and then a chapter with detailed instructions on setting up a herb garden. This is followed by a short digression of herbs in the plays of Shakespeare. Finally a sample meal menu using the 30 herbs recommended is given.
This small classic was originally published in the US in 1934 under the title 30 Herbs Will Make an Herb Garden. It has been out-of-print for many years and -- until this Pilgrims reprint edition -- has been very difficult to obtain.

How to Cure Indigestion

by Milton Powell

This excellent guidebook provides holistic and practical techniques to demonstrate how we can rid ourselves of the plague of indigestion.

Modern medical practices are advocating measures, which tend to suppress diseases by means of poisonous drugs instead of intelligently using Nature's bounties, which not only cure radically but can also prevent disease permanently. Modern drugs and injections cure one disease but often lead to another more serious than the original one.

Milton Powell lays bare the causes of indigestion and goes on to prescribe a drugless curative regime. He advocates a step-by-step method, which a nature healer should adopt for the treatment of the disease. He also proposes water cure, exercises and self-massage as a therapy for this very common ailment. The author recommends practical tips on healthy, nourishing diets and tells us to stay away from usual dietetic blunders.

Nature's Remedies: A Popular Treatise on the Chemistry of Herbs

by J W Bell

Ask any person what they most desire: they will tell you "Health". Hence the necessity that people should have the knowledge to maintain the essentials of physical life - perfect health. Even so, our hospitals are full and the sale of harmful drugs is on the increase.

Health, and not disease, is our natural heritage. Many seek this goal, only to find that the most they can hope for is a patching up by inoculation or some other craze from which the great essential is carefully omitted. The remedy is in Nature itself.

It is the violation of natural laws that brings about disease, yet Nature, the ever-bountiful, stands ready to rectify the damage done. A remedy for practically every disease is to be found among the herbs and it is by the study of herbal properties that each of us can obtain health supreme.
The ancients knew the value of herbs as remedies for disease; they passed on their knowledge by word of mouth, and it comes to us still through the centuries. Herbal remedies do not merely alleviate; they reach the root of the matter and can change a wrong way of living to a right way; they supply the missing elements in a natural, and therefore lasting, manner. Herbalism means Health.
This book introduces us to the science of herbs, including a description of many important herbs (with drawings); growing herbs in a herbal garden; remedies and how to prepare them; and herbal cosmetics.

Neem: The Ultimate Herb

by John Conrick

Neem: The Ultimate Herb is the most comprehensive book about neem available. This book presents current information about neem, one of the most ancient and widely used herbs on earth. A major herbal ingredient in Ayurvedic preparations, neem has been revered in India for over 4,000 years, and yet is almost unknown in the West.

Neem has historically been used to help the body fight both temporary and chronic conditions. It is this long history of successful use against many diseases and ailments that provided the impetus for hundreds of scientific studies into the properties and uses of neem that this book details.

Called possibly the most promising of all plants, neem yields a wide array of products. They range from non-toxic pest control to inexpensive arrays of medicines for many of the world's worst diseases and birth control for both men and women. This book concentrates on the medicinal properties while providing enough information about all of neem' s marvellous attributes to answer most questions.

This book also provides easy-to-understand instructions for using neem along with credible scientific evidence as to its effectiveness. After finishing this book, you will understand and appreciate the amazing qualities in neem. You will also be able to more intelligently select quality neem products for your own use.

John Conrick has been a driving force for introducing neem into the United States for almost twenty years. Founder and Director of the Neem Association, John continues to promote neem for its medicinal and ecological properties. His efforts have directly resulted in a number of neem-based health and beauty aid companies, thousand of neem trees planted in the United States and neem tree plantations in Mexico, the Bahamas and Haiti.

Reiki and the Healing Buddha

by Maureen J Kelly

The origins of Reiki go back to the Buddhist Tradition in the distant past. One of the forms of Buddha revered in Tibet and China was the "Healing Buddha". Esoteric meanings are associated with the Reiki symbols and principles. These meanings originate in the Buddhist concepts  of healing. While Dr. Usui rediscovered Reiki by studying Buddhist sutras, much of the hidden, esoteric sense has been overlooked in the subsequent teaching of Reiki to Christian practitioners in the West. The underlying symbology and esoteric sense provide new deeper understanding to the action and principles of Reiki and can enhance the practice, regardless of your own particular religious or philosophical background. Reiki and the Healing Buddha reconnects Reiki with its Buddhist antecedents and provides both the experienced practitioner and the interested layperson with new insights and viewpoints on Reiki.

The Twelve Healers and Other Remedies

by Edward Bach

Bach believes that it is our own fears, anxieties and idiosyncracies that give to diseases in us. "Let us seek these out and heal them, and with the healing of them will go the diseases from which we suffer," exhorts the author. He goes to prescribe the herbs which he thinks are "given unto us by the Grace of the Creator of all." With simple and harmless remedies prescribed by this staunch advocate of "Back-to-Nature", even the layman may give emergency treatment, which can often be lifesaving.
The author, Dr Edward Bach, was a famous British doctor who discovered the unique Bach Flower Remedies, which are 38 homeopathically-formulated plant and flower-based remedies used to heal our fears, anxieties, worries, faults and failings. Each remedy is used to treat a specific emotion. The remedies help restore balance and overcome negative feelings which, if untreated, can lead to bodily illness.
"To a physician guided by such principles as are enunciated by Dr Bach... this book will be of inestimable value, as also to those sufferers who search after the pure gold of self-knowledge and health." -- S Vasu
