About this listen
If you want to skyrocket your health without wasting money on drugs that can more harm than good, then keep reading…
Herbal medicine has been used for thousands of years and it is has been re-gaining popularity recently but it’s still a long way behind allopathic medicine. But, what do our ancient traditions teach us, are they all the same and how do we know why or what works? There is limited research and evidence yet we know many of the remedies, at the very least, help with prevention.
Nowadays, pharmaceutical drugs are the go-to for every little symptom from a headaches and coughs to depression and anxiety.
Not only is over-use beginning to be a problem, but these pills can come with significant side effects, especially in the long run… and they hardly ever address the underlying condition of your symptoms.
That’s why we need to consider alternative treatments for our health.
Herbal medicine works holistically. It is a way of life as much as a set of remedies. It strengthens your body, boosts your immune system, and restores your overall health. We have much to re-learn from our indigenous and ancient traditions and their wisdom. By the end of this book, you will have an understanding of the energetic basis of vitalist and holistic medicine as well as the more common allopathic herbalist approach.
In Herbal Remedies for Health and Healing For Beginners, there are over 70 herbs detailed that can help over 20 common conditions and most have some scientific basis and research-backing of their benefits. The approach is both allopathic and holistic herbalism.
In Herbal Remedies for Health and Healing For Beginners, we lay the foundations of holistic and vitalist herbalism and outline the main teachings from our traditions - all of them support energetics - the foundations of why herbs and plants actually work.
This is not a book that hides the benefits of allopathic medicine—there are many. It is an honest consideration of the value of herbs and plants for healing and it will help you begin your journey—if you choose to take it.
Even better? You can find it in nature for free!
Learn the basics of herbalism and where it comes from and empower yourself to treat your own ailments with great success.
In Herbal Remedies for Health and Healing For Beginners, you will discover:
- How to treat 20+ ailments with the most powerful and easy-to-recognize herbal remedies that you can wildcraft or buy and use safely at home
- A behind-the-scenes look at the demonization of herbal medicine in the early 1900s (understand how we got where we are today)
- Natural herbal alternatives to common Western drugs that are just as effective, come with no side effects, don’t cost any money, and perhaps even grow in your backyard
- The major differences between ancient and modern medicine—and the reason modern medicine doesn’t actually heal your body
- The capitalist strategy behind Western medicine... and why so many patients get hooked on drugs without getting any better
- An introduction to the 4 most powerful ancient traditional medicines
- An in-depth introduction to the different types of herbal solutions (so you know what to use to treat your ailments -- and when)
- 3 natural remedies that are safe to use at home for 25+ common health issues
And much more.

Long before the first pharmaceutical companies opened their doors in the 1850s, doctors treated people, not symptoms. And although we've become used to popping pills, Americans have finally had it with the dangerous side effects, addiction, and over-prescribing - and they're desperate for an alternative. Here's the good news: That alternative has been here all along in the form of ancient treatments used for eons in traditional Chinese, Ayurvedic, and Greek medicine.

You may think you don’t have the time or the money to start a big permaculture project. But permaculture doesn’t need to be overwhelming. You can start as small as you like, and you can move at a pace that suits you. Don’t feel you have to learn everything in one go and rush out to transform a whole wilderness in a year. Just deal in manageable chunks, and you’ll do just fine. Even if all you have done is tend to a few tomato plants on your window ledge, you can become an expert gardener; all it takes is a little time, patience, and practice.

As the parent of two sons who went on to play baseball in college as well as a former head baseball coach at the NCAA level, I want to share alternatives with parents that will allow their children to avoid the anxiety and stress that many face within the overstructured and overorganized world of travel baseball. The hamster wheel of travel ball is a business model and not a baseball development model. For kids, baseball should be all about one thing—having fun! We play it as kids, watch and listen to it as adults, and pass down our love of it through generations.

Despite being relatively unheard of, endometriosis affects an estimated one in 10 women worldwide. That's roughly 190 million people, and due to misdiagnosis, there's likely many more who are suffering without treatment. Getting a diagnosis of endometriosis can feel like a blessing and a curse. Knowing that you're not going crazy or blowing things out of proportion can be a huge relief. However, a diagnosis can also lead to feelings of isolation and discouragement - especially when you’re faced with treatment options that seem extreme. But don't despair - you aren't alone.

Within Ayurveda, all diseases and unhealthful conditions are the product of imbalances in the natural forces of life within the body, mind, and spirit of the person. The ultimate goal of ayurvedic medicine is to return these powers to their natural state of equilibrium. Ayurvedic medicine, also known as Ayurveda, is one of the oldest holistic healing systems in the world. It was established in India thousands of years ago. It is based on the principle that health and well-being depend on a delicate balance between mind, body, and spirit.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 135
In this new translation of the Gospel of Thomas, Leloup shows that the Jesus recorded by the "infinitely skeptical and infinitely believing" Thomas has much in common with gnostics of non-dualistic schools. Like them, Jesus preaches the coming of a new man, the genesis of the man of knowledge. In this gospel, Jesus describes a journey from limited to unlimited consciousness. The Jesus of Thomas invites us to drink deeply from the well of knowledge within, not so that we may become good Christians but so we may attain the self-knowledge that will make each of us, too, a Christ.

Woooow, this book is comprehensive! When I started shifting my lifestyle about 15 years ago to include "Clean Eating" and chemical-free household and personal products, I knew it was just the beginning. My home is full of homemade whipped body butter ingredients, essential oils and my mother and looked at some local herbal/ homeopathy classes! I literally was just remarking on wanting to learn foraging because I have a deep-seeded fear of being stranded in the wilderness and not knowing what's safe to eat. What I like about this book is that it breaks down the differences between ancient medicines and today "technological" advances that really only treat the symptoms and keep you sick versus focusing on prevention or natural healing. This book is going to be a permanent resource for me as it also discusses specific ailments. One in particular that interests me is the chapter on dementia as I come from a long line of fabulous ladies that have been stricken by it. I'm excited to go over this book with my mom and whip up some recipes for overall wellness. If I'm completely honest, I need to take a peek at the print version so I can take notes and thumb through specific sections... Gingko Biloba, here I come!

Wonderful herbalism resource!
Just in time for my new hobby of growing herbs! Herbal medicine really does wonders if done right, this book does a super job in sharing information of the research and practical ways to herbalism success! It touches on how to apply these natural remedies effectively and explains the benefits of traditional medicine. I like the part where it lets you know various types of these remedies so you know what medicine works depending on the ailment! The narration is well done with a good pace, making the information easy to absorb. Nature is your friend, learn how it looks out for your well-being! Highly recommended!

very informative
This book has helped me understand and appreciate the importance of Herbal medicine. Before the invention of the Pharmaceutical drug, was Herbal medicine, Most pharmaceutical drugs were made out of herbal medicines, and The only difference is that Herbal medicines have no side effects as pharmaceutical drugs do.
This book is helping me and my wife to gradually switch to herbs and plant-based treatment.

GREAT REFERENCE BOOK TO HAVE
This book on complementary medicine for illnesses strikes a good balance. The author does not disparage or dismiss Western medicine. Additionally, it provides an exciting overview of the history of medicine and is well-researched. I would consult this book rather than browse the broad internet because the author looks informed about herbal medicines. I enjoyed the emphasis on balance, although I did wish there had been a section on herbs for allergies. These included a chapter on boosting immunity, but the author cautioned readers against doing so because it could result in auto-immune problems.

Great information!
I have always been curious about remedies that have been passed down through the generations of Indigenous and Chinese as I have heard amazing stories. Recently, I have been watching a TV show that shows people using natural medicines in the wilderness. As I was watching, I thought to myself....how do they know this stuff??? Well, on my own hunt for natural medicines for common issues, this book was a great starting place! It lists out multiple plants and uses and will be great for a beginner like me. I highly recommend it!

I learned so much!
Like a lot of people in the last few years, I've grown skeptical of big pharma. So anywhere I can get some natural remedied - I'm excited to explore. What a treasure trove of new information. I really enjoyed listening. Excellent narrator too.

Benefits of our nature
Such an amazing book for those who has interest to learn about hearbs and there uses to meditate ourselves by natural herbs. I love the way Aurthor has explained every detail about how such herbs are helpful for us, how to use them, and how to keep ourselves healthier with these meditation herbs. The best book to learn about the benefits that nature has provided us Thanks to the aurthor for sharing his knowledge with others. I'm already passionate about nature, and the way the narrator describes it makes me even more so.

Fantastic information in this book
Excellent audiobook and I found it very interesting and I believe in the power of herbal medicine. In addition, this book discusses the benefits of traditional medicine and how to apply these natural remedies effectively, which can be a complete treatment for diseases mentioned in the book.
My passion for organic food and natural remedies free of chemicals and side effects is unwavering. I highly recommend listening to this if you want a natural choice!

Nothing better than natural remedies to cure you
As a Native American, I studied natural remedies when I lived on the reservation with my grandfather, who was a medicine man. Over the years I have seen natural cures used by Native Americans and other indigenous tribes, as well as Chinese TCM. There are thousands of documented cases where natural remedies were used to treat and cure many diseases. Look at journals like PubMed and see all of the natural items that can kill cancer cells, instead of using chemotherapy or radiation, which also kill healthy cells. The reason that these natural ingredients are not used in the mainstream treatment of disease is because Big Pharma, cannot patent a natural ingredient, so it is not in their best interest to try and cure anyone with any disease. Cures do not make them as much money as keeping someone on a prescribed medicine for a lifetime. Doctors prescribe drugs because that is what they are taught and they are supported by the drug companies. This book gives a great overview of some of the natural ingredients and their usage throughout the years.
