effective. Now, a master herbalist with more than twenty-five
years of experience who is also a mother of two shares her natural
approach to wellness. Inside you'll find easy holistic therapies
for common childhood injuries and ailments, and learn:
- how a banana can
remove a splinter
- which herbs help
reduce fever
- how an onion helps
both bruises and earaches
- why garlic is nature's
antibiotic

rosemary hair juice prevents lice
- why peppermint tea
relieves both headaches and stomachaches
- how gargling with
lemon juice and table salt can ease a sore throat

intelligent uses of foods and therapeutic plants -- nature's own
medicine -- to alleviate discomforts.

it.
Here's what
Vegetarian Baby and Child said about the
book: ...the definitive guide for parents
looking for an alternative...
Written by a
Master Herbalist who has worked with physicians and in her own
private practice for the past 25 years, Gentle Healing for Baby and
Child is to common treatments for everyday problems. In an
accessible format, this guide includes solutions to ailments that
occur both inside and outside the body. Got acne? Try an herbal
detoxification, an herbal steam, or some Herbal Zinc Zapper. The
Zapper recipe contains a mixture of zinc oxide, peppermint, and
comfrey. Got a stressed out teen? Dose him with some Honegar - a
mixture of honey and vinegar - to restore his chemical balance. In
this book, the authors explain that the "floral nectars that
comprise honey contain B vitamins and minerals which are calming to
the nervous system." While you've got the honey jar out, don't
forget to layer it over your little one's skinned knee before
applying a bandage. Honey contains natural "anti-microbial
properties."
Also included are sections that address
subjects such as "Healing Imagery," as well as instructions for
dosing herbs, where to find a local natural health practitioner, how
to deal with toxicity, and even testing for food reactions.
Herbalist Candee has created a helpful, easy to use guide to natural
healing for parents.
Dianne from
Chelsea, MA had to say about the book: It has
been a great reference book...As a fairly young herbalist
myself, I am very pleased with all the informative and varied
remedies suggested in this book. It is very easy to reference and
very user friendly; nothing complicated. Andrea Candee offers a
gentle manner in her representation of suggested remedies. I have
bought three extra copies to give as baby shower gifts! It's really
nice to see such a variation of alternative remedies/treatment
talked about in this book, such as homeopathic, chiropractic,
essential oils, onion poultices, and of course herbal preparations.
It's nice to be able to make your own decision on a few different
suggestions in many cases. It has been a great reference book for
myself and other friends with babies as well. I highly recommend
this book!!
