The Encyclopedia of Natural Medicine Third Edition (For Fans of Holistic Healing)

This book does what others don’t, in so many ways. It makes the dosages of vitamins, herbs, and minerals perfectly clear, and explains which ones are needed. Its chapters are divided according to ailments, age, and physical conditions, describing in a remarkably well-articulated way how to remedy what is not going well. It begins with an extensive chapter on establishing good health for all ages and how to maintain it. The book is written by two highly qualified authors: Dr. Joseph Pizzorno, an expert in Ayurveda and founder of Baseer College of Ayurveda, and Michael Murray, an authority on conventional and herbal medicine. The book also discusses diet and exercise, and the crucial role they play in maintaining good health across all age groups. I recommend this book above all others I have read. As a 79-year-old health enthusiast since my teens, I have studied leading works from Arnold Ehret and his Mucusless Diet Healing System to George Ohsawa’s Macrobiotics, and even Johanna Brandt’s Grape Cure. This book is the one.

Excellent Book. Use it all the time to help family and friends. Easy read. Very clear on how body work. Don't need to be a doctor to understand.

Outstanding and amazing book! I have bought a couple for gifts. A great go-to for so many things. Written in scientific layman's terms - by this I mean that people with at least average intelligence can interpret most of it. I am a nurse of 30+ years and 2 degrees and I understood most of it. Some stuff I had to look up to supplement further and better understanding. Overall, it is realllllly informative. The authors have gone to great pains to do a lot of research, it seems. The information seems to be objectively presented. I have started following many of the recommendations and feel much better. At the time I first got this book (I ordered it because it was a great deal and I had interest in the topic) I had just torn a tendon in my foot. The first thing I did was look up natural healing enhancement of such an injury. I found that Tumeric & Bromelain would be helpful, and indeed they were. A month later I came down with an autoimmune condition with vision loss. This book helped me understand these conditions better, how our bodies heal, general wellness principles; and, of course, supplement recommendations for optimum wellness. I HIGHLY recommend this book.

Purchased 8 years ago. Very good herbal medicine reference book with plenty of documentation. Loads of good info.

Very informative

It's all a world of nature and Michael T. Murray knows that, this book is filled with golden information that you could use in every medical situation you could think of, the most interesting for me, was the special topic sections from weight management and from detox and stress management, etc. Buy this you are not going to regret it, it's going to change your life

I refer to this all the time and have found it very helpful.

Invaluable guide for anyone wanting solid information on alternative healing...something other than the standard "pills or surgery" that are most commonly used in standard medicine today. While it gives much detailed information about alternate forms of treatment for many diseases, it is written in an accessible style. You don't need a degree in health care to understand what's in this book. It's a great reference. Anyone who believes that the body can heal itself naturally if given the means to do so should read this book. Highly recommended.
