A guide examining one of the most important, yet often most neglected, organ systems in the body - from the mouth, to the stomach, to the pancreas and liver - and how to keep it healthy with herbal medicine and natural healing
Digestive complaints account for around 30% of health consultations, and more than 40% of unrelated consultations end up being connected to the gut. An unhealthy gut, as well as causing gastrointestinal disorders, contributes to most other chronic health issues, ranging from neurological issues to chronic fatigue to mental health issues, as well as many more. And although a functioning digestive system is imperative for energy, intelligence, happiness and survival, it is often one of the most poorly understood and mistreated systems in the human body.
In her twenty five years of herbal practice, Christine Herbert has treated a plethora of patients, whose issues more often than not stemmed from problems with digestion. In Digestion, the Key to Good Health Herbert condenses this wisdom into a pioneering guide on how to maintain a normal, healthy gut.
The book sets out discussing the whole digestive process, from top to bottom, exploring all the organs and tissues involved. It moves on to discuss symptoms to be aware of that something is amiss with digestion and the gut, addressing a range of specific conditions such as reflux and GORD, mouth ulcers, IBS, leaky gut, haemorrhoids and many more. Herbert concludes Digestion, the Key to Good Health by exploring herbs that assist healthy digestion, condensed into a materia medica for ease of reference, along with other natural ways to help digestion.
Digestion, the Key to Good Health is an essential guide for all herbalists, naturopaths and nutritionists to assist with their diagnosis and treatment of both digestive issues and the wider impact of the digestive system on chronic illnesses. The clear and accessible prose will also appeal to anyone looking to maintain a healthier digestive system and understand the functioning of their own body more deeply.
