Excerpt from how this book works:

“Holistic medicine is all about treating the whole person, focusing no just on physical symptoms but an emotinal and spiritual aspects contributing to the disorder. This is the approach that has always been taken by herbalists=be they trained in traditional Western methods, Chinese medicine, or ayurveda. The Holistic Herbal Dierectory adopts the same definition of “holistic”, but also looks at each of the traditional therapies would tackle a particular ailment, to give a comprehensive approach to therapy.”
