Book Description
By far the most important contribution we can make to the health of our digestive system is the food we eat. The body requires over 40 nutrients for energy, growth and tissue maintenance and all 40 are easily available from a well rounded diet. Providing it is working properly, the digestive system makes all of the different nutrients available to the rest of the body. But the average Western diet today includes a huge amount of over processed food, chemical additives, chemical irritation in the form of alcohol, carbonated drinks and tobacco. Healthy Digestion is the complete guide to tapping into the power of herbs to maintain a healthy digestive system with a full directory of useful herbs, preparation instructions and dosage information, and a chapter on simple ways to make your own teas, tinctures, powders and capsules.
