Healthy digestion - David Hoffmann

By far the most important contribution we can make to our health is the food we eat. The body requires over forty different nutrients for energy, growth and tissue maintenance and all forty are easily obtained from a well-balanced diet. However, our digestive system can only make all of these nutrients available to the rest of the body if it is working properly and efficiently. David Hoffman shows you how to use herbs easily and effectively to maintain your digestive wellness. Herbs, which are directly assimilated into the bloodstream when consumed, can help ease a wide variety of common digestive ailments including constipation, diarrhoea, diverticulitis, flatulence, heartburn, indigestion and peptic ulcers. '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.
