Herbal Treatments For Emotional Wellbeing: Plant Medicine For Stressful Times Paperback – November 14, 2023

When we read about health and herbs, it is most often about the remedying of physical wounds and ailments, but these days especially there is a great need for tending people’s mental and emotional wellbeing. We increasingly live and function within a highly unhealthy and stressful world of human making, with the pressures of life in the matrix exacting a high cost. These costs and consequences include massive stress that weakens the immune system as well as impacts our chances for equanimity and balance, focus and enjoyment, peace of mind and satisfaction. Constant threats of war and ecological collapse, and unsettling examples of unkindness and injustice, mean we are perpetually on alert, engaged in emergency adaptation and crucial remediation. For the self assigned healer of bodies and cultures, the repair and tending of hearts, minds and spirits is every bit as essential to our personal healing missions and efforts as it is to our personal longterm survival and overall wellbeing.It is important to treat recognizable mental distress and conditions with herbs that are addressed in this book, and to do so with natural herbs and methodologies instead of the usually deadening and often addictive pharmaceutical drugs commonly prescribed. It can, however, be a mistake to treat even the most familiar physical ailments without also considering and addressing the mental and emotional factors that may have either triggered or exacerbated and prolonged the problem. Physical issues and chronic pain in particular can also lead to emotional insecurity and mental distress over time, if clients are not warned of and prepared for it. In every case, specific herbs and therapies are advised to alleviate the issues and dis-eases of both the body and mind. Herbal Treatments For Emotional Wellbeing provides many an insight, perspective and tool for this purpose, consisting of 26 chapters by 14 highly experienced and deeply inspiring practitioners. Each page was pulled directly from the past two decades of the in-depth Plant Healer Quarterly magazine, and we have gathered them here as a service to all you caregivers and world-menders. Our hope is that you will be more able to tend your own emotional state and needs, as well as utilize the information in order to better assist the healing of your friends’ and clients’ whole selves, the different hidden inner factors as well as the more evident physical maladies.
