Book Description
The hormonal problems that are prevalent among women of all ages have many causes, including family and occupational stress, dietary habits, and our chemical environment. These problems are particularly amenable to herbal and nutritional treatment, but they are also multifactorial and sometimes subtle. The interplay of hormonal receptors and natural products is becoming ever better known, as is the role of these receptors in conditions as diverse as breast cancer and polycystic ovary syndrome, or PCOS. It is not always easy to make sense of this information, however, and its sheer abundance can be quite overwhelming. The purpose of this book is to give a concise overview of the principles of treatment for hormonal conditions in women that are of direct practical benefit in practice. Geared toward prospective, new, and experienced herbal practitioners, it aims to provide a clear working knowledge of the hormonal basis of gynaecological problems to help herbalists form practical, straightforward treatment plans that can be easily documented and explained to patients. Having a clear, therapeutic rationale motivates patients to participate fully in their treatment, understand what is happening as it progresses, and remain in treatment long enough to see its full benefit.

Book Description
An in depth textbook outlining a holistic approach to using herbal medicine to treat specific conditions seen in gynaecology. In a much needed discussion surrounding gynaecological health, Hananja Brice-Ytsma and Nathalie Chidley expertly integrate traditional knowledge and clinical research to tackle a number of gynaecological conditions, outlining comprehensive treatments for each, employing the bounty of herbal medicine. Through distinct and comprehensive chapters, each discussing a different condition, the authors provide clear understanding of the physiological processes behind each condition, deepening the reader’s understanding of the herbs in the context of female health. Included in the text are dietary and lifestyle sections with research directly relevant to each condition, enabling a practitioner to make informed, evidence-based recommendations. The second section of the book includes monographs of ‘non hormonal herbs’ traditionally used in female health. These are herbs with a long tradition of use in gynaecology and were not covered in the first volume of this series. With its valuable, in-depth research and accessible format – complete with photographs of the relevant herbs – Herbal Medicine in Treating Gynaecological Conditions Volume 2 is a must for the bookshelf of any practitioner or student of herbal medicine. Herbal Medicine in Treating Gynaecological Conditions Volume 1 was co-written with Adrian McDermott and published by Aeon in 2020.

Book Description
Medicinal flora plays an important role in health care systems across the world. Out of the half million flowering plants, around 50.000 species are valued for their therapeutic properties. During the last few decades, 20% of the world’s population used plants and/or their derived products as a source of medicine. WHO stated that 80% population around the globe, specifically the rural communities, depend on medicinal plants for their basic healthcare needs. To this end, plant-based phytochemicals are known to have hepato-protective, anti-carcinogenic, anti-allergic, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, antioxidant actions. This book is a guide to ~280 plant species of medicinal flora that demonstrates global relevance. Our goal is to share local knowledge about phytomedicines to a worldwide audience. It is an illustrated reference that documents and preserves the existing knowledge on these plant taxa, with a social and cultural (ethnobotanical) emphasis. This book also provides comprehensive and useful information about traditional uses of medicinal plants by the local communities for the treatment of various prevalent diseases. It contains comprehensive descriptions of each species including family, synonyms, English name, distribution, altitude, habitat, morphological description, life form, part used, mode of utilization, diseases category, recipes, other medicinal uses, phytochemical activity and toxicity.
