The
New Holistic Herbal by David Hoffmann. (Pub. 1997, Element Books)
This is a wonderful book on herbs which I have kept by me for years. From
the preface by George Trevelyan: "This is a beautiful and fascinating
book, an entralling gateway into a wonderful world. The beginner can understand
and the expert really use it.....In holistic thinking we become eclectic and
learn to draw our truth from many complementary sources. Thus herbalism opens
up a wonderful field for natural healing...In our age of drugs and chemicals,
here is a path to safe treatment which respects the Oneness of Life. This
book is delightfully illustrated and produced." There is a chapter for
each system of the body. Other chapter headings include: Infections and Infestations,
Cancer, Wholeness and prevention; The Chemistry of Herbs, The Action of Herbs,
The Preparation of Herbs, Bibliography, Index.
The HeartMath Solution by Doc Childre and Howard Martin with Donna Beech. (Pub. 1999, Harper Collins). From the Introduction: "Through the Institute's research, in conjunction with the research of others, we've been able to build a compelling case that the heart does have an intelligence that influences our perceptions. Our research challenge has been to see whether (and how) the philosophical 'heart' and the physical heart interact.We've found that indeed they do, and in a number of ways. As impressive as much of what we've discovered is, however, there's much more to learn....our theory is that the heart links us to a higher intelligence through an intuitive domain where spirit and humanness merge. This intuitive domain is something much larger than the perceptual capability as we learn to do what sages and philosophers have asked us to do for ages: listen to and follow the wisdom of the heart." From Chapter 1: "Many ancient cultures, including the Mesopotamians, the Egyptians, the Babylonians, and the Greeks, maintain that the primary organ capable of influencing and directing our emotions, our morality, and our decision-making ability was the heart, and they consequently attached enormous emotional and moral significance to its behavior. Similar perspectives are found in the Hebrew and Christian bibles as well as in Chinese, Hindu, and Islamic traditions....In the Kabbalah the heart is the Central Sphere, the only one of ten to touch all the others, and it's reputed to hold the key to the mysteries of radiant health, joy, and well-being. The aspect of balance and the attainment of bodily equilibrium is also attributed to the heart in Yogic traditions, which recognize the heart as the seat of individual consciousness, the center of life....
In traditional Chinese medicine, the heart is seen as the seat of connection between the mind and the body, forming a bridge between the two. It's said that the heart-blood houses the shen, which can be translated as both 'mind' and 'spirit'. Thus the mind or spirit is housed in the heart, and the blood vessels are the communication channels that carry the heart's vital rhythmic messages throughout the body, keeping everything working in synchrony. It isn't surprising, then, that Chinese medicine holds that the state of each bodily organ as well as the body's integral functioning as a whole can be assessed via the pulse of the heart."
What I Can See For You! by Ruth Barrett (Pub. 1996, Crystal Books, UK). From the Introduction: "This book is written as a witness as to what can go wrong with 'medicine' in the last decade of the 20th century as it is currently practised and made available to the population....When conventional medicine doesn't seem to help then other alternatives become attractive, but what happens when they are mixed? Because so little is generally understood about this, the answer is perhaps nobody knows....Unfortunately the side effects of modern medicine can be worse than the affliction. In Ruth's case a simple eye infection gave rise to becoming vulnerable to additional afflictions which were not immediately understood and the wrong curres were offered leading to a rapidly worsening situation." From the back cover: "This is the story of Ruth's personal battle over several years to regain her health. The battle was successful - eventually - but many lessons were learnt the hard way on the journey."
