In this comprehensive and authoritative guide to vitamin and mineral supplements, herbs, essential oils, nutrients, and homeopathic remedies, Mark Mayell, one of the top authorities in the field of natural health, tells how you can maintain optimum vitality, strengthen mind and body, improve your spirits, and live a longer life by incorporating natural substances in your everyday routine. From the immunity-enhancing herb echinacea, which can short-circuit colds, to Rose, a mood-lifting essential oil that acts like "inhalable Prozac," this comprehensive guide offers natural alternatives to the caffeine, sleeping pills, tranquilizers, antacids, and laxatives you may be using now - alternatives that give great results without the side effects of drugs and chemicals.Organized for easy reference, Off-the-Shelf Natural Health details and demystifies the twenty most popular natural substances, including the increasingly respected Chinese medicinal mushrooms. It gives you complete information on optimal dosages and lets you know the best form - whether as a tea, a tablet, an extract, or an essential oil - in which to use the supplement. In addition, you'll also discover the brand names of products, how to order hard-to-find herbs and nutrients, and how to locate physicians and practitioners to work with you.
