About this title

Review:

The bestselling author of Hypericum & Depression has compiled here the latest dosage information on kava kava, valerian root, ginkgo, ginseng, liquorice root, milk thistle, and many other natural remedies for anxiety, nervousness, and insomnia. It's more than a listing of suggested herbs, though, and includes a natural self-healing programme of mental and physical exercises meant to reduce stress and ease anxiety, tension, and anger and their concomitant physical manifestations: rapid heartbeat, sweating, hyperventilation, dizziness, panic attacks, cigarette cravings and more. Bloomfield encourages readers to try breathing exercises, visualization, meditation, music therapy, and anger therapy, and includes an extensive list of Internet resources, mental health associations, and self-help groups. --Erica Jorgensen

Have you been feeling anxious and stressed? Do you have difficulty falling into a deep, natural sleep?

There is no need to suffer in silence, or take synthetic, often addictive drugs. St John's wort, valerian, kava-kava and other herbs are often as effective in treating anxiety and insomnia as prescription tranquilizers, anti-depressants and sleeping pills. They also have far fewer side-effects and are non-addictive.

In this breakthrough guide, alternative medicine pioneer Dr Harold Bloomfield provides a safe, natural and medically proven programme for recovery. It includes:
· the causes of anxiety and stress, what the signs and symptoms are and when treatment is necessary
· how herbal medicines are revolutionizing the treatment of anxiety, depression and insomnia
· what the most effective herbs are and how they can help you
· lifestyle changes to minimize stress and maximize performance
· practical exercises to help you evaluate and heal your anxiety.
