Advanced Aromatherapy: The Science Of Essential Oil Therapy by Kert Schnaubelt

This book by best-selling authors Dr Sandra Cabot and naturopath Margaret Jasinska offers proven strategies for reversing type 2 Diabetes. Australia is currently in the middle of a diabetes epidemic. When this book was originally written in 2007, one Australian was diagnosed with diabetes every 10 minutes. That figure was anticipated to double by 2020, but has already exceeded that. The good new is - a) with the right diet b) nutritional supplements and c) lifestyle changes, type 2 diabetes can actually be reversed in the majority of cases. If you follow conventional dietary recommendations for diabetes, you will likely gain weight and your blood sugar will gradually rise. This book will teach you the best way to bring your blood sugar down and lose weight. Diabetics should not follow low fat, high carbohydrate diets. All carbohydrates are digested into sugar and raise blood sugar levels. Why manage diabetes with diet and medication when you can actually reverse it? In this book you will learn:

• The importance of protein to blood sugar control and weight loss.
• The nutrients that diabetics are typically deficient in, that can lead to poor blood sugar control.
• How to reduce your risk of diabetic complications such as blindness, heart attacks, nerve damage and erectile dysfunction.
• The essential tests that all diabetics must have regularly to maintain good health.
• That a low glycaemic index diet is not enough to lose weight and reverse type 2 diabetes.
• Specific foods, herbs and nutrients that can help to reverse type 2 diabetes.

This book also contains a two-week meal plan with more than 40 recipes suitable for type 2 diabetics to lose weight and lower blood sugar levels.

Weaving together the ancient wisdom of herbalism and up-to-date scientific research on cancer, aging and nutrition, renowned medical herbalist and clinical nutritionist Donald Yance reveals how to master stress, improve energy levels, prevent degenerative disease and age gracefully with the elite herbs known as adaptogens. Yance's holistic approach, called the Eclectic Triphasic Medical System (ETMS), is based on extensive scientific research, more than 25 years of clinical practice and excellent results with thousands of patients. It centers on four interconnected groups of health tools: botanical formulations, nutritional supplements, diet and lifestyle. Defining three categories for adaptogenic herbs, he explains how formulations should combine herbs from each category to create a synergistic effect. He provides more than 60 monographs on herbs and nutritional compounds as well as custom combinations to revitalize the immune system, build cardiovascular health, protect brain function, manage weight and support cancer treatment. He explains the interplay of endocrine health, the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, thyroid function, and stress in the aging process and reveals how adaptogenic treatment begins at the cellular level with the mitochondria--the microscopic energy producers present in every living cell. Emphasizing spirituality, exercise, and diet in addition to herbal treatments and nutritional supplements, Yance's complete lifestyle program explores how to enhance energy production in the body and subdue the pro-inflammatory state that lays the groundwork for nearly every degenerative disease, taking you from merely surviving to thriving.

The European Directive on Traditional Herbal Medicinal Products provides new opportunities for herbs to be restored to their former role as popular medicines. “Traditional use” is defined under the terms of the new Directive. It is taken to mean at least 30 years of use anywhere in Europe, or 15 years in Europe if used for at least 30 years elsewhere. It is assumed that the new Directive will be formally enacted around 2009. The 30-year and 15-year periods therefore will start at 1979 and 1994 respectively. This book is the first BHMA guide to the new opportunities. In this volume are formal references to the uses of 263 European herbs that will help to meet the definition of their “traditional use”. These references are notably BHMA during the early 1970’s, and from the French government “Les Médicaments à Base de Plantes” guidelines and the German government’s Commission E monographs. Where herbs are recognised as combinations these are also listed. Other official monographs are referred to. This first volume therefore provides the most orthodox view of traditional herbal reputations. Manufacturers can use the indications provided as a guide to the labelled claims they may seek for their new medicines. Everyone else can see for themselves the wonderful resource that herbs have provided humans for centuries.
