Anyone who relies on medication often gets a chill down their spine just reading the package insert. The mere listing of possible unwanted side effects even stops some patients from taking the medicines prescribed by their doctor.
Although not all side effects actually occur in everyone, fatigue, gastrointestinal complaints or muscle and joint pain can significantly reduce the quality of life of those affected. Herbs are particularly suitable in combination with some targeted changes in lifestyle and diet to supplement the necessary conventional medical treatment and alleviate its negative effects.
The guide contains valuable information that can be individually compiled according to a modular principle:
- Effective self-help for the most common side effects
- Medicinal herbs, nutritional recommendations, breathing and relaxation techniques, practical tips for lifestyle, helpful checklists and much more
- Over 50 herbal short portraits with dosage, preparation and possible contraindications
Use the knowledge of alternative medicine to support the use of medicines!
