Healing the Bodies is an informative, practical guide blending ancient methods of healing with modern natural medicine, in particular for hormonal balancing. Written after 7 years research into the endocrine system and the herbs used to help these glands and a life-time’s study of the many aspects of health and well-being on the whole body, Ruth explains how illnesses can have a profound effect on the mental, as well as the physical body, creating emotional imbalances which can lead to further physical problems.
“Pre-menstrual tension, for instance, is a physical imbalance of the female hormones yet it can affect a woman’s emotional aspect. This hormonal disorder can cause digestive upsets, fluid retention, food craving, bloating and weight gain – all physical manifestations which can and do often cause emotional distress. Doesn’t it stand to reason that an imbalance of other hormone-producing glands can cause other illnesses?”
