"This impressive book addresses natural healing methods for
emotional conditions. The actions that herbs and nutritional
supplements have on brain biochemistry is explained for 18 diverse
conditions, such as insomnia, ADHD, anorexia, bipolar disorder,
multiple sclerosis, and Parkinson's Disease. There are excellent
discussions on the functioning of serotonin, GABA, and other
aspects of brain chemistry, with profiles on the most popular
remedies to enhance them. This is an authoritative, well
researched, and highly referenced book, yet the science is nicely
conveyed in laymen's terms. The recommended dosages and protocols
make this an excellent reference for both practitioners and people
seeking self-healing."-The American Herb Association
