Prescription for Nutritional Healing: The A-to-Z Guide to Supplements – Phyllis A. Balch, CNC

Your Portable Reference Guide to Vitamins, Minerals, Medicinal Herbs, and Natural Supplements

Explore the world of nutritional healing, herbal medicine, and natural supplements with Prescription for Nutritional Healing: The A-to-Z Guide to Supplements by renowned nutritional counselor Phyllis A. Balch.

Adapted from the bestselling Prescription for Nutritional Healing, Fifth Edition, this convenient, pocket-sized reference guide brings essential information about vitamins, minerals, medicinal herbs, and dietary supplements into one easy-to-use resource.

Unlike the comprehensive original, which focuses heavily on health conditions and natural treatment approaches, this companion guide organizes information alphabetically, allowing readers to quickly research individual nutrients, botanical remedies, and supplements.

Whether you're studying herbal medicine, comparing nutritional supplements, or expanding your understanding of holistic health, this book provides a practical foundation for making informed wellness decisions.

What You'll Discover

• A-to-Z Supplement Reference: Explore commonly used vitamins, minerals, amino acids, enzymes, medicinal herbs, and nutritional supplements.
• Vitamins & Minerals: Learn about essential nutrients, including vitamins B12, D, and E, their biological functions, and their roles in maintaining health.
• Medicinal Herbs & Botanical Remedies: Research traditional uses and nutritional applications of herbs such as turmeric, valerian, saw palmetto, St. John's wort, licorice, and kava kava.
• Supplement Benefits & Considerations: Explore the properties, potential benefits, and important considerations associated with individual nutritional supplements.
• Natural & Preventive Wellness: Discover how herbs, nutrition, and complementary therapies have been incorporated into holistic health practices.
• Convenient Reference Format: Quickly locate information without searching through a larger, condition-focused textbook.

🌿 Herbalist's Note

An excellent companion to one of my all-time favorite natural health reference books!

I consider the full Prescription for Nutritional Healing an essential resource for serious herbal studies, particularly because of its detailed breakdown of health conditions and the nutritional, herbal, and lifestyle approaches associated with them.

The A-to-Z Guide to Supplements takes a different approach, focusing on the individual vitamins, minerals, herbs, and supplements themselves.

I appreciate the importance of studying both sides of herbal medicine: understanding the health concerns we're addressing and understanding the botanical and nutritional tools available to us.

I recommend pairing this guide with the complete Prescription for Nutritional Healing for a more well-rounded herbal reference library. It's especially useful for beginners learning about individual supplements and experienced herbalists who appreciate an accessible quick-reference guide.
