Nature's Remedies for Stress and Fatigue: Recovering from Burnout
Medical herbalist Jo Dunbar follows up her Secrets From a Herbalist's Garden with this up-to-date look at stress, how it makes us feel diminished and exhausted and simple holistic remedies that we can all use to feel better.
Things have changed in the last few years and countless people are crippled by stress and anxiety. The effects of stress on our health can lead to devastating long-term illnesses such as adrenal fatigue and chronic fatigue syndrome. More recently, there has also been the complex condition known as long Covid, which we are steadily learning more about.
Many people feel completely burnt out but do not understand how this affects their body or what they can do about it. Unfortunately, mainstream medicine has almost nothing to offer the person who wakes up feeling exhausted and unable to cope with the smallest stress. Having helped people for more than 20 years to recover from these illnesses, Jo Dunbar passes on her knowledge and experience in this accessible book.
Her healing approach involves nutrition, herbs, exercises, meditation and lifestyle changes. It's a holistic rounded approach but we are empowered to adapt it to our own needs. Jo also doesn't reject mainstream medicine out of hand and she is well-versed in all the current developments and research.

March 30, 2025To begin, I found it general and already known. As the book progressed, it gave some partially useful information and did have interesting reflections on health conditions and medical information. It's not necessarily new information, but a compilation of pieces which may be aiding some people. I tried to go over it a second time in case I was missing some observations, but I don't think it's something I'd read again.

Easy to understand advice on what to do to reduce fatigue, and how and why each suggestio will help you. A holistic approach to the causes and symptoms, rather than just focusing on individual symptoms.

Didn't find anything useful for me but I have already read tons of books on the topic
