Product Description

Professional herbalist, Shonda Parker, teaches mothers what can be safely treated at home, how to treat with nutritional and botanical medicine, and when to seek professional help. Traditional medicine has given us shots, pills, and expensive treatments. Shonda provides moms with homegrown remedies that are easily available, inexpensive, and that work wonders!

As a revival of interest in natural health care occurs, this book is designed to provide a continuing education class for mothers as family health practioners. Mothers observe, evaluate, and even medicate their children on a daily basis. By nature, mothers become family health practioners, but seek other opinions when appropriate. This book will equip any mother to address her family's day-to-day health needs with confidence and is critical for every mother who is focused on raising healthy kids.

About the Author

Shonda Parker, Professional Family Herbalist and Certified Childbirth Educator, combines her previous medical assistant experience with years of practice in the Parker Home Health Unit, evaluating, diagnosing, and administering care to her five children, while seeking outside care as necessary.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent resource for novice prescribers with children, January 3, 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Mommy Diagnostics: The Naturally Healthy Family's Guide to Herbs and Whole Foods for Health (Paperback)
As a mommy of two very young children (3 and 1) and aspiring to be the mommy of more to come I find this to be a wonderful resource for diagnosing and treating all common ailments for children as well as adults. Very easy to read and understand, organized in a user-friendly manner. Very concise index which helps you to quickly find the ailment or herb you are looking for. I would highly recommend this book to anyone with small children who prefers homeopathic medicine to conventional medicine.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Theology and Balance, May 30, 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Mommy Diagnostics: The Naturally Healthy Family's Guide to Herbs and Whole Foods for Health (Paperback)
Shonda Parker's book is the first I've read on this topic with a combination of excellent theology and a balanced view regarding herbs/nutrition. It is thoroughly Christian and reminds Mommies to trust in God's sovereignty while equipping them to make educated choices for excellent care of their little blessings.

5.0 out of 5 stars Mommy Diagnostics: The Naturally Healthy Family's Guide to H, January 17, 2001
By Deborah Mraz (Kirtland, OH USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Mommy Diagnostics: The Naturally Healthy Family's Guide to Herbs and Whole Foods for Health (Paperback)
I found this book extremely helpful in guiding me to be educated and organized with my interest in herbal health for my family. Shonda presents a balanced program for helping yourself and your family, and using conventional medical advice. Most of all she provides a professional approach to someone just beginning to investigate the idea of natural health, that makes it seem normal to take care of your family in this manner.
