When it comes to drug-free therapies for treating addiction to drug and alcohol and related illnesses there's no question Chinese Herbology is arguably among the world's most effective forms of alternative medicine.

These classical prescriptions that have been used extensively in traditional Chinese medicine for treating substance abuse and addiction cover a full range of health issues from hangovers to liver cirrhosis to hepatitis B & C, to STD's. Slaying the Dragon provides alphabetical listings of specific complaints associated with addiction, describes medical terms in layperson's language, demystifies the principles of herbal treatment, provides easy-to-understand instructions for preparing the herbal teas, and multiple sources for obtaining the herbal formulas.Whether you are experienced in the use of herbal remedies or wish to help a loved one who over indulges in drugs or alcohol, this book will be highly useful addition to your health library.
