While we appreciate the beauty of plants given as gifts and growing in our gardens, we rarely consider their power to heal. In this book the author shows how this power can be harnessed and used in healing situations - both in the now widely practised natural therapies, such as aromatherapy, herbalism and homeopathy, and in the increasingly recognised field of colour therapy. She shows how plants and herbs can be used to enhance everyday life in a variety of simple but highly effective ways - in cosmetics, mediation and home decoration. Helen Collins deals with people who are looking to improve their physical and spiritual wellbeing. She specialises in counselling, using her detailed knowledge of the obscure.

In this book I have collected together dozens of simple herbal remedies for the everyday aches and pains and woes which afflict us at one time or another. I have deliberately selected remedies with a long and proven history of safe use. I am constantly astonished by the power of these familiar, often humble plants. When our daughters have cuts and grazes to be dealt with, I dress them with a cool green Comfrey Ointment - or with a lotion made from the orange flowers of the common Marigold - knowing that pain will be soothed and healing rapid. Bedtime wakefulness and upset tummies have both alike been charmed away by Chamomile tea, colds have been nipped in the bud by a Mustard foot bath, and doses of a fiery red concoction made from - amongst other things - Cayenne, Ginger and the creamy blossoms of the Elder. There are certain symptoms, too, which could indicate a serious medical problem, and for which professional advice should be sought without delay: persistent headaches, mild but persistent fever, recurring pains in the stomach, bowels or elsewhere, blood in your urine or stools, unaccountable weight loss, chronic coughing or indigestion, vaginal bleeding between periods. I have, however, suggested remedies which can help alleviate pain and discomfort in certain serious problems, once they have been diagnosed - cystitis, colitis, hepatitis, gastric ulcers - and which can safely be taken even if you are receiving medication from your family doctor. And in the case of infectious diseases, there are simple herbal remedies which can help enormously to stimulate the body's defence mechanisms, combat infection, and rebuild health once the fever has passed. I have also suggested remedies for several painful chronic conditions - for instance, arthritis, bronchitis, skin disorders - because many of the people suffering from them, once their condition has been diagnosed by their family doctor or a specialist, are anxious to try a herbal remedy to see if it can bring the relief and improvement that modern drugs so often fail to supply. I cannot emphasise too strongly however that, while even simple herbal remedies - such as are mentioned here - can often bring about a marked improvement in such cases, a trained professional herbalist should be consulted where this is possible. Not only can he draw on a far wider range of effective herbs, with long experience and training to guide him, but like other practitioners of natural medicine, he will carefully study the patient's medical history, diet and lifestyle, rather than simply prescribe for the relief of symptoms. He can then treat the underlying disorder, aiming to restore the patient to full health.

"A rich yet accessible account of the practices, spirituality, and theology of charismatic Christianity"Helen Collins explores charismatic Christianity by focusing on seven key emphases that mark this modern renewal movement. "Collins introduces charismatic theology through biblical and doctrinal reflections on the foundational story of Pentecost and the central experiences and practices of spiritual gifts. In this way, Charismatic Christianity celebrates the theology and spirituality of charismatic and Pentecostal movements and joins them for a global theological conversation and testimony to the church living in the power of the Holy Spirit."--Wolfgang Vondey, University of Birmingham"Confessionally charismatic, as well as more broadly catholic, this book is a treasure trove of creative theological reflection and scriptural engagement. It is a gift to scholars seeking to find ways to express the dynamics of a Spirit-filled life."--Cheryl Bridges Johns, Global Pentecostal House of Study, United Theological Seminary"Collins has made a significant contribution to charismatic theology. Scholars, students, and regular church members will find much to inform their minds, warm their hearts, and shape their ecclesial practices. I commend this study and look forward to using it in my own class on the person and work of the Holy Spirit."--Rev. Mark J. Cartledge, FRSA, London School of Theology"In this valuable work, Collins provides a rich yet accessible account of the practices, spirituality, and theology of charismatic Christianity. Her explanation of the key emphases of charismatic Christianity as a substantive, mature form of Christian faith will be beneficial to charismatic Christians, to charismatic pastors and leaders, and to academic theologians."--Jon Stovell, Vineyard Churches of Canada"For those not typically called charismatic, this book offers an on-ramp for understanding, appreciation, and even joining. For charismatics, it models a mature spirituality that in turn inspires a fulsome ecclesiology. Lucid and compelling, Charismatic Christianity is a gift to the church."--Jon Coutts, Ambrose University
