Holistic Health by Pamela Higdon

Holistic Health by Pamela Higdon

Birds are ideal subjects for holistic care. They are especially sensitive to emotional and physical stresses. Based on what we have learned from wild birds and studies completed in the last 10-20 years, this book will help you provide your bird with a longer, healthier life. Each beautifully illustrated chapter is written from two viewpoints, one from the leading holistic avian veterinarian and the other from a bird owner's viewpoint. Holistic care is defined and the value of this type of care in relation to conventional western medicine is discussed. Other interesting topics include the physical bird, the emotional bird, nutrition and special holistic therapies.

He is a past president of the Association of Avian Veterinarians, a Certified Veterinary Acupuncturist, a former columnist for Natural Pet Magazine, and a member of the Natural Pet Products Association's Board of Directors.

He presently serves on the American Holistic Veterinary Medical Association's Board of Directors as Chairman of the Publications Committee and Editor-in-Chief of the AHVMA Journal.
