Books by Robert McDowell

Robert McDowell is a trained medical/veterinary herbalist who has a busy practice in Bathurst, New South Wales, Australia. He entered full-time herbal practice in 1985, treating his patients for a range of physiological, environmental and stress-related illnesses. Through his work he has helped herbal medicine gain mainstream acceptance. While his practice dealt initially with humans, in 1991, as a result of overwhelming requests, he expanded the practice to include animals. Co-author Di Rowling is a professional graphic designer and freelance writer. She has contributed many feature articles to magazines and journals over the years - a large percentage of them to equestrian magazines. In addition, she was consulting editor, regular contributor and graphic designer for an Australian equestrian magazine for over ten years. Di has also owned and ridden horses for most of her adult life, and has for many years combined her love of horses with a fascination for the alternative therapies - in particular, herbalism and homeopathy.
