Good compendium of natural cures for ailments

This is a good compilation of natural remedies collected from around the world. The book is organized by a list of common complaints (digestive disorders, women's complaints, simple wounds, for example) and then there is a list of various healing treatments in the tradition of various peoples, from the British Isles to the ancient Egyptians. So the book is interesting to read from a cultural standpoint (how do different cultures treat the same ailment) or from the standpoint of different herbal or massage remedies for various problems. Unusual herbal remedy book, in this regard, and fascinating reading.

Humble ingredients such as dandelions, fennel seeds, cider vinegar and yogurt, among many others, can help you improve your health following the recipes in this book. Moreover, each remedy is accompanied with a small bit of lore. This book also includes the "Four Thieves' Vinegar", a secret recipe that dates back to the age of the Black Death, a true diamond.This book is a treasure chest, filled with little secrets to heal and improve one's body and spirit alike.
