Customer Reviews

An excellent book on Holisitic and Integrative Health

This is one of the few books that deals with Health and Wellness issues in light of one's astrological chart. Ronnie Gale Dreyer takes on the challenge of compiling a user-friendly book that both novice and professional astrologers can appreciate, with finesse and ease.While I agree with other people's reviews of the book in terms of the omission of a lot of information, I am all the more happy that this book even exsists without being a dull heavy tomb of work.Overall a great read and very informative, recommended for those interested in Astrology and Health Care or Alternative Medicine.

Excellent synthesis of astrology and holistic approaches...

I really like this book. Dreyer has given us a book which delineates the affects that our astrological sun signs have on our health and well-being, on several levels. She explains the various influences of the planets (and does cover rising and moon signs a bit), and coordinates them with suggestions for shoring up areas of weakness and dealing from strengths.I especially like her inclusion of the East Indian Ayurvedic doshas (there are three, Pita, Vatta, and Kapha) and how they correlate with the western astrological information. She gives practical suggestions on diet, exercise, meditation, herbs, supplements, and behavioral modifications to help bring yourself into better balance and good health. An excellent resource!

Healing Signs

This is an excellent book for anyone interested in healing techniques,astrology, or both. For astrological neophytes, this is the sort of book that will probably send people scurrying out to buy more books. For more advanced astrologers there is also some interesting and useful information, but this IS a Sun Sign book. If you don't like Sun Sign books,too bad. You'll miss out on a good book! I found the information on aromatherapy, gem therapy, and color thereapy interesting. There were also a lot of little tips and techniques for dealing with headaches, weight gain, panic attacks and more. I am not a holistic health expert, but the book appears to be well-researched, with numerous listings of health, healing, and astrology books and resources. Not everyone can write good Sun Sign material. Ronnie Dreyer has managed to write an excellent Sun Sign book that would be a terrific introduction to astrology. Check it out!
