Heal the natural way...

This book has natural remedies for minor ailments (it specifically mentions that if symptoms are severe or persist over an extended period of time you should see a doctor). I have found it very helpful (I figured in the least it can't hurt me). This book is split into 3 parts. Part I: This part contains an overview of what natural healing is and then gives descriptions of various methods used in natural healing (ex. acupressure, aromatherapy, homeopathy, hydrotherapy, yoga). Part II: This book lists many ailments in alphabetical order. It is easy to look them up because they are written as an encyclopedia style reference. Some problems included are: acre, bad breath, colds, heartburn, jet lag, rashes, and warts. This part also includes illustrations of things such as massage and acupressure so that it is easy to lacate the areas yourself. Part III: This part lists various resources in case the reader is interested in looking up more information or some organizations that deal with natural healing. I would recomend this book for anyone who doesn't know much about natural healing but likes to try and heal themselves before seeing a medical doctor.

A fantastically thurough reference!

This is the best of the best. It tells you when to see an orthodox doctor, and gives you MANY choices in therapy options for all medical concerns. It's an all-inclusive guide to ALL alternative health methods, from Acupressure and Ayurveda to Sound Therapy and Yoga. I refer to it daily, and learn something new each time.

This book is a break-through in natual healing

When I first heard about this book, I knew this was the book that I had been looking for. This book looks at alternatives that the medical society would absolutely flip over. Under each listed health problem there is a selection of treatments. Some treatments deal with herbal therapy, vitamin and mineral therapy, massage, and juice therapy just to mention a few. These treatments have been used throughout the history of the mankind, and have a proven track record. Part I - Understanding the Methods of Nautural Healing gives an overview of the different methods. I found this a great help, it has led me towards my journey to a more healthy and productive life. The part about Herbal therapy has been the most helpful, all of the herbs that are written about and there effects are right on target. I have researched these herbs and have found that the write-ups about them are consistent with other resource documents. I believe this book is the start of a huge movement in the world to look to ourselves and natural alternatives to healing. The mind and its natural healing abilities is our best weapon to control disease and to facilitate healing. If you are interested in the powers of yourself, food, and mother nature to heal you, all I can say is this is the book for you.
