Product Description
A comprehensive and fully illustrated reference work encompassing the full range of alternative and natural remedies for the prevention, treatment and cure of common ailments.Amazon.com Review
This is an excellent reference book for alternative medicine, whether you’re searching for a specific therapy to follow or you just want to view all the possible treatments for a specific ailment. The first half of the book breaks down alternative medicine into various schools of philosophy such as Ayurveda, Chinese herbal medicine, aromatherapy, and homeopathy. Each chapter provides a history of how the therapy developed, an illustrated explanation of the most common methods of treatment, advice on finding a qualified practitioner, and an exhaustive introduction to the therapy’s most prominent herbs or other medicinal sources. These sections instruct you on how to use each type of herb or substance while offering cross-references to other therapies. For example, in the Chinese herbal chapter under ren shen, commonly known as ginseng, it not only tells you what to use it for and how, but also warns against side effects and refers you to similar uses in the herbalism chapter. The second half of the encyclopedia is divided into general areas, such as skin or respiratory problems, which are further broken down into individual ailments. If you want only one book to consult for your natural and alternative medical needs, this is among the most comprehensive and well written.

I have bought many books on alternative medical remedies, but this was one was by far the best. The book is well laid out, easy to read and understand and has easy to follow instructions. It contains remedies from Chinese Herbal, Traditional, Homeopathy, Aromatherapy and even Folk! I have found many uses for this book and already have dog eared pages! This is a definite must-have for anyone interested in alternative remedies and especially for someone building a medical library – you’ll just be amazed!

An excellent natural healing reference book. Tons of cross references. So easy to follow. Beautiful clear layout. Covers just about everything. Tells how to do it yourself in many cases. Includes Ayurveda, chinese medicine, flower remedies, herbs, home remedies, aromatherapy, vitamin therapy and homeopathy.

I thoroughly enjoy using this book. It is not only full of information, but visually appealing and easy to read–unlike many medical reference books. Full of color photos of the plants and herbs used so you can find what you need in your own backgarden or if you live in a foreign country and don’t know the local name for the plant/herb in question (like me)… full of remedies from many different natural healing methods (ie, 10+ different remedies for diahrea depending on the very specific accompanying symptoms). Clear instructions with photos on how to make tinctures, infusions, etc. I cannot endorse this book enough.

This book incorporates everything from homeopathy, vitamins & minerals, food, acupuncture, dosage, everything. There is really no need for any other book. I refer to it regularly. The index makes it very easy to locate exactly what you’re looking for quickly. Highly recommend if you are interested in natural remedies.

Not only does this book cover a vast array of ailments and treatments, it also does this with chronology, great structure and an inviting style.
The photography is clear and the people don’t all look like super models or over actors!
All the major alternate diciplines are here and the sections are inviting and easy to follow.
This would be a valuable student tool, a great book for the interested and should (in an ideal world) be in every Doctor’s Surgery.
