Health

Using materials that are often inexpensive and readily available, this book will help you to help yourself, without recourse to expensive drugs and visits to the doctor. It provides information on the most appropriate, practical and sound health suggestions available, while at the same time ensuring 'first do no harm'. While we owe a lot to modern-day medicine, there is a place in our lives for tried-and true traditional home remedies. Many remedies were developed out of need - there were no alternatives - while nowadays people turn to these treatments out of a desire to be self-sufficient. From bee stings to burns, heat rash to hiccups, warts to wrinkles, here are medically approved treatments for more than 100 health problems, with remedies that are easy, safe, clever and effective.
