4.0 out of 5 stars
Good compendium of natural cures for ailments,
By Joanna Daneman (Middletown, DE USA) - See all my reviews (TOP 10 REVIEWER) (VINE VOICE) (COMMUNITY FORUM 04) (HALL OF FAME REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Ancient Healing Secrets: Pracitical Cures from Egypt, China, India, South America, Russia, Sandinavia, and More (Hardcover)
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.
