Perhaps I was misled by the title, but my first thought was the book was very thin for a dictionary- less than 100 pages. If you are looking for an A-Z LIST of aliments by sign, then you might like to add this book to your library. Apparently the explanation of the signs and planets in medical astrology are in her first book. Yeast is a condition referred to Pisces (Yeast: Pisces) yet in her description of Venus, she mentions sugar (something I knew). How did she come up with yeast for Pisces? This book will not help you with that question.

I bought the book because I had Bells Palsy and hoped to learn about the planets and aspects involved. It's under the B list - Bells Palsy: Aries, Uranus. That's as good as it gets. Thankfully I know that Aries causes inflammation, Uranus rules the nerves, Bells Palsy is caused from inflammation and trauma to the 7th cranial nerve which paralyzes the nerves in the face - ah, Aries governs the head. In my case Mars was square Uranus in my 1st house (how I look) the day I woke up with this condition. For someone without a background in astrology, I do not recommend this book.

Title covers exactly what the book is, a dictionary, albeit not a descriptive one so it basically encourages one to explore further. However, without it, I would have been lost looking for the relationship of certain conditions to astrology. Would have given it five stars had it been more descriptive, otherwise a great, indispensible reference book.

At first I was concerned that the book had so few pages but I find that it covers more medical conditions than I thought it would. I have found the Astrological correlations accurate. A very useful volume.
