This review is from: Folk Remedies from Around the World: An International Collection of Time-Honored, All Natural Treatments for Common Ailments (Paperback)

Folk Remedies From Around the World provides folk remedies not from solely American sources, but from folk cultures around the world, offering something different to those interested in more than Western medicine alone. Some of the comments and information may prove controversial to many - such as the comments against chemotherapy for treating cancer - but the remedies are specific and useful.
