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!

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.

I just finished using this book & it is quite helpful. There are useful color pictures of herbs and instructions are easy to follow. There are sections on Ayurveda, using fresh flowers etc.. Learned alot of tips from Dr. Shealy's illustrated book. It is like a coffee table bk. but it is worth buying just for the beautiful way that it looks. He tells you about the history of different alternative ways of treating illnesses. There are references at the back of the book, so you can check out other places of therapy. Good bk.

This book is so easy to use and understand. It presents each item individually and also has a section that covers most problems that people face from upset stomachs to headaches to Cancer. Obviosly some remedies seem far fetched but the vitamin section makes good sense and gives you much more information then the vitamin bottles at the store!

This book is very detailed and to the point. It has talked about different methods of alternative medicines (traditional, Chinese, Ayurveda etc.). The book is categorized based on most common health symptoms and then discussed how they are treated based on different methods. I love how they used picture illustration (not hand drawn) for each of the ingredient. Overall, it's a good book to have for common everyday household medicine. If you wish to treat them naturally. Even my physician father is impressed by this.

I have this book in Alaska, and could not live without it here. It is the best; giving information on traditional Chinese medicine, as well as things you might have in your spice cabinet.

I received this book in great condition and in just about a weeks time. This book is packed full of information that I've never heard of before. I rigorously research different herbs daily so you can imagine how pleased this book has made me.

I had this book and it was accidentally damaged by a water leak. Replacing it was a priority for me since I have trouble taking pharmaceuticals. I am very happy to have found it and it came on time and in excellent condition - just as the merchant advertised it!
