3.0 out of 5 stars Not very comprehensive, and poorly organised, May 18, 2000

This review is from: Natural Healing for Babies and Children (Paperback)

I was very disappointed in this book. Many of the herbs were hard to obtain or prepare, and I live in a very crunchy place. I found the format to be hard to use and not very relevent. Maybe it's because I have healthy kids, but whenever I needed information, it wasn't there! I found the information on the illnesses and conditions to be very minimal.

"Smart Medicine for a Healthier Child" is much more thorough, comprehensive and information rich. Buy Aviva's book only if you really like her writing style or she has information on some herbs that no one else does.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect reference, December 7, 2003

This review is from: Natural Healing for Babies and Children (Paperback)

I have referred to this book for over seven years. It has accompanied me to Asia and Europe. Though my children are typically healthy Avia's advice and recommendations have helped on numerous occasions and two emergency situations. I especially like that each section has advice on "when to seek medical care." It is refreshing to read a natural health reference that does not bash the medical model of treatment but instead recognizes the approaches though different can be compatible. I have also applied the advice in this book to adults with good results.

The illnesses and treatments that are covered are very good, practical and down to earth. It really helps to have access to a good supply of herbs and tinctures to use this book. My daughter likes all of the herbs I have used with her, so there is no problem getting her to take her 'medicine.' I have found a few common kid illnesses lacking and hope the author comes out with a more comprehensive book on treating children at some point
