Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Booklist
This adequate and comprehensive look at natural health methods and disease prevention suffers from a too-chatty writing style and a confusing format, which its promised index should help alleviate. However, the information is sound and often documented, and Aesoph, a naturopath, recognizes the difficulty in making a lot of health changes at once. Following two introductory chapters on the general principles of becoming and staying healthy, a dozen chapters cover such topics as the immune system, liver support, skin care, and stress relief. Of most value is part 2, which presents natural remedies for 30 common ailments, including prevention, homeopathic remedies, food and nutrition, herbs, lifestyle factors, and warning signs. The author's 107 health hints appear sequentially throughout the entire text. A few recipes and exercises dot the text; see and see also references help tie together related subjects. Appendixes include a too-brief listing of the actions of 108 herbs, an excellent review of 60 common homeopathic remedies, a short resource list, and questions to ask practitioners. A mixed bag in a crowded field. Penny Spokes

Wake up to a healthier, livelier YOU,
By Karina A. Suarez "Karina A. Fogliani-Ahmed" (Walt Disney World, USA) - See all my reviews (VINE VOICE) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Your Natural Health Makeover (Paperback)
After three and a half years of both full time work and study I could feel my natural defenses weakening, as well as my fitness level, and even my libido. Now that education is over - at least momentarily - I picked up a book from my personal library that I have had for a while but never got the chance to really absorb and follow. Dr. Laurie Aesoph guides us in this natural guide to enhanced well-being as if taking us by the hand.
"A beauty makeover may make you look more attractive, but only a Natural Health Makeover does the job in depth" (page 3). With these words, Dr. Aesoph embarks on a journey of guidance and suggestions to make us feel better on all levels, from attaining top muscle tone to improving circulation, enjoying a healthy sex life and maintaining our "little grey cells", like Agatha Christie's Poirot would say, in top shape. The first chapters offer an overview of the book's approach, including a table / chart for a before and after comparison. In it, the reader is to note the areas of concern, along with the intensity and frequency of their occurrence. I find this to be a very useful tool, as it really helps track improvement. What I find unique and most enticing about the book is that it is not just a compendium of suggestions for treatment of ailments but for lifestyle options as well. For instance, Dr. Aesoph includes several cooking recipes, geared to enhance particular areas of the body, such as the hearty Ruby Beet Soup, for a sluggish liver on cold winter nights, or the very green Parsley Paisley Salad, with deep cleansing properties, and the enlightening Blueberry Eye Pie, which, to paraphrase Dr. Aesoph, will "help us see things clearer", as blueberries are an excellent food to maintain healthy eyesight. There are also five appendixes and an extensive list of references in the back, including herbs used in naturopathic medicine, practitioners, publications and resources. This is a wonderful book that includes treatments for almost any ailment that can be prepared and administered at home, enticing us to eat, breathe and live healthy in almost every page of its writing. Wisely, Dr. Aesoph cautions against drastic changes, inviting the reader to practice the suggested techniques and recipes gradually. Personally, I have started about three weeks ago using several of the suggestions and I can already notice a change, particularly in my circulatory system (I tend to have bad circulation, especially in my legs). I can hardly wait till fall comes and it is time to compare my before and after, which I feel, God willing, should certainly be an improvement.

Great book!!,
This review is from: Your Natural Health Makeover (Paperback)
I had over 250 books on health, nutrition, and fitness. I threw them all out except two, this and "What Would Jesus Eat?" THis book provides great advice and is just wonderful to read and reference. I love it! Dr. Aesoph has a great writing style and the book is very well structured. With the other book I mentioned, I used this information to lose 200 pounds and vitalize my health.
I highly recommend this to anyone!
