The Endnotes section includes extensive bibliographic references under the aforementioned conditions from A to Z. This valuable reference work concludes with an index.

Consumer seeking a solid home health guide to natural remedies will find here a virtual 'bible' of information from how to treat burns and cramps to handling a toothache or nail problems.

This book is somewhat helpful. I'm not into ess. oils so that part does not help me. Alot of information that I didn't know, what to eat and do to for treatment. Fast Shipping.
