You will find more information packed in here than you would in five traditional childcare books. Aviva fills the pages with not only commonsense but easy-to-read-and-understand remedies for a wide array of childhood illnesses and complaints. She also includes a lot of information for expecting moms that are healthy, effective words of wisdom. If you are familiar with using herbals and a hands-on approach to illness, then this book is a refreshing compilation of information that will result in you nodding your head in agreement. It is also wonderful to have all the different illnesses and remedies in one place. No more searching for that stray note or book with one quick blurb about a possible remedy for this or that. If, on the other hand, you are not familiar with using anything but a regular doctor or over-the-counter medicine for every illness, this book will be comforting for you as well. It is not an anti-doctor approach at all; in fact there are certain areas in which Aviva mentions that using a doctor is necessary. However, she also includes things that the parent can do to accompany the doctor's techniques. Everything in this entire book is very empowering to parents and women who are expecting. Often, the first thing we are told to turn to is an over-the-counter med or a quick trip to the doctor's office, and we are left feeling helpless to comfort our children. Aviva stresses how important and powerful the mere touch of a parent is in the healing of a child, and she supports the idea that there is emotional healing to be done as well as physical healing for any illness. The herb list is extensive and there are many easy-to-follow directions for tonics, teas, washes and other healing ideas that can be made at home, even by a sleep-deprived parent. The remedies do not involve a lot of searching for hard-to-find ingredients or supplies. Each remedy is simple and starts with a non-invasive approach. I recommend this book for any expecting couple, new or experienced parent. You will find yourself turning to it again and again .

I was given this book as a gift and it certainly has been one! I have not found another herbal book that measures up to this one. Aviva's simple and beautiful explainations, instructions, and information are so welcome and refreshing.

If you're looking for a herbal/wholistic health book for your family THIS is the one you want.

This book has lots of great usefull information that crossreferences beautifully. I highly reccomend it to anyone with small children or a spouse that just acts like one. This definitive guide illustrates many helpful applications for all times in a child's life, as well as pregnancy, post partum and beyond. You NEED this book.

After using this book for several months along with other reference books, I have ordered an additional copy to give away. As a new parent, this book is very valuable when seeking natural advice.

This is a great book for parents to have. I got it for my sister in law. It is high time that parents stop stuffing their kids full of poisonous vaccines and terrible antibiotics. They wonder why they are sick all the time- not to mention the processed foods. This book will help parents straighten out their path and stop harming their kids.
