    5.0 out of 5 stars very natural remedies, February 28, 2008
    Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
    I have read this book & enjoyed it immensely. (I just received it today.) It's quick, easy short "cures" for everyday issues. Some are obvious & some are just cute. Well done, easy to find remedies. I look forward to using this book often.
