Some remedies, such as changing your diet to deal with heartburn or adapting your home environment to cope with chronic pain, may seem like common sense. You may have questions about when to apply heat or cold to injuries, what helps relieve the itch of an insect bite, or whether certain herbs, vitamins or minerals are really effective against the common cold or insomnia. You'll find these answers and more in Mayo Clinic Book of Home Remedies.
In situations involving your health or the health of your family, the same questions typically arise: What actions can I take that are immediate, safe and effective? When should I contact my doctor? What symptoms signal an emergency? Mayo Clinic Book of Home Remedies clearly defines these questions
with regard to your health concerns and guides you to choose the appropriate and most effective response.

The beautiful cover, overall format, the quality of its paper as well as its graphics are outstanding. No
less impressive is the expected professional reputations of its writers. However you should never judge a book
by its cover as the saying goes and in this case all the aforementioned qualities are in play. I have to
state that I am not even an M.D. I am just a another reader in search of the Mayo Clinic wisdom. At the end, I could not find a modicum of personal satisfaction. I have not read the entire book, Thanks God. I read those chapters devoted to special topics of relevance to me. For the most part, what I read in those chapters I had already known from my medical readings through the years. I did find a few ideas and suggestions that were new to me or interesting to remember yet I would not have bought this book for this reason alone. Mine is just an opinion with very little details, I know. Keep in mind I am just a common reader, another regular patient. To conclude, this book requires more detailed descriptions, explanations, suggestions of the topics in question without becoming medical encyclopaedia or perhaps this is the reason that I don`t feel comfortable with this volume. I am hoping that it will get a much better review than mine. N.Alvarez
The Title says HOME Remedies, so with this book being done by the Mayo clinic, and it shows items that you can use from your home, or supplements and the title I expected actual remedies.
I will list a few of the things in the book to explain my disappointment.
Sprains is listed in the book - Their advice? RICE - Rest, ice, compress, elevate I mean this is extremely basic 1st aid that I would think most would know. There was absolutely no insight into some novel way to handle such a common thing.
Indigestion - Eat smaller more frequent meals, avoid triggers, maintain healthy weight, exercise, manage stress, reconsider meds, drink herbal tea with peppermint. Anyone that has been diagnosed with this, knows those VERY basic things. But I expected to see, try eating Ginger as it really helps settle the stomach. I wanted to hear about natural remedies that could be used at home to resolve this.
Eczema - Identify and avoid triggers, apply anti-itch cream, avoid scratching, use mild soaps and moisturize skin, use a humidifier......
Again anyone that has this diagnosis knows these very basic things. A dermatologist would clearly say to take warm, but not hot shower, and to put a cream on while your skin is still moist....
There are a FEW things that do list supplements or something that you can do to help. You may see drink tea or take B vitamins or something sprinkled here and there but overall this book doesn't really offer anything unique.
Mostly I needed to purchase since I only have internet access at work and kids usually get sick at 3:00am.
A lot of readers may want home remedies that are not too different from folk medicine. This book is not for you. This is a very well-designed, interesting book that offers updated health-care information about health problems that can typically be treated at home.
If you live in a hurricane zone as I do, I think this book would be a useful addition to one's emergency kit.
this book, at the very least, has the capacity to put your mind at ease or
realize that it's time to see the doc or change some daily habits.
