There has been a great revival of interest in natural therapies, both as a recognition of their tremendous value and also as a result of a move away from some of the side-effects and impersonal approaches of allopathic medicine.
Many traditions of natural medicine extend back centuries, with an impressive accumulation of practical knowledge down the ages.
This fascinating book explores how natural therapies can be used at home, as self-help measures, for a variety of common complaints. The book focuses on aromatherapy, herbalism, homeopathy and naturopathy, which have an established tradition but also have good standards of training, clinical research data and widespread acceptance.
