An easy-to-read guide to alternative health care. Written for lay persons by lay persons, it reveals the health benefits of hundreds of natural ingredients from aloe vera to zinc, incorporating handy tips and hints plus a peek at some old wives' tales. In a straightforward A to Z layout, the authors guide the reader through the often confusing maze of alternative medicine, explaining not only the symptoms of ailments and how to prevent them, but also the foods and remedies that can offer relief. The book also features glossaries, recipes, instructions on how to make your own tinctures, lotions, poultices and teas, plus a handy list of stockists for those ingredients you can't buy that easily.
