2 total works
Ninety per cent of adults have had a headache at some time in their lives. Almost twenty per cent suffer from chronic headaches, with migraines comprising eight per cent of these. Headaches are responsible for more visits to the GP - and for more drugs bought - than any other condition. Where this conventional approach seems not to be working, the world of alternative health seems to have excelled. 'Headaches: The CommonSense Approach' helps the reader become their own 'headache detective'. Thoroughly researched and written in an accessible style, Pat Thomas discusses who gets headaches and why. She helps track down their cause and covers in detail the solutions, from stress relief and diet to the various alternative remedies available such as herbs, aromatherapy, massage, acupuncture and hypnotherapy. Including helpful charts, useful addresses and further reading, this book itself will become a welcome relief for the many sufferers.

Among women there used to be a 'common' sense of what was appropriate, effective and safe in pregnancy and birth. Today, common sense has given way to expert opinion. Pat Thomas's excellent guide hopes to restore a little balance. It will provide women with the resources they need not only to cope with, but to enjoy, their pregnancy. The author treats pregnancy as a state of health, suggesting practical guidelines for good diet and gentle exercises while offering sensible advice for common complaints that may occur. She also deals with the mother's emotional wellbeing both during and after pregnancy and looks sympathetically at the role of the man and how it can be enhanced to the benefit of both parents. Written in a supportive and easy style, the book includes helpful nutritional, useful addresses and further reading.
