I got this book from my grandma and I really liked it. I'm going to try eating more apple cider vinegar and honey and see what happens with sinuses. It seems a little crazy, but I prefer natural cures when possible.
I love this reference book. Being a few years-Vermonter I can easily "digest" the cider vinegar and honey prescription for just about anything. Its a great testament to the rural folk doctors and their intuitive practices utilizing the ways that nature (animals and plants) remain health and deal with illness.
