This book is a keeper because you can read it from time to time to see what is recommended to do when something ails you. I love the index because you don't have to do a blind search. The information seems reliable. To put things in perspective, even though I would recommend this book as a gift for a newly-wed couple, I would also recommend it to anyone. I am 54 years old and have been married for 30 years. I found quite a bit of information that was useful and new to me. I rarely keep hard-back books in my house due to clutter, but this is one that I will keep. Both my husband and I plan to use it as a resource when we are avoiding medication or medication is not working.

What I like about this book is that it doesn't claim that all natural remedies are better than modern medicine, it says which old wives' cures work and which don't (and frequently why), it warns you of dangerous remedies while informing you of useful or harmless ones, and it tells you when your situation has gone too far and you need to go see a doctor. Basically, while it has lots & lots of useful and effective home remedies, it is safer and more realistic than some home remedy books I've seen.

Very practical tips to solve daily health problems

Would you like to save money on household items ?
If so, this book is perfect for you. It describes how red wine
can benefit the daily diet, if used sparingly. In addition, the authors caution to avoid caffeine at bedtime. The alternative uses of vitamins and herbs are described in great detail. For instance, Aloe is used for skin care and Chamomile is utilized to promote a healthy digestive tract. This volume has a considerable body of good advice on almost anything dealing with household health and management. It is a solid value for the price charged.

I would buy this book. It lists doable, simple things I can do to help whatever is going on and more important for me, why it works. It lists several options and studies that have been done on the matter. Love it!!!
