Holistic Remedies for Common Ailments

An ailment-by-ailment book of traditional holistic and home remedies, written in plain language. Look up what's ailing you — colds, sore throat, stomach troubles, headaches, skin troubles, aches, sleep, ears and sinuses, mouth and tooth, children's troubles — and find the old remedies folks have used, what each one became in today's medicine, and what you can still get your hands on now. Includes a full appendix of salve recipes you can make at home with local plants, with complete cooking steps. These are comfort measures, not cures, and every chapter tells you when to get real help. By Okey and Susan Barker.
