Prescription for Natural Cures - A Self-Care Guide for Treating Health Problems with Natural Remedies Including Diet and Nutrition, Nutritional Supplements, Bodywork, and More (Electronic book text)

The new natural health bible from the coauthor of the 8 million--copy bestseller Prescription for Nutritional Healing

More than a decade ago, Dr. James Balch published Prescription for Nutritional Healing, the first major popular guide to the healing power of foods and nutritional supplements. Now, Dr. Balch and coauthor Dr. Mark Stengler give readers a new natural health blockbuster for the twenty-first century-a book that offers a comprehensive menu of alternative remedies for almost 200 common ailments, from acne and back pain to stroke and varicose veins. Like Prescription for Nutritional Healing, Prescription for Natural Cures offers authoritative guidance on healing foods and nutritional supplements. But unlike Dr. Balch's earlier book, it also provides readers with a complete natural Rx for each illness or condition-an action plan that may include herbal medicine, homeopathy, aromatherapy, Chinese medicine, hydrotherapy, bodywork, and other natural cures in addition to dietary changes and supplements. With easy-to-understand discussions of the symptoms and root causes of each health problem, guidance on recommended lab tests, accessible descriptions of each natural remedy, and a resource guide to holistic practitioners, this breakthrough book will be an indispensable resource for anyone who wants to get better, naturally.
