Customer Reviews

A great health guide. Informative and practical
I was very impressed by the chapter about physical activities and related effects on health in general.

The author explains in a systematic manner the positive and negative types of physical exercise and training.
I have tremendously enjoyed the therapeutic techniques included in this book, especially those that improve the quality of our health.
As a matter of fact, I began to use some of these techniques, and already I feel much better.

A superb book, and a great health guide.

Excellent and Thorough
This is the most complete book I've seen on the subject of natural medicines. It is comprehensive and extremely well written. I haven't been able to put it down and found myself studying it. I have learned so much it may bring me out of the natural medicine novice category. Natural Health, Natural Medicine: The Complete Guide to Wellness and Self-Care for Optimum Health

Another great gift
