Folk Remedies That Work : By Joan and Lydia Wilen, Authors of Chicken Soup & Other Folk Remedies

Rating:
Summary: Excellent little resource for what ails you!
Review: This is a small powerhouse of excellent information not only about different ailments, but also some remedies to help get you back to feeling yourself again. The book contains over 70 different chapters that range from alcoholism to weight loss. Each chapter begins with a short discussion about the problem itself, often citing other resources for more information, prevention of the problem, then discusses all the different steps you can take to feel better -- ranging from body positioning and application of heat or cold, right through foods and herbs you can use to help alleviate symptoms. The foods and herbs are all readily available, easy to find, real world items. No weird stuff here. This book even has a chapter titled: Household Problems which covers natural air pollution fighters (specific plants), dusting tips, fireplace alerts, oven cleaning tips, and finally decorating with color for a more soothing feel for your home. This is a great book to refer to time and time again -- when a problem strikes you can find the home remedy for it at the flick of just a few pages. It's an excellent little resource for what ails you!
