Visual Encyclopedia of Natural Healing: A Step-By-Step Pictorial Guide to Solving 100 Everyday Health Problems

This self-care encyclopedia presents natural healing techniques in a step-by-step format for a variety of common complaints and ailments, from allergies to wrinkles. Its more than 700 illustrations--of massage and acupressure techniques, the Heimlich maneuver, therapeutic exercises, breast self-examination, et al.--are its chief attraction. As Rodale publications are medically "centrist" these days, this volume is well researched and steers clear of controversy. Though primarily for home use, it is also suitable for public libraries and collections in consumer health, patient education, and alternative medicine.
