Health And Healing The Natural WayNatural Remediesore and more people today are choosing to take greater responsibility for their own health rather than relying on the doctor to step in with a cure when something goes wrong. We now recognise that we can influence our health by making an improvement in lifestyle - a better diet, more exercise and reduced stress. People are also becoming increasingly aware that there are other healing methods - some new, others very ancient - that can help prevent illness or be used as a complement to orthodox medicine. The series Health and Healing the Natural Way will help you to make your own health choices by giving you clear, comprehensive, straightforward and encouraging information and advice about methods of improving your health. The series explains the many different natural therapies now available - aromatherapy, herbalism, acupressure and many others - and the many circumstances in which they may be of benefit when used in conjunction with conventional medicine.The goal of Natural Remedies is to introduce readers to a wide range of popular complementary treatments, to explain the ways in which practitioners work and to give useful first aid methods by which people may safely help themselves. The book starts by explaining the principles of healing and goes on to focus on common disorders and problems, both physical and emotional, that can be treated by Western medicine and also managed or cured using a complementary approach. There are special sections devoted to the work of individual practitioners, showing what is done in a treatment or therapeutic session and examples of what you can do at home. Case studies reveal how some people have used natural methods to alleviate symptoms and restore good health. natural Remedies shows how effectively your hfe and health can be enriched by a change of attitude towards illness.
