Publisher's Synopsis
Many people go through life firing on three cylinders, believing this is normal. Then illness strikes. The doctor is called. Medicines are taken. In many cases, things do not improve, or the problem turns into something else. It doesn't have to be this way. As a naturopath, Robin Bottomley does not simply treat people; she educates them too. She believes that people have to take charge of their own lives, rebuilding health and immunity from the foundations up. In this plainly-put, intelligent guide to holistic home treatment, she gives straightforward insights into many of today's common ailments - and what to do about them - using a combination of diet, supplements, herbs, homeopathic remedies and, perhaps most important of all, sensible living. She discusses all the latest available dietary evidence - including food-combining, vegetarianism, wholefoods, fats and oils and macrobiotics - and guides her reader intelligently through the nutritional minefield.
