  More and more people are curing their illnesses not just with drugs but also with the herbal treatments and natural preventatives that have been effectively used for thousands of years. The author of this book has compiled a compendium of tried and tested remedies and common-sense advice. For easy reference the book is organized by ailment rather than by herb and it ranges from indigestion to sore gums and from rheumatism to bronchitis. Rather than reaching for a bottle of pills to deal with a headache, the reader is advised how to make a soothing tea from lime flowers or feverfew and to rub the temples with lavender oil. Instructions are given for making a healing ointment for sunburn and for bringing relief to a child made miserable by chickenpox. The preparations are quick and easy to make from readily-available ingredients. They are also pleasant and safe to use.
