Product Description
Product Description
For centuries, home remedies were a routine part of life. People knew that not only did they offer effective treatments, they were also inexpensive and easy to make. However, with the growth of pharmaceutical medicines, many such remedies have been dismissed as folklore. Yet traditional remedies have continued to demonstrate their efficacy, and research into the pharmacological properties of everyday foods and herbs shows that they can be a powerful tool in promoting health. Sarah Merson presents 100 tried-and-tested remedies which offer cures for common ailments and can also help to prevent ill health in the first place - proving that it's well worth rediscovering our roots.

Focussed More of Foods, 28 Jan 2011
By Alexa Maris ""Lexa"" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Top 100 Traditional Remedies: 100 Remedies for Health and Well-being (Paperback)
I'm into home-remedies and such, so when I saw this book I was hooked. It's small and sleek and new, with a pretty picture on the cover and all. The only problem I had was that this book seemed to focus more on the foods rather than remedies. Each page contains a food and its history and its properties. There's a picture on probably every page, which I like, but the food dominates the remedies. Instead of being organized by remedy, it's organized by food. Every page has a different fruit or vegetable or food and a little recepie remedy. Instead of the remedy being bigger than the info about the food, the remedy gets a small box at the bottom of the page. Some of the 'remedies' aren't even remedies. The carrot page, for example, just has a recepie for carrot juice. I mean, sure, carrots help us see better, but that's not exactly a remedy.
Anyway, that was my only problem. Some of the recepies actually have a nice purpose, like 'strawberries for sore throats' or 'lavender for bruises, burns, and bites.' Just be aware that it's not organized by remedies or sickenesses and that not all pages the have a remedy.

I bought this book few weeks ago. When I was looking around at the pages it was not outstanding but I was happy to keep it. Simple easy to read and understand. The list that it comes with you can just use over and over. One I like was Nettle leave for tea lovers. I also enjoyed salt like epsom salt.
Listmania!
