Simple Home Remedies for Common Ailments (Common Ailments) (The Number Crew) - Softcover

This guide gathers together reliable, traditional cures, and offers them as alternative and safe treatments for illness and injurty. It is presented in three parts - "From the kitchen cupboard", "From the garden and hedgerow" and "From the bathroom cabinet". The healing ingredients are easily found around the home and garden. Recent medical research has established their medicinal qualities, making these simple treatments a welcome alternative to synthetically contrived drugs. Arranged remedy-by-remedy, illustrations and directions explain the preparation of successful treatments for home use. Folk remedies that have been handed down by ancestors continue to be a vital heritage for future generations. Anne McIntyre is the author of "Herbs for Common Ailments".
