Synopsis The ENCYCLOPEDIA OF NATURAL MEDICINE, a basic guide to naturopathy, is divided into sections by specific medical conditions. For each illness they describe the most important ways to correct imbalances through elimination and other dietary changes, supplementation, botanical formulations, and positive lifestyle adjustments. These guidelines follow the basic building blocks of naturopathy. The first is to eliminate bad habits (a poor diet, alcohol, caffeine); the second is to introduce corrective behavior (exercise, proper breathing, positive attitude); and the third involves the incorporation of new principles of living (fasting, hydrotherapy, mineral and spa baths, osteopathy, massage). The ENCYCLOPEDIA OF NATURAL MEDICINE is an essential text for anyone wishing to discover the healing power of nature.
