Synopsis
Some of the home remedies listed in THE PEOPLE'S PHARMACY GUIDE TO HOME AND HERBAL REMEDIES are jaw-droppingly odd: gin-soaked raisins to cure arthritis pain, coconut macaroons for diarrhea, and corn husker's hand lotion for sexual lubricant. Well, regardless of skepticism level, it can't hurt to try. The essential aspect of this book however is its section of unbiased reviews of the many varieties of herbal supplements currently available, along with an exhaustive list of remedies for ailments ranging from anxiety to varicose veins. A thorough account of herbal properties, their healing effects and preparation, and any negative side effects are provided for more than 60 herbs. An informative list of herbal web sites rounds it out. Most importantly, the book pays close attention to the risks involved with mixing some herbs with prescription drugs, other herbs, and other medications--important factors that doctors and health store staff should not overlook.

Publisher's Note
The FDA is not overseeing the manufacture of herbal remedies, nor is there any standard of quality control that manufacturers must meet to protect consumers. So how do consumers know which products are safe? Until there's a better system of ensuring that the herbal medicines people use are safe, consumers will have to protect themselves. THE PEOPLE'S PHARMACY GUIDE TO HOME AND HERBAL REMEDIES, by the multimillion--copy bestselling team of Joe and Teresa Gradeon, gives them the tools to do just that. The Graedon's are always on the cutting edge of medicinal breakthroughs, having scooped the mainstream media on such remedies as Viagra, Propecia, and taking B-vitamins to reduce heart attack risk. Included in this powerful new book: An A-Z hand book of common symptoms and ailments; An overview of the most popular hears in the U.S., Europe, and Australia; Time-tested, Graedon-approved home and herbal remedies, vitamin therapies, and dietary supplements; Over 50 monographs that detail active ingredients, common uses, proper dosages, special precautions, adverse effects, and possible herb and drug interactions for each herb; Resource listings of herbal web pages and products.
