Complete Family Health Guide - New Medicine

Subtitled 'how to integrate complementary and conventional medicine for the safest and most effective treatment', this book is a landmark reference in bringing together the two fields. It begins with an editorial section on well-being and health, moving on to a discussion of conventional medical treatment before detailed briefings by specialists in the field of nutrition, bodywork, Western herbal medicine, homoeopathy, traditional Chinese medicine, acupuncture, environmental health, mind-body medicine and psychological therapy. The remaining 400 pages are devoted to diseases and disorders of every kind - brain, skin, circulation, digestion, musculoskeletal systems, women's, men's and children's health, mind and emotions, and allergies. The book is a model of clear layout and vivid illustration, itself an editorial triumph. There is even a glossary and resource list at the end.
