About this title

From Library Journal:

Here's one book on alternative medicine that could be read cover to cover. In fact, that's the best way to use it. Seven topically arranged chapters give a balanced discussion of such therapies as acupuncture, hypnosis, therapeutic touch, t'ai chi, and macrobiotic diet. Case histories are interposed throughout, along with colorful photographs. The final chapter lists 51 common ailments and three therapeutic approaches labled "orthodox medicine," "commonsense care," and "natural medicine." There is a constant reminder always to seek the services of a qualified practitioner. The subject index is complete and detailed. While a reader will have to look elsewhere for in-depth information about a particular therapy, this book provides an excellent and enjoyable overview of holistic medicine. For public libraries.
