Synopsis

Thousands of answers to everyday health issues-right at your fingertips

The Complete Home Health Advisor, presented in a popular numbered-list format, offers quick and easy answers to the most common health problems, practical advice to prevent illness and promote healing, and authoritative information about up-to-date medical care.

This is the ultimate “book of lists,” with eight sections covering everything from self-help topics and medical procedures to crucial facts about the human body and the best places to get medical care. It’s easy to use and very comprehensive. The homeopathy chapter, for example, supplies background information on what homeopathy is and how to take homeopathic remedies. It then provides a list of 72 common medical conditions-from bronchitis and bedwetting to sciatica and toothache-and typical remedies for each one, as well as a sidebar section that defines each remedy so readers know what they’re taking. Other practical lists include:

·37 Most Common Household Accidents
·14 Causes of Insomnia
·16 Most Poisonous Plants
·23 Items Every Home Should Have
·87 Over-the-Counter Medicines and What They’re Good For
·29 Youth-Preserving Tips from America’s Top Health Authorities

No other book offers instant access to so much information in one handy source. Every home should have a copy.
