About this title

Synopsis

Home is a place of refuge and comfort - or is it? Most of us live in houses full of plastic, treated timber, toxic paint and electrical equipment, causing indoor pollution up to 20 times more toxic than that outdoors. This is the root of many health problems suffered today, from allergies through to Sick Building Syndrome and even cancer. -- The Healthy House shows how to prevent pollution in your own surroundings, whether you are building a new house or renovating an existing building. It includes practical, easy-to-follow advice on: selecting the best place to build your house -- choosing healthy building materials -- constructing your house and briefing tradespeople -- alternative energy strategies -- chemical-free pest control -- planting a beautiful, low-allergy garden -- using feng shui to bring balance and harmony to your life. The Healthy House offers a unique synthesis of science, ancient wisdom and Eastern philosophy. Based on the premise that man's use of modern technology can harm the environment, it proposes that the advantages of science and technology should be combined with the largely forgotten discoveries and philosophies of past ages to halt the damage. By following its guiding principle - that the Earth operates as one organism and the smallest change affects the whole - man can contribute to a healthier shared future by creating a home environment designed to benefit both family and the planet.
