Reviews
The growth of natural therapy as an alternative to current medical practice creates a need for objective information. Olshevsky et al. present a unique sourcebook of treatment options for commonly known disorders and list symptoms and the appropriate treatment through the use of acupuncture, acupressure, reflexology, herbs, applied nutrition, homeopathy, color therapy, and aromatherapy. Intending this book as a manual for use, the authors start with the premise that natural therapy is effective as an adjunct to traditional medicine. The book's emphasis on treatment, not theory, will offer guidance to the lay medical consumer searching for alternative cures. Weiner and Goss offer an in-depth, complete guidebook to one form of natural therapy, homeopathy. This book contains a significant amount of theory, principles, philosophical orientation, and history, in addition to specific remedies and case studies. Included as appendixes are a bibliography, a source for homeopathic physician referrals, a list of suppliers of remedies, and a glossary of terms. Both books include well-written, comprehensive information on natural therapy. Readers interested in sources to consult will find both informative.
