Common Sense Natural Health Tips

THE ONE-MINUTE (OR SO) HEALER is a little book packed with big wisdom concerning natural remedies for a wide variety of common ailments. Thirty-one chapters on topics as diverse as acne, allergies, arthritis, constipation, coughs, depression, earaches, fatigue, influenza, insomnia, migraine headaches, irritable bowel syndrome, pain, premenstrual syndrome (PMS), sinusitis, tension headaches, and ulcers contain a multitude of short paragraphs packed with ideas for alleviating the problem at hand. This is the kind of book that I envision a new age mother giving to her children, to remind them to remember things like "eat the BRATY bunch (bananas, rice, applesauce, toast & yogurt) if you have diarrhea," and "relieve asthma by touching the pressure point in the web of your hand between your thumb and index finger." If you are facing menopause and are concerned with finding good replacements for hormone replacement therapy, you'll find the twenty natural remedies suggested by Dana Ullman to be very timely advice. Bee pollen, the Bach walnut flower remedy, natural clothing, spirulina and chlorella, soy, black cohosh, and dong quai are just a few of the wonderful possibilities you can try.Any time you find yourself wondering how to naturally alleviate a particular health issue, THE ONE-MINUTE (OR SO) HEALER will likely be the reference book you'll want to read first. Parents, health-care providers, and people who prefer to begin their health treatments with natural solutions will adore this book!-- Cynthia Sue Larsonauthor of AURA ADVANTAGE: How the Colors in Your Aura Can Help You Attain What You Desire and Attract Success

Hmmm...

The book was pretty interesting, but the title was a littlemisleading. Even with the "or so" added to the title, onemight think of a book of pressure points, herbal remidies, and other alternative methods of healing. Must of the book is planning what you eat, and keeping diaries of what's going on, all long term things. The books does have a few things, but they are not nessarily completely developed. In the pain chapter, it says to find "trigger points", explaining that they are sevsetive areas, and that's really it...But htough it is week in some areas it is helpful, even though slightly mislead.
