Natural Medicine First Aid Remedies
by: Stephanie Marohn

     For many of us, common, everyday health problems mean buying expensive, over-the-counter drugs for what we hope will be fast and effective treatment. But did you know that natural medicines could often safely and as effectively replace conventional medications?

     Based on medical research and the protocols of dozens of health care practitioners, Natural Medicine First Aid Remedies provides everything you need to know to safely, quickly and effectively treat a range of problems, including burns, muscle cramps, hot flashes, shock, sore throat, toothache—100 common health problems in all. Learn how eight different natural medicine approaches, including homeopathy, herbs, diet, essential oils, flower essences, nutritional supplements, reflexology, and gem therapy, can provide healing benefits for each condition. Natural health journalist Stephanie Marohn broadens the meaning of first aid to include everyday ailments that can benefit from self-care as the first line of treatment, and she shows how to use natural medicines as the first aid you turn to for minor health concerns.

     Natural Medicine First Aid Remedies tells how to equip your medicine cabinet with the ten most essential natural remedies including arnica (for pain and stiffness), echinacea (for colds), tea tree oil (for skin infections), aloe vera gel (for burns), activated charcoal (for food poisoning), and more. This book is the reference work on using natural substances for self-care first aid relief. It is the one book every household needs for dealing with everyday life’s medical emergencies, injuries, and discomforts.
