Product Description
The Mayo Clinic Book of Alternative Medicine is an illustrated, accessible guide to understanding what works and what doesn’t in the world of complementary and alternative medicine, and how to put this information to use in your everyday life.
From acupuncture to yoga, Echinacea to St. John’s wort, and meditation to healing touch, Mayo Clinic provides answers to the most pressing questions people have about the effectiveness of complementary and alternative medicine, and when it’s appropriate to use natural remedies in place of or in conjunction with traditional medicine. This guide also offers practical advice for treating common ailments and incorporating alternative treatments into your — and your family’s — life.
I was very happy with the book. It is in good condiltion, very readable, and came quickly. I wanted to give it as a gift for christmas, and was able to do so.
Rating: 5 / 5
Nice large easy to read, not too technical book. Good for anyone who wants to bridge traditional medicine with alternative treatments.
Rating: 5 / 5
This really deserves 3 1/2 stars. It is very good for what it includes, but should include a bit more. It mostly emphasizes cardiac health. Much of the information is well documented and available elsewhere.
But it does a very good job in presenting the material and making it understood by many people.
Rating: 3 / 5
This book isn’t really that informative. I should have saved my money and just used my computer.
